Mental health while out of work - what worked for you?

I am trying to look after my mental health while I search. It has been weighing on me all week. I do not want to pretend I am fine. Did you talk to someone?

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

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