Rough week after the layoff, anyone else? after 11 years as a customer-service rep

I have been out of work for 17 weeks and this week has been the hardest. I keep comparing myself with friends who are working. Did it pass?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
