Mental health while out of work

I am trying to look after my mental health while I search. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. 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 8 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.
