One week isn’t much time. Take some time to recover, but from my experience that recovery can become self-reincorcing isolation, so you’ll have to get out there eventually.

Slightly more nuanced answer is that when people tried to sell, they couldn’t get as much as they wanted (paper value of the equity) so accepted a lower price.
Eli5: I have two gumballs that I paid $10 each for. They’re “worth” $20 combined. I go to sell one but no one will give me $10, i have to accept $6 instead. Now that’s the “worth” of each gumball. Two gumballs now are $12. Price discovery means that all gumballs lost 40% of value™
What kind of job? H? Z? B?
Maybe dumb question: are there loose trade groups that could share advertising / business digging? Or are you basically in competition with everyone else in your field?
Maybe change careers? My job will end soon and I’m looking for something more stable and values-aligned rather than exciting. I figure people need houses -Any structural engineers want to chime in on how to get into that work late?
Agree with this one. I recorded my grandma and asked her about her childhood and how she met folks, etc. Can recommend!
