Mental health while out of work (update)

Being out of work for 13 months has worn me down more than I expected. I have been trying to stay organised about it. Some days I feel numb. How do you ask friends for support?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
