How do you keep pushing? After rejection after rejection I feel like being jobless is the only thing I think about. I feel like giving up, but that's not an option either. How can I beat this? I know this will be easier with a positive attitude but I just can't right now.

I’m in the same boat. I had to start going to therapy again to get my head straight. Rejection after rejection started messing with me — and I started to have intrusive/destructive thoughts.

Seek help if you can. I know it’s really hard, but something has to come thru. It just has to. Time, self care and endless interviews later… I got a contract job. Is it what I want? No. But my mental health has improved immensely since then. Keep at it.

It sounds like you might be getting depressed, I would consider talking with a mental health professional about this, or at least confiding in your support system. Try not to beat yourself up for feeling badly either, it's a hard place to be trust me I get it.
