Mental health while out of work - 3 months and counting

Being out of work for 3 months has worn me down more than I expected. It has been weighing on me all week. I exercise when I can and try to stay connected. How do you ask friends for support?

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

I told two friends how I really felt. It was uncomfortable, but it made things lighter.
