no really, I'm fine
Major life changes don't really phase me. Yes, I just lost my high paying job of the last six years, but no I'm not freaking out.
Everyone I tell that I am unemployed immediately asks "Are you OK??" with a really concerned look. I got the same thing when I told people I was getting divorced. The truth is, after my rather fucked up childhood, anything that is not immediately life-threatening to me or someone I love pretty much runs right off my feathers without getting them wet. I am a duck.
Every now and then I have the momentary financial panic (when I try to see too far into the future), but I talk myself down pretty easily. I'm fine. I'm not going to starve. I will find plenty of work. In fact, I feel about 50x better without the daily stress factory.

Adversity and survival has it's advantages. I always have known that if I could survive what I did as a kid, I could thrive anywhere. You'll be fine, better than fine in fact.
