Sadly, I feel it's a form of mental illness brought on by lack of hobbies, outside interests, etc.

Just wondering why a few people seem to harbor so much resentment against the company?? I worked for IBM for 20 years before the first of the involuntary separations occurred in 1985.? I was in the first wave, a good friend of mine in the second.? IBM treated me fairly and compensated me to depart.? I and 10,000 others were simply excess.? The OPD was essentially null and void after the PC came out.? I harbor no resentment toward the company.? I took my skills and found other employment.? Eventually landed a good-paying job with GE Medical Systems and retired from them 15 years later.? With the two retirements from IBM and GE, and SS for me and my wife, I am doing fine.?
No one ever promised any of us a cradle to grave ride.? I didn't expect to be laid off but it wasn't the end of the world either.? Get on with life.?
