Mental health while out of work

Being out of work for 4 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. How do you ask friends for support?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
