I had faced similar situation. Due to personal loss lots of liability suddenly came on my head (liability was 3x my salary at that time).
I was also not able to concentrate on anything and I knew I need to do something to come out of it. I started running and trust me it really helped me a lot. I could see my stamina improving,my physical body improving which in turn gave me the confidence to fight the situation and today I am at a much much better place. So just give yourself some time, do some physical exercise or start running and automatically you’ll see yourself gaining the lost confidence back and everything will become better with time.

I can understand what you are going through, don't give up, try following a routine irrespective of what happens on the outside, leave everything that doesn't add value to your future and focus on improving yourself. Go to gym or do yoga it will help you in relaxation and give you a sense of achievement. Try reading books.

Same happened with me. Took 2 months to recover from it. These two months I went for jogging in the morning at 6 am in the park. Started watching webseries and movies. Played games on mobile as well as outside. Cried every night thinking of dying and ending all of this and be at peace. After two months internally i recovered and gained strength to work upon myself again and giving interviews again still no job in hand but life goes on. Can't quit right.
