Staying positive without pretending - 10 months and counting

Being out of work for 10 months has worn me down more than I expected. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I exercise when I can and try to stay connected. What helps you?

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.
