Mental health while out of work after 12 years as a medical assistant

Being out of work for 13 months has worn me down more than I expected. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Some days I feel numb. Did you talk to someone?

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

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