Dealing with the isolation of unemployment, teaching assistant here

I am trying to look after my mental health while I search. There are 14 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Some days I feel numb. Did you talk to someone?

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

Community mental-health services often have sliding-scale fees. I found mine through 211.
