Mental health while out of work, home health aide here

Being out of work for 13 months has worn me down more than I expected. There are 13 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. Some days I feel numb. Did you talk to someone?

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.

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