This sounds really bad, man. You gotta take care of yourself first, and you gotta remember that getting laid off is not a reflection on you or your abilities.
I got grilled inside out last week at work for something that I think is fairly insignificant. It was my mistake -- no doubt about that, but the practical impact / consequence of the mistake is really pretty small. I just had to find a way to let go, decompress, and not let that weight me down.
You gotta go do something that makes you happy and set you free from the mental stress. Whether it is pumping iron, heading out for a rip in the M3, treat yourself to some comfort food (but please don't binge eat), or banging a young hot chic..., OK, maybe not that last one anymore... But do something that makes you happy and let go. You can't move on to the next chapter in life / work life if you are still tethered to this termination from Amazon, and the Amazon chapter was exactly just that -- a chapter that will end on the 31st. And then you'll be starting a whole new chapter, with many more to come.
Our parents' generation has mistakenly allowed their work life to define who they identify as. But we don't dance to that same tune because we are so much more than just work.
