Mental health while out of work (update)

I am trying to look after my mental health while I search. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I do not want to pretend I am fine. Did you talk to someone?

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

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