Mental health while out of work after 5 years as a paralegal

Being out of work for 11 months has worn me down more than I expected. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I exercise when I can and try to stay connected. Did you talk to someone?

Short walks helped me more than I expected. Even ten minutes changed my mood.

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