Dealing with the isolation of unemployment - first time posting

I am trying to look after my mental health while I search. I do not usually post, so bear with me. 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 7 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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