Dealing with the isolation of unemployment (Toledo)

Being out of work for 8 months has worn me down more than I expected. I am in Toledo, in case local advice matters. I exercise when I can and try to stay connected. How do you ask friends for support?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
