AskTRP,

So after only a month, the company I got hired by basically got their subcontract cancelled (entertainment industry) and a job that I was really loving looks like it's gone before it started.

Normally, jobs come and go in this industry and layoffs are part of the business, but I really liked this one and was hoping it would last.

Anyway, I feel like shit. Usually I feel "free" after a job comes to an end but now I feel like part of my pride and masculinity has been taken away.

I know this is just feeling sorry for myself shit, and I can / will bounce back and be fine but for the next few days I doubt I'm gonna be feeling very "alpha". And I may find myself my plates and other attractive women this weekend which will make this feeling even more precarious.

Anybody have advice on how to bounce back (very) quick from an emotional hit like this?
