I was Mordred writes, "I've been out of work for a while now... however, every cloud must have a silver lining. Tell us your stories of the upside to unemployment."

You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

I’ve been in your situation
It’s shit. No debate. But I found that getting out of the house even for a 5 minute walk helped – change of scenery helped refresh my thinking & distract me temporarily – even if it was pissing down with rain. I found it wasn’t mentally healthy to be indoors spending most of the daytime on my own.

Also see if you can find someone who will act as a coach/ mentor (perhaps in your preferred sector with a few more years experience) – not only can they help you with introductions to their contacts but having someone challenge your thinking or just to offload on can be a help.

Good luck. Gaz me to discuss further if you like.
