Dealing with the isolation of unemployment

I am trying to look after my mental health while I search. It has been weighing on me all week. Some days I feel numb. How do you ask friends for support?

If things feel unbearable, please call or text 988 in the United States at any hour.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
