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

I miss my old team and the routine that came with being a customer-service rep. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I do not want to pretend I am fine. 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 10 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
