Mental health while out of work - 4 months and counting

Being out of work for 4 months has worn me down more than I expected. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I exercise when I can and try to stay connected. What helps you?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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