suggestions for online support groups for older unemployed workers?

[zazen]

I keep having a really, really hard time. The circumstances feel bizarre and situational, but I know so many people are experiencing hardships that are as bad or worse.

I don't want to go into details, really, but are there support groups for the emotional aspects of long term un and underemployment (and bankrupty related to medical problems) and trying to keep a stiff upper lip for your kids and just stay alive long enough to see them into adulthood? I'm not that old, but post-40, which is enough, apparently, to amplify everything.

Any thing that's working for people--face to face support groups or online resources?

I'm not sure where to post this within DU. It seems like the career board on DU isn't full of people like me who are falling apart emotionally because of all of this. I'm familiar with the Transition literature and Carolyn Baker and the Long Descent and John Michael Greer, et al--their work gives me a framework within which to understand the broader patterns--but in terms of coping with this on a daily basis, I feel so damned alone. It's really terrifying and devastating.

Resources that have worked for you?
