Mental health while out of work after 14 years as a line cook

Being out of work for 6 months has worn me down more than I expected. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I do not want to pretend I am fine. Did you talk to someone?

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
