A scary and overwhelming time in my life. Any advice?

So, the past year has been a whirlwind of bad news after bad news. And the challenges keep mounting. I'm at a point now where the future is uncertain and frankly quite scary. I know I have some anxiety, which isn't helping things. But I was hoping that someone with a similar experience could help shed some light on how they dealt with it on their end. Any advice would help. I would have thought that by my age, I's have it all figured out. But life doesn't always work out the way we anticipate. I'm still trying to figure it all out. So to keep this as simple as possible. We'll start this off by saying that I had been at my job for thirteen years. Last year around March, they decided to close the business due to my boss having Parkinson's disease. He and his wife didn't want to mess with running a business anymore. And instead wanted to focus on enjoying life and enjoying time with their new twin granddaughters. At the beginning of April, they decided to sell the company to a business about a block away, who we had done business with on a regular basis for many years. My job was to stay the same. And all of the systems and inventory would remain unchanged. It was merely a change of address. So we got all of the inventory moved, all of the inventory, warehousing, and ordering systems up and running, and then the bread and butter of our business, a client who my previous employer had retained for about fifteen years, decided to jump ship and go with another company. There was a big panic at that time. Not only from me, but from my new boss. But he found a way to absorb me into the company and find other things to do. I was very appreciative. For the past several years, I'd lived at my dad's house. He had been in and out of the hospital and in nursing homes for the better part of the decade. When my apartment lease wasn't renewed, he told me to just go live at the house, as it was better than leaving it abandoned in his absence. So that's what I did. He had many issues going on. But he'd always pulled through. But last July, he suddenly, and unexpectedly died, after having to go back into the hospital for an infection. His house had a second mortgage taken out on it back in '08, because of my mom's frivolous spending. There was no way that I could afford to pay the mortgage at $1700 a month, and so I began house shopping and ceased paying the mortgage on dad's place. Fast forward a couple of months, and I was able to find a little house that I could afford, and began fixing it up a little in preparation to move in. I knew I had a long road ahead of me when it came to sorting through all of dad's belongings, and old items of mine from childhood. But most people I talked to said the foreclosure process usually could take upwards of six months to a year once they decided to go that route. So a week ago, I got the letter in the mail, only two weeks after the letter that said they were pursuing foreclosure, that informed me that the property will be auctioned April 5th. So I've been scrambling like mad trying to get everything of importance out of here. I know there are many things that I'll have to leave behind, just because I simply won't have space or the time or manpower to move them. But I am making progress. To make matters worse, two days before I received the auction letter, my boss told me that it was likely they'd have to let me go at some point in the near future. It's all just too much at once. And here I am trying to get it all worked out. Sometimes I don't even have the energy to do much more that take one load over to the new place, due to the emotional overload of potential joblessness while having a new mortgage to pay. Add to it the fact that I'll have to watch my childhood home go by the wayside, and it seems like a lot to digest at once. I know there are people out there who have been through a lot worse. And I admire their spirit and their guts. But this whole mess is really drained me for the past year. Any advice?

Take the time of day you'd spend on this post working up your resume and start sending it out for new prospects. It was very considerate of your boss to let you know ahead of time that you'd be let go soon. I suspect it was done so that you could more smoothly transition. Ask if he can give you a good review for upcoming assessments. Have friends? Ask them to help you move.Maybe rent a Uhaul truck and a small storage container until such a time as you have room to put your dad's stuff away. Have a good cry or go to the gym and just hit the sandbag. Let this shit out. then, get focused and get done what needs to be done. It's a lot of crap to deal with but if you want to make it then you need to roll your shoulders up, brace yourself, and get to it. Whatever you do, best of luck that your situation pans out for the better

^^^Also make sure you spend time with close friends/relatives who can understand what you are going through and who you can relax around. And continue to remind yourself that though you are going through a lot, you have it in you to get overcome this.

Alright bud. I know this isn't easy. Life can just throw a ringer at you and it can feel hopeless. All I can say, is get what you can get done with that house first. Get all the important stuff out, Then start looking for another job, immediately, even if you aren't fired, if they'll pay you a similar amount, well... one isn't trying to get rid of you. After that, let yourself unwind a bit. Exercise, Do what you enjoy, work on a hobby. Go out with friends or family. Get the tough stuff out of the first, or at least that's what I'd do, so you can focus on unwinding instead of worrying about it when you should be relaxing. Just don't give up and keep working at it, and things will turn out.

There's always going to be that rocky part of life but in the end, you'll learn and grow from it. Keep doing the best you can and give yourself a little reward little by little. Also, don't feel ashamed in receiving help. Some people feel that at times but there's nothing wrong with that. I mentioned it since I've known people who felt that when they asked me for help.

Sadly I can't offer any advice myself since I've never dealt with this sort of stuff myself but I REALLY hope you're doing okay and holding on! Sometimes we go through these really hard times in our lives that just seem unavoidable and inevitable but just keep trying the best you can and never lose hope! Eventually you'll find that light at the end of the long dark tunnel so just keep pressing on doing what you do and everything will finally pay off for you, I'm sure of it! I wish you the best of luck!
