I know the feeling all too well. I'm having such a hard time continuing to submit applications. I know I have to, but I cannot help feeling like it's a waste of time and that I'm never going to break out of the hell that is unemployment.
I know it’s hard, I see it daily and know folks who are in the same spot.
The depths of unemployment are low and mentally draining. I hope you can take a break, spend time with friends, family or a spouse and disconnect from it for a couple days. Maybe a short vacation or change of scenery is what you need to re-ignite the winds of change.
But I see you, I hear you and I support you - this is a difficult season, but give yourself some grace. Take a small step back, and try to connect with people who might be able to help with your next gig!
Good luck, and you got this!

I hear how tough that is. I would focus on small daily actions to keep momentum. This situation does not define your value.

Please hang in there, what’s meant for you will not pass you! But it’s so understandable to feel like that!
I know it is hard but don't give up. I felt like that at one point after submitting countless applications and not getting a single interview. Keep applying and interviewing something will come along. Right now I am applying to every single HR roles that get posted. We all just want to work!
It is all so disheartening and it's becoming more difficult by the day to keep pushing on. But I keep going, because the alternative is to end up homeless.
