I have and it's been really tough emotionally more than i thought if i'm honest. When i got the package of money i was excited this is a fresh new start for me i'll get a new job and have plenty of savings behind me. This is when reality set in 5 months down the line still couldn't get a job a want and so much time to think in my head. "Why me", "What did i do wrong to deserve this" & "what the f@$k am i going to do?"

I think what happens to our sellf confidence after layoffs is becoming a much bigger issue than most people realise. How is everyone who is experiencing this?

I honestly think one of the hardest parts my redundancy is what it does has done to my confidence over time.

Especially when the silence, ghosting, and rejections start piling up just makes me sit around over thinking way too much into all it, blaming myself and second guessing if I’m now good enough to even be in the marketplace.

Hope everyone else is doing ok

You finish a full day in the salon completely drained… but when you get home you still can’t switch off.

Like your body’s tired, but your head is still full of clients, conversations, and everything from the day.

I’ve been speaking to a few stylists about this and it seems way more common than I thought.

I’ve started testing something simple to help with it — basically just a way to let it out properly so you can actually switch off after work.

Tried it with one person already and they said they felt calm and clear straight after, which surprised me.

Just curious — is this something others struggle with too?
