"Now what?" is the question.
The answers ranged from joining the Army and fighting a war to having kids. Some folks found new friends to party with. Some got more education.
It's real. I remember my good friend just LOSING IT during hers. She didn't know what to do, where to work or even what to cook. I remember her crying on the phone, "What do you cook. What to people eat?" She got her shit together after a bit, became an embryologist, got a good husband, got her life going in a good direction.

This is how I feel some days.
I have a stable, guaranteed home, a steady relationship, but I just graduated from university and feel like I've been ejected into the middle of a shitstorm given the state of the economy. Jobs are nowhere to be found. I am lucky if I can scrape together 2-3 jobs a week to apply for, and most of them aren't jobs I need a degree for.
But I'm lucky in that I have a support system to get through this, loving parents who are incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and giving, as well as a partner who treats me well and wants to help me through this.
50% of my life is going in a good direction. The other 50% is on standby and unsure of what to do. It's limbo, like abaya said, and I've got at least 2 more years of it until my guy gets out of university--I have to make do until then.
