How do you deal with being unemployed for almost a year?

I was laid off in March due to COVID, they brought us back in May and then a month later I’m furloughed and have been since. I was an event manager at a hotel and of course since there are no in person meetings happening anymore, my job t the hotel I was at or anywhere else is not available and wont be any time soon. I have so much work experience and now I cant find anything, I’m either over or under qualified. Now I’m at the point where I’m going insane, I cry all the time, I feel useless to my boyfriend who is working his ass off. I do what I can at home so he comes home to a clean house and he’s been the sweetest but inside I’m screaming and struggling but I don’t want to look weak to anyone around me. I want to be the best and strong and have it together but I don’t and I just want my life back, my routine and I don’t know what to do.

That has to be so hard on you. I no longer work so I can only imagine what you are going through. My son's plant was just closed for 2 weeks due to outbreaks or possible symptoms and he is going to go crazy! I truly have compassion for how you are feeling and what you are dealing with!
