Dealing with the isolation of unemployment, quality inspector here

I am trying to look after my mental health while I search. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I do not want to pretend I am fine. What helps you?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, 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.
