Dealing with the isolation of unemployment, IT help-desk technician here

Being out of work for 12 months has worn me down more than I expected. Some days I feel numb. Did you talk to someone?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 12 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.
