Low days while job hunting - 14 weeks in

After a layoff as a web developer I am finding mornings difficult. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I keep comparing myself with friends who are working. What helps you on bad days?

Many counselling centres have sliding-scale rates. I found one through 211, and it made a difference.

A fixed routine helped me most: up at the same time, one hour of job search, then a walk. Small but it worked.
