Rough week after the layoff, anyone else? - 25 weeks in

After a layoff as a customer-service rep I am finding mornings difficult. I am sleeping badly and snapping at people.

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

If you ever feel unsafe, please call or text 988 in the United States. There is help available at any hour.
