At the time of the 2008 crisis, I had been working at my favorite job for four years. A few months before this, I bought an apartment and was renovating it. I had a large loan. And in February 2008 they announced to me that the company was bankrupt, we were closing, and they would fire me without severance pay. I remember well the horror that gripped me. And my denial of the problem too. I tried to get a job, but somehow I wasn’t persistent, because I felt like I was in a fog. And she simply stopped paying the loan. Six months later, collectors started calling me. A solution was found. Six months later, I found out that banks have credit holidays and debt restructuring (I just didn’t know this). And in 2009, I got a job. It took me a year to return to my previous state, to adapt to the crisis. And the conclusion that I made then is that I need time, but it is possible to return to the previous level. And if you think about it, I not only returned, but also grew, because I had the experience of coping. One of the important abilities of a person is the ability to adapt. And the more experience we have in adapting, the stronger we are. Children grow up and gain experience in coping with what happens around them and this develops them. And an adult constantly gains experience. And the more diverse it is, the more effective we are. But this experience can vary in degree of impact. And serious crises: layoffs, loss of livelihood, loss of a loved one, etc. – these are situations that require a lot of time for adaptation, enormous mental and emotional resources. And you should give them to yourself, not scold yourself for it, but recognize this need and take care of yourself. And now this is exactly what is happening: you and I find ourselves in a crisis that affects all areas of life - these are financial changes, changes in work formats, We are mastering many new technologies, family and everyday life, and relationships with loved ones are changing. If in 2008 I had to cope with financial changes and job loss, now there is much more newness. And I understand that the most important thing now is to give myself time to recognize these changes and get used to them, and begin to build a new life in accordance with them. Whatever we do, no matter how we react to it, we will still need time to get into the habitual rut, to adapt and survive losses. The more we put it off and try to live in the old way, we don’t notice our feelings about what is happening, the less we recognize them and this reality, the longer we postpone adaptation, that is, returning to a comfortable existence. I don’t know, maybe maybe someone knows how to do this quickly, but I personally gave myself time to stare into emptiness, freeze, suffer, lose motivation and spent the last two weeks almost like a vegetable... I continued to do my usual things, but my emotional state, relationships with loved ones and I left everything I could to chance, stopped investing in everything I could stop investing in, fulfilled all my obligations that I had, and put the rest on pause. And you know, by giving in to the flow, I rested, gained strength and now I can I can get to where I need to go, I can look around and see how I can live in this new place now. And I really wish you in this situation, first of all, take care of yourself and your resources, cut down everything that you can cut back, stop resisting what is impossible to resist, and then you will definitely have the strength to live on.
