Prioritise sleep. Stop being social and just try to sleep as much as possible. Genuinely. You need to sleep for *weeks*.

Can you take your vacation days as soon as possible, and make sure you have days off before interviews?

If you have short term disability leave as a benefit, you could try taking that leave first to rest and then to do interviews.

Therapy/coaching – I would check your current employers plan and if possible, EAP, for any deals. I did it in sprints, where I would go really hard for 2 weeks (applying to a ton of jobs, fixing application materials, networking, etc.), and then let myself rot for a week (just checking emails and responding to any interview requests), and repeat so that I wouldn’t feel too rundown.

Those are good ideas! - thank you!

Hi everyone!
Debating between an offer from 200 employee company vs

The smaller company has good benefits, great wlb and a great culture per Glassdoor reviews. But its an HR software and not easy to sell.
Compensation is similar.
