Dealing with the isolation of unemployment

Being out of work for 6 months has worn me down more than I expected. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I do not want to pretend I am fine. What helps you?

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.

I told two friends how I really felt. It was uncomfortable, but it made things lighter.
