Dear Lisa,
Its not bad to feel bad. You should HONOR your emotions. They are your friends. You cannot change your present situation if you dont acknowledge what you feel.
Changes are occurring to you. Be aware of it. Most of all, pray, meditate & ponder on your life. KNOW THAT YOU ARE WELL BEING. Everything will turn out fine. TRUST yourself. TRUST the Universe.

I know. I fear that it is effecting my relationship with my fiance and my family. My parents have told me that I sound angrier and snappish when we talk and my fiance tells me that my crying and depression is also draining him. And they have been nothing but supportive to me since it has happened. I just want to have some closure, happiness, and confidence back to me.

I also felt very depressed today, then i thought about the secret, and tried to figure how to make my thoughts less depressive. My attitude towards it werent great thou, so i figured i would try to check out the Secret -website and maybe get my thoughts onto something positive. i watched this clip: http://www.thesecret.tv/secret-to-you/index.html
And i got in a better mood.
now i realise that im really a great guy... after all...
Maybe it works for you too! the music is also helping on the mood. hehe

I actually did view this clip and it did help me feel a little better. I will try to make a habit of looking at this every morning to help start my day right.

Hi Lisa

It's easier said than done, but try to focus on all the good in your life and try to encourage more positive feelings. Sit down and make a list of all that you are grateful for - and forbid yourself from dwelling on the negative!

When we come into allignment with our true selves, often you'll find that many changes occur around you... these appear as bad at first, but if you think about it, ALL change is making way for new, more positive things to come into your life. Don't think of losing your job as a bad thing - think of it as an opportunity given to you by the Universe (or God) to discover what it is that you'd really like to be doing, and to fully utilise your talents. There is something better waiting for you... you just need to tap into what it is!

I hope that this offers you some encouragement and hope! A quote I am absolutely in LOVE with at the moment which could be useful and inspiring to you:

"One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birt to a dancing star" (Niezsche)

I know how you feel, a lot of people are suffereing from the economy, but what you have to remember is you have the support from everyone on this site, and you know the secret! A few bad things have hapened to me recently, and yeah, at first it got me down, but (and it may take a little time), it'll all work out for the better. If you can use the secret, you can use this to your advantage. You never know, the universe might just be trying to get you to go for another job, maybe one you might not have gone for before, but now you feel you have no options, and I bet if this does happen, you'll end up enjoying that job more, and probably getting better paid than before. Focus on your wedding, focus on all the nice stuff you'll have, the dress, heck, you could even go shopping for the dress. You might not want to buy it right away, because if you're like me you like to play it safe a bit. Whilst you're feeling low though, there are many things you can do to try and take your mind off it. For me, I write, for you it might be from sports to reading to playing a musical instrument?

I really hope this helps, and don't forget, if you totally believe and TRUST the Secret, it can't fail you. It took me a while to totally gain trust of the secret, but when bad stuff happens to me now, I just see it as a path to something better.

Best wishes, and keep us posted on how you are,

We are all rooting for you!

Rose

I went through a lot of fear and depression recently. I did not lose my job, but a lot of other stuff has been happening that made me fear the future, especially in the financial matters. What I did was, I made up my mind that I will not get depressed over these things. I said to myself, "I refuse to get anxious, fearful and depressed!"

I pasted some inspiring quotes around the house and in my home office. I layed some of the Secret checks around the house to remind myself that my job is not my only source of income. I said (and still say) affirmations everyday. I flooded my head with podcasts of the Secret messages. I listen to my ipod with these messages everyday while at work and during my long commute to work. I read the Secret book or articles whenever I get a chance.

The key is to not allow yourself to stay depressed or fearful for too long. You can acknowlege you are upset, but try to replace the negative thoughts with some postive thoughts. If you keep the negative thoughts close to you, you will end up attracting more of what you don't want. You want to send positive vibration, so you will get the good things in life.

Use this time to plan your wedding. Don't let your old bosses win by affecting your relationships. They are not worth it. I lost relationships due to stress at work and those jobs are gone and those bosses and coworkers are out of my life.

Thank you everyone for your support!

I have been trying many things to help me focus on getting back on track. I've started by journaling my thoughts, of anything on my mind such as what I want in life and what I am grateful for. I also try to getting out of my house, by going to a local coffee shop or going swimming in my pool to help me relax.

On Monday, I am going to be meeting with an ex co-worker who I worked closely with at my old job. I am hoping that talking to her will help give me some closure as well help me forgive for what happened to me.

I am also going to begin in taking some free computer classes in learning web design. I am a graphic designer by trade and the job market for print design is a bit slow here in San Diego. With building more web skills I hope to create an online portfolio, as well as improve my skills and improve my chances of getting a great new job.

I thank everyone here for helping me lift my spirits. : )
