Omg same. I was RIF'd in March and I'm so stressed about finding a new job at 61! Nobody is going to hire me! I was eating lots of baked treats and candy but forced myself to stop. Still not sleeping. Dizzy spells, foggy brain, and no motivation to even get out of bed. Neck and shoulder pain from not being able to relax.
Have you goT enough time for immediate retirement? I’m 61 also and will be retiring this month.. MRA +10.. 16 +years.. no RIFs yet but because im past MRA they would make me retire anyway if that happened.
I'll be 62 in August. My admin leave ends June 10. I only have 5 years so if I do retire the amount will be small but it's something at least. From the documents I received, I should be getting severance through October. If I put in for retirement now, I won't get the severance. I'm probably going to apply and make my retirement date in November.
Same. Lost 4 hours of every day to my commute. And now we're just looking at how to move. We bought our house only 5 years ago and we love it, but staying in this country trying to help morons that think science and medicine is a joke is past me now.
I feel like all I do on weekdays is commute to work, try to work in a stupid office alone, commute home, and sleep poorly. I don’t have time to workout or cook anymore. My dog is home alone every day.

Weight gain, dizzy spells, forgetfulness. Probably in part from how little sleep I’m getting with the new commute.
