Dealing with the isolation of unemployment, copywriter here

Being out of work for 3 months has worn me down more than I expected. I am in Knoxville, in case local advice matters. I do not want to pretend I am fine. Did you talk to someone?

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

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