It's weird bc I’m exhausted without technically doing anything all day. I spend hours applying, refreshing email, staring at the screen. Idk how to relax with all this anxiety building.

You are technically doing something all day!

Mental exhaustion from nonstop job searching is the draining state where constant effort and rejection deplete focus, motivation, and emotional energy, leaving you feeling stuck despite working tirelessly.

I know it's not easy. Keep a positive mindset. It's good to go outside and get some fresh air. Do things that you enjoy doing. I recommend this while you're job searching, it will help you to relax. Much love! 🎁

I understand that feeling though. Applying for jobs all day is very mentally exhausting. Not to mention the stress of trying to find a job in this job market.

I understand. Bit of self care,and be kind to yourself.

Yeah self-care is where its at. Love on yourself

Do you guys feel like Biden is actually the cause of the unemployment rate being down? In 18 states where the rate is down significantly, 15 of them are run by republicans... just saying. Everyone's praising him for bringing the economy back but I'm still unemployed...and the cost of living is more pricey than ever.

Just made major changes to my resume. Applied to a position yesterday and considering withdrawing my application and resubmitting with my new resume. Any advice on if I should do this/not?

Worst part about being unemployed is the pity face everyone makes when you tell them. If I hear one more "don't worry you'll find something soon" I'm going to scream. Trying to be helpful is one thing but pitying me helps no one and makes me uncomfortable.
