Short version is, in better keeping with the Fallout crossover theme, I adjusted the year the bombs fall in Renewal from 1067 to 1077.

Hey there readers,
I'm not sure this is really the place to share this, so I'll try to be as not rambly as I can. I lost my job today. I'm going to be taking some time to process what happened, but suffice to say Chapter 36 might not be out in the monthly schedule I usually aim for. I'm still going to keep working on it and this isn't a hiatus of any sort. I just need to hit pause on some things and regroup.
Thank you all for reading along with my schmaltzy apocalypse ponies so far. There will be more to come.
Damn. Sorry that you lost your job.

Same. I spent a good hour venting to my folks over the phone, but I'm going to take some time for myself and try to see it as an opportunity. :/

I'm really sorry to hear it. Be well.
(I don't really have any useful horsewords, but I do have horsesympathy)
I am sorry to hear this for you. I have been there before myself so I can understand how you feel. Do some self-care as needed, then pick yourself up and get going again.
I have been through it too. In my case it brought me to a lowest spot in my life, and I was hurt and angry, but I found a way to survive and channeled those feelings into a driving determination, motivated to prove them wrong so I could look them in the eyes in a few years and say 'You treated me wrong, you were wrong about me, I AM a good and and worthwhile person, and now I'm doing better than ever, so fuck you.'. And I achieved my goals, though I never bothered to go back and throw it in their face. Any time I felt like giving up I'd think of those asshats and my drive would pick up again.
Everyone gets motivated in different ways. I'm sure you'll find yours and succeed. Keep your head up, because it's easy to tell you're a good and worthwhile person and a damn hard worker too.
take all the time you need, we'll be here rooting for ya like always :)
Oo, sorry! Good luck getting things sorted out, and don't worry about us while you do; we can wait while you make sure you'll still be able to afford little luxuries like "groceries" and "heating".
You really can't catch a break.
No rush Elbow, and good luck.
My sympathies, as I've been through much the same in the past year.
Others have said the things that need to be said...Take the time you need, do what you have to do. Your health (mental and emotional, not just physical) is more important than pleasing a bunch of weirdos on the internet...And most of us will be more pleased to hear you took time and are feeling better rather than working yourself into a nervous breakdown out of perceived obligation.
Best luck finding a new job and some stability and feeling of safety for yourself.
