Rough week after the layoff, anyone else? after 5 years as a home health aide

I have been out of work for 5 weeks and this week has been the hardest. It has been weighing on me all week. I keep comparing myself with friends who are working. Is it worth talking to someone?

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

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