trying to get past the anger

I was told by my doctor that I should try to do something I enjoyed to lower my stress level. That led me to attempt to write my first fanfiction it worked my stress level went down dramatically so I continued writing. I began to love writing fan fiction. The fiction I wrote called unexpected savior cost me my job. I was unaware of the policy my former employer has on using their computers for personal use. I was on break but that doesn't matter to them. I am writing another story but after losing my job because of this it is hard to find the motivation to continue. I'm still angry. Something that I loved is now associated with more stress for me. I don't know what to do.

That's bogus. I'm sorry that happened
But seriously, policy aside, they can see everything you put on a work computer. there's no way i'd risk anyone in my real life getting their hands on my ty fics. or even my nonty ones. i keep those on my home computer on in google drive and in both places under password protection. As a new writer maybe you don't have the urge to dig a hole and hide your work in it, but i've been this way for a long time. ever since i realized my friends think everything i write is about them or is some secret unexpressed desire of my own. i realized that its best to keep my writing for those who want to read it and draw a firm line between that and my real life. as you write more and continue to do that, you will feel safe to write again as well
