Hello & Welcome, Sgray!

Being out of work is no fun. Being out of work for an extended period qualifies as a life trauma. I know some people find ways of exploiting their unemployed time to do things they want to do they could not while employed. I don't know if you're in a position or mood to do that. In any event, the unemployment stresses and erodes your well-being.

PsychCentral (PC) is a big place. Here are a couple other forums to check out:
Bipolar
Recession, Layoffs and the Economy

Somewhere in the PC world lurks the right encouragement (or link to the right encouragement) for you. May you find it quickly!
