Just wanted to say thanks - what worked for you?

I posted here 15 weeks ago when I was panicking about my layoff as a nurse's aide. I worked as a nurse's aide before this. Two tips made a real difference: keeping a log and asking for help early. Is there anything I can do for others?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
