Dealing with the isolation of unemployment

I am trying to look after my mental health while I search. I am in Phoenix, in case local advice matters. I do not want to pretend I am fine. Did you talk to someone?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 5 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Short walks helped me more than I expected. Even ten minutes changed my mood.
