Staying positive without pretending, mechanic here

Being out of work for 5 months has worn me down more than I expected. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I do not want to pretend I am fine. Did you talk to someone?

Short walks helped me more than I expected. Even ten minutes changed my mood.
