Low days while job hunting - 23 weeks in

After a layoff as a copywriter I am finding mornings difficult. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I do not want to burden my family. Is it worth talking to someone?

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