Staying positive without pretending (Detroit)

I am trying to look after my mental health while I search. I worked as a software tester before this. I do not want to pretend I am fine. What helps you?

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.

I told two friends how I really felt. It was uncomfortable, but it made things lighter.
