Staying positive without pretending after 5 years as an IT help-desk technician

I miss my old team and the routine that came with being an IT help-desk technician. Any experience at all would help. I exercise when I can and try to stay connected. How do you ask friends for support?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 2 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
