An ugly cry

It's 2 a.m., and I've just had a full-blown cry, yet I still feel an overwhelming heaviness in my chest. It feels like the weight could bury me alive.

I have five years of experience in Human Resources, but after being laid off earlier this year, I haven't been able to secure a new role. Initially, I was determined to get into the type of organization and role I wanted, but given the current state of the world, I readjusted my expectations and was ready to take whatever came my way just to stay afloat. After five months of applying and interviewing, I feel exhausted. I've run out of all my savings while juggling personal and family commitments, and I see no hope in the near future. I am scared, demotivated, sad, and have given up on my usual routine of waking up on time, exercising, eating well, doing skin care, and even talking to friends. It feels like the world around me is collapsing gradually.

Am I alone in this, or is this happening to others as well?
