Yeah, I got laid off around 2011 and couldn't find a job for about 9 months. I think 6 months of sitting around doing nothing was really nice, but 9 was kinda pushing it. Definitely could have felt better about a longer break if I had worked on being more social, but I was barely leaving my house during this time.
- captmorrel 5y agoYeah I can understand - its a different mindset when you didn't intentionally take the break and it was forced on you. I have been laid-off and gone through the resulting emotions. I think I handle it much better now. Plus I have some runway to take a break.
- sp332 5y agoYeah the stress was at a different level when I was coming to the end of unemployment benefits (which were extended due to one of those economic disasters), but that didn't seem relevant to your question :)
- captmorrel 5y agoAppreciate your being on point. Hope you are doing well now!
