I Lost a job I really liked. I felt usefull and appriciated. I made lots of friends and every day I enjoyed getting up early to go to work.
Last friday they called me in the office and told me to pack up my stuff and leave emediately. I still can't belive I'm not going back to work.
I just walk around the house thinking what job I schould be doing. I'm not great at anyting, just average in a lot of things. I'm terible in taking classes, cause of bad memory. How do I get back on track?

I am SO sorry this happened to you. This probably feels like the end of the world - I know it did for me when it happened.
Actually what happened is that they decided to "Free" you for an opportunity more suited to your talents. You may have liked it, but someday it will become clear to you why that job wasn't the right fit for you whatever that reason may be. For now, throw yourself full-time into finding a new job. Also, during this time, be extremely kind to yourself - get enough sleep, eat a little healthier, maybe exercise, and start reading about something that makes you feel good. If you can afford some counseling, it might do you some good. I am concerned about your self-esteem from a few comments you made about yourself. It will be hard to portray yourself in the best possible light without believing in yourself. Focus on what makes you unique and special.
Best of luck to you - I promise, it will get a lot better than this.

I'm so sorry to hear that, it must a very difficult time in your life. Have you looked into a temp agency? From what I've heard, they sometimes offer some training courses in office skills. You also gain some experience in the process.
Another option may be to visit a local university or community college, to talk with a counselor about the problems you've experienced with school and your memory. It could be some kind of anxiety issue or some other learning disability, that can be treatable.
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide.

I cannot believe you used the words average and bad memory as an excuse. You bought that belief and are creating more of it and the Universe set up a situation to get you fired so that you can live up to your potential.
You have no idea that those excuses are no longer valid.
You are great, you are above average in your own talent and you can create a better memory.
You have to believe that or you will suffer until you do and when you believe it, you will prosper.

You haven't realized the beauty in this yet or you wouldn't be stewing with this brew.
That job can not go on if you are to meet your true potential. Since you weren't willing to go for your real life, the fates took over for you. NOW>>you get out there and do what you always really wanted to do! Maybe this happened because you are supposed to move and there you will find your real love.

Aw man, that's awful! ESPECIALLY when you LIKE to go to work!!

or try mortgage banking. You'll get back on track honey...it's a rat race out there.
