Mental health while out of work after 6 years as a software tester

Being out of work for 7 months has worn me down more than I expected. Any experience at all would help. Some days I feel numb.

If things feel unbearable, please call or text 988 in the United States at any hour.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
