Scratching my back

Work has really slumped in the last few months at work...work what i thought was recession proof

Everyone is talking about it at work and everyones trying to work out who is going to go, which will most likely be just after christmas. I fear it will be me as im the newest one downstairs
I have been praying to the heavenly father for help and i have been applying for jobs with some intrests.

I have a loan and i help keep my family in our home, if i lose my job we are finished

Just as my life was going fantastic, i have a wonderful girlfriend, im doing a 4k computer course financed my Barclays, doing a customer services course and i have almost completed my driving...and it could be all taken away from me in the next few weeks!

I keep crying and praying for help, i think im falling into depression, i cant sleep at night and im starting to have some sort of panic attacks.

Im constantly applying for jobs, but the job market is tough.

What should i do?

First and foremost you need to get that sorted.

Remind me, what is it you do (work-wise) Elite?

Simple solution to panic attacks? Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Should help a bit. Also helps to learn to recognise the thought patterns that induce depression/panic attacks and find ways to avoid them or distract yourself.

Lastly, anxiety/depression will be debilitating to your efforts for everything you do. Get it sorted first or it will fuck up things down the track.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

and you turn to BF2s for answers?

do the best you can and do what you have to do

panicing , crying and praying are useless.
when all else fails start drinking or smoking weed
and play more BF2

make the best with what you got and keep going
imagine how lucky you are to have the small things in life
people are out there starving to death and living in boxes

everyday above ground is a good day

Get some sort of life cover that will cover your outgoings in the event you lose your job (i.e. rent/mortgage, bills etc). I happen to know of a place that is having a Jan Sale on life cover starting on 24/12. See if you can't find somewhere that will give you free advice on it. PM me if you want more info. It may not happen that you lose your job, but as you said, you're fucked if you do.

Hmm... skilled but specialised... never good in a recession.

Do you have transferable skills (i.e. non-specialist)?

What ever happens grow to accept it and do not get discouraged if the inevitable comes. I am in the same position as you, the company i worked for already fired 30 employees this past month, they probably getting ready for round 2. My coworkers seem to be walking on egg shells. I guess it is a normal reaction but I made some terms to myself and not going to let a bad situation dictate my health or mental attitude.
I have a mortage, loan, family to take care of but not losing sleep over it.

Good Luck...let me know how things work out

If I get canned, it is because of some sexual harrassment but now we have no pretty eye-candy at work so that is going to be tough.

Well, since you seem to be spiritual ... and I'm guessing you are a Christian because of the "Father" and "prayer" language you use ... then if you are in a healthy Christian community they will cover your back for you assuming they know your situation (1 John 3:16-19).  The strong in a Christian community help others who are going through temporary times of trouble - they are the answer to your prayers.

So, as a result you should have nothing to worry about.

Everything in this post is good advice except for the highlighted part.

Idk but alcohol and ganja are both 'depressive' drugs. Unless you're chilling with mates and getting pissed/stoned, steer clear. Without the social context and in your current state of mind they will fuck you if you are already down.

Unless you shot half a bottle of vodka rapidly. Then you'll just be numb.

I'm going to jump in here without even knowing how it is for ELITE-UK and say that basically, it's not really anything like that over here compared to how it is over there. I reckon I might be fairly secure in saying that without ELITE telling me otherwise.

Anyway, yeah it does suck that you MIGHT lose your job. But, go through your connections, your family members, your friends (and on the girlfriend side too), try and get some work that way.

Also, speaking of the whole girlfriend thing, dude, at least you have a girlfriend and all that, so it's not the end of the world and everything. You know, cos you still have someone on your side, cos things always suck more when it's not like that

Stop praying to god, he can do fuck all to help you. The only person who can is yourself. Put your faith in your own abilities and keep plugging away at it. Try and keep positive at work and in life and things will work out. If I was looking to trim the fat in my office id be looking at the depressed kid. Not the positive guy who is constantly trying to improve himself. Which you are by the sounds of things. Just try and keep happy.

ppl pray to god when times are tough. Sure its nice to think someone is listening to you. But seriously, it is counterproductive. Obviously, god isn't going to swoop down from heaven and destroy the credit crunch, so putting your hopes and energy into praying to him is only going to led to depression when he doesn't answer.

Im actually part of The church of jesus crist of latter day saints. But i will read the scripture
You're a Normon....errr Mormon?  I was actually baptized into the church many, many, MANY years ago, but I left soon after.  Way too many hypocritical, backstabbing, two face assholes in the church around here.  I've met a few that are really nice, including the guy that was the Bishop of the ward at the time I was attending.  However, I've heard from many Mormons not native to Utah that Mormons are a completely different breed outside of this state.  Here they think they can do anything, and hold pretty much all the political power in the state, and aren't afraid to use it.

So I'm also guessing that the suggestion to get drunk and/or stoned is out of the question.  D&C 89

He has an American girlfriend and was probably indoctrinated into that whacko-church whilst over there visiting one of their hysterical churches.

To be honest if you're looking for help and guidance from 'scripture', you probably deserve to lose your job. If I was the manager looking around at economical and wise decision-making regarding job redundancies, I'd definitely axe the guy that takes instruction and advice in his job from some American bigots with a half-arsed religion borrowed from Europe.

But, in all seriousness... good look, and you don't even know if you, or anyone will be fired. You'll probably be worrying over nothing.
