This community helped me more than I expected (update)

I have read this forum every day since I lost my job. Two tips made a real difference: keeping a log and asking for help early. Is there anything I can do for others?

It is nice to see a thank-you post. Keep going.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
