So, my life has been pretty shitty to begin with but I still tried to live it through. Then I lost my mother and I became passive suicidal, of sorts. Now, I am going to do everything to just end it all. Why? Because I am about to lose my job. It is a mass layoff and I am going to join the fray. The last bit of happiness I had is also taken from me. It feels like a game where you are destined to lose no matter what you do.....and there is only one way to end this loop...

Yeah, I've been a victim of a mass layoff 2 months ago and even though I've been recommended to a new place and I already started working there, I lost a lot of money, I will make only 40% of what I gained in my previous job. Also, I miss it a lot, I was good at it. And the worst thing is that I learned that no matter how hard you try, you can still end up with nothing so it's not worth it.

I lost my favourite job (180 people did across my city) I've ever had in February and found out my fiancé had been cheating on me while I was away at work, now I have a new position with the company and they already are threatening to fire me.
every single day the rope gets closer and closer to my neck. I'm starting to have dreams about my partner finding out about me being suicidal again :/

I'm sorry about the loss of your mother. I recently experienced this and it's incredibly challenging. The layoff can't be helping things and it really sucks that you're dealing with that on top of grieving. What sort of severance package are you eligible for and have you looked into unemployment benefits? Take some time for yourself and clear your head.

They have given me 3-months notice period which is now around 2.5 months

That sucks, really.

Yup, I am good at my job too. But as things are, I will be screwed if I don't find a new job quick....well, in 2.5 months.
I have applied to almost hundreds of postings. But no luck. I just get turned down and sometimes, they don't even show the courtesy of telling me that I didn't make it. They just ghost me.

I lost my job in a roundabout way. I was doing full-time work/full-time school in an effort to get on a better path. Literally, as soon as I got licensed for my new job, the deep state took a flamethrower to my life. Took all my money. Crushed my health. I'm unable to even work part-time any more. Deep state plans are pretty brutal when executed so well.

Any lost their jobs?

I was the unexpected beneficiary of a very rare, very unexpected self-employment opportunity which I seized ~ 6ish years ago. I always knew it would come to an end, and was also quite cognizant of the fact that I never deserved to receive such a spontaneous, unsought blessing.

It allowed me to enjoy modest financial stability while being able to work full-time on the creative projects which are near and dear to me and truly my "life's work." I resolved to spend the time mostly in solitude, trying to make the most of every moment with the ever-present knowledge this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to "follow my dreams" could suddenly cease to be, at any time. I didn't know when, but I knew it would inevitably end at some point, and that it would absolutely devastating.

As expected, and due to factors beyond my individual control, this is exactly what came to pass. Nothing lasts forever, and the things that make us happiest are the hardest to lose. I'm immensely grateful for being able to have the experience, though, it means I got to spend the final years of my abbreviated life doing something worthwhile and fulfilling.... almost makes up for all the prior years of frustration and despair.

The pro-lifers' advice to me would be "go get a regular job now," and for some folks, this might be sound advice. However in my case, it was the time spent at those "regular jobs" that exacerbated my maladaptive mentality and drove me to self-medicate with illegal drugs. Why on Earth would anyone in their right mind voluntarily return to such conditions?

As such I am fully committed to ending this thing on as high note a possible.

Coincidentally, I will also lose this job in September.

Kind of same for me. I have a fully remote job (which will cease to be in September) which allows me to work at my own convenience. A regular job would suck the blood out me and leave me a dry husk. But always remember, you aren't supposed to be happy.

I can relate to this in some ways.

The ghosting is the worst, it should be forbidden!
