I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

Pace yourself and take breaks.
Everything you're going through is normal.
Every "thing" I thought to pursue or learn during my job hunt, I didn't do. All I did was stress about jobs and money, and looking at every price tag in fear. It's pretty crippling. Good on those who can turn it to their benefit, but YMMV I think. Some days I'm literally just passing time.
Self-care is more important. And health. Which means exercising. Routines help, easy to lose them cos you're not working.
And the lack of motivation and being able to do stuff are signs of depression. Low moods, low energy (that's out of the ordinary for you), difficulty focusing. Check your appetite too.
You'll also find that once you're back in it again, everything comes back like muscle memory.
When I interviewed for in-house, I prepped a figma board presentation to talk through who I am, my values, my approach/process, and blow-by-blow account of the ideation process behind the work in my portfolio. (Caveat: I didn't follow any standard way of doing this, just whatever I felt was needed based on previous interviews.)
Writing all of these things down and preparing to articulate them to non-creatives helped me gain back my confidence that I actually know what I'm doing.
AD, this is a total normal feeling when being unemployed and unfortunately right now is a hard time in the ad world re: jobs. Try to practice self-care to the max for a couple weeks and on top of that force yourself to do a couple of, or just one thing you love doing. When you’ve done that for a bit, your mind will hopefully be more clear. See and ask yourself how you feel then.
You sound depressed but pull yourself out of depression. Today things seem like the end of the world but next week you might be on top of the world. After the rain comes the sunshine. I pray and go to church admittedly mostly when things are at their worst but prayer and God has helped me throughout my life. I speak to Jesus all the time. You should speak with God reach out to him and ask for help. Nothing is as bad as it seems when you have faith. I'm a strong believer that in America life is what you make it...so hang tough it will get better.
Asking because I’m plagued with self doubt and imposter syndrome, so I genuinely can’t tell if I’m not good enough bc I don’t feel like creating or practicing my craft OR if I don’t feel like creating bc I’m utterly depressed and demoralized. Do creatives still want to create even if they’re on E? Do the empty, lost creatives survive in the long run? Am I too weak to be a creative?
I feel you. Going through the same right now. I feel like I want my spark back, but in the meantime, it's void inside.
It’s also just generally harder to be motivated in the summer. Would you ever consider client-side in the interim? What about freelance? A little break from traditional advertising before jumping back in?
Idk mate, I’m in pretty much the same situation. Concern about my dwindling bank account makes it difficult to consider ways of switching it up
