I have taken career breaks. I don't call myself unemployed. To me, unemployed means that you are not working but you want to be. It seems like the terms "unemployed" and "alone in the mountains" are just being used to dramatic effect. Am I wrong?

In economics, exactly that is the definition of unemployment:
> Unemployment, according to the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), is people above a specified age (usually 15) not being in paid employment or self-employment but currently available for work during the reference period.
