I feel it is like a dreadful disease “DEPRESSION”, the word means a lot, especially at such times when the world is going through the Global Recession and many people have lost there jobs and then the terror attacks in Mumbai, India.

One gets really depressed by looking at the current situation. By watching all the News Channel and the Newspapers warning the masses that the “Worst is still to come“. I read it all the time that there are so many jobs gets axed on a daily basis and getting laid off is the most dreadful thing to happen. It takes a lot of time for an individual to get out of the feeling that he/she have been laid off. Earlier on I used to listen to all this too, but understood how one feels when this happened to me and my fellow colleagues a few months back and thus thought of sharing my feelings.

The first thing that I noticed was the change in behavior and attitude of your “so called friends” and then the tone of the recruitment agencies also change that too overnight. Once they get to know that you are out of job or you have been recently laid off things take a U turn. Believe me this feeling is something which cannot be expressed in words but it is like you get preoccupied thinking about “What’s Next?”, as if you are been haunted and if one does not engage him/her self into any activity then the dreadful disease takes over...

I would like all of you to share your feelings and give your valuable feedback on the same.
