I'm about to lose my job because my company is not able to negotiate my existing contract and I'm unable to secure another job. I feel anxiety on what to do and next steps to take.
The task was good, I was able to cope with my situation and able to feel better about the situation.
Maybe add emojis to make a better statement.
Good evening, how are you feeling at the moment?

Oh I am so sorry. Please know that I am happy to listen! What is going on with you?

I'm about to lose my current job, because my contract is about to expire. I don't have another job offer on the line.

Is there no possibility of having your contract renewed?

They honored my current contract, but due to rising cost and expenses they are downsizing the company.

It could be due to the pandemic, I suppose. Are you in touch with government agencies who could help you due to the exceptional circumstances?

Yes I reached out, but unemployment won't help as much, won't cover most of my expenses. I just don't know how to deal and cope from this. I want to change my mindset but it's all at once and I can't deal with it.

I think a good place to start would be your doctor - they might be able to refer you to a counsellor.

I understand seeking professional help is a good move. But its more the feeling of uncertainty that I have trouble coping with. I know if I can overcome this, I can deal with it and move on. Any ideas?

Would you consider taking some sort of job on a temporary basis, even though it is way out of your normal field? Bar tending or something? Just to make you feel you were earning.
assistant
Question
I do have side incomes, but I lost majority of my income. But I know I can find something in the future. I just need to overcome this anxiety and nervous feeling. Maybe then I can have confidence.

Would you consider medication? It's not a panacea but it can help in the short term.
assistant

No medications, a bit stronger than that. I can cope without that. Probably might seek a professional and talk it out.

Whatever you do don't go self medicating! That does not help at all. I hope I have been able to give you a little bit of piece of mind and I wish you a good deal of luck in the future

That true, I meant I dont want any medications. Might try other coping techniques, talking, breathing.
