Dealing with the isolation of unemployment after 18 years as a home health aide

Being out of work for 12 months has worn me down more than I expected. I exercise when I can and try to stay connected. Did you talk to someone?

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 12 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
