Take care of yourself on your way to recovery. Do not rush yourself to feel better instantly. We all have periods when we feel down but there comes a time that we will feel ready to take on the world again. Your feelings may shift among numbness, anger, sadness and desolation. The important thing with emotional recovery from a bad job is that you help yourself. Do not beat yourself up. Take the things that you can change from the things you have no control over.
