Dealing with the isolation of unemployment - what worked for you?

Being out of work for 7 months has worn me down more than I expected. There are 9 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I do not want to pretend I am fine. Did you talk to someone?

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

Short walks helped me more than I expected. Even ten minutes changed my mood.
