life help: Life really loves to throw lemons. - Help.com

At least you found love….Your lucky……You will get through this, and be stronger for it…..No I am not dismissing your pain, but life as we know it is changing and we need to bend with the changes rather then resist it…….

I put you on my friend list… If you need someone to talk to I am there…

i wish you and your boyfriend all the best of luck and wishes. i’m glad you can find it to stay strong. cheers.

I’m so sorry..I know how you feel, because oddly enough, my boyfriend just got laid off last week. :( I had to be *extra* strong for him the first couple of days especially…he was very depressed and quiet..it’s scary. He’s the guy that always makes people laugh without hardly trying…and for him to be quiet like that is just upsetting :(
He’s also one of those people that HAS to work, or he just goes crazy. But I guess around Sunday..he started acting a little like his old self. I’ve been trying to keep him in a good mood through this.

It’s hard to though, this is a terrible time for people to lose their jobs. And people don’t really understand how scary and painful it is until it hits close to home like that. When he told me (over the phone) I had to be strong for him, but as soon as I got off the phone, I burst into tears. I felt so awful for him :(

But, on a more positive note, we’ve had lunch together a couple times..we usually didn’t have any time to do that before (because of our jobs)..but now on my lunch break from work I just go to his house and bring something he likes to eat.
Just try to do little things that you know would help keep him in good spirits…and he’ll love you forever.

I feel us getting closer and closer…this is our first “rough patch” to experience together…and I think it’s helped us grow a little, already. I’m pretty sure you guys will get stronger through this too. It sounds like your love is very strong! :)

Hang in there and I hope it turns around:)

I am so sorry for you, my bf was up for redundancy and they choose to keep him and lay the other guy off and just the threat of it was awful, I know so many people going through this, you just have to be strong for him and keep giving him motivation an never moan at him when he starts to give up thats the hardest part being supportive when they just want to give up, I hope it all sorts out soon

Hi Emily, It’s the tough times in life that make you stronger. Doesn’t mean that life is better though. I’ll chat more with you later. I don’t like making lemonade either but I have on occasion.

Well, If life gave you lemons and you can’t make lemonade, make apple juice and watch the world wonder how the heck you did it. (The credits for that probably go to xkcd.com)

But seriously, just try and find a ‘interim’ job - take a job that most people wouldn’t, and wait for things to get better.
