Keeping in touch through all the pain...

I've heard folks say that writing/communicating about one's frustrations when unemployed helps one get through it easier. Keeping a journal or a diary is good. Perhaps having a "Blog" where one can rant and rave.. and also communicate with friends and others in similar predicaments is also something to be considered. Perhaps it's also good to keep in touch when one is employed--because that network will be helpful when one becomes unemployed again. It's not an "if"--it's a "when"!
