The depression is really starting to set in...it feels so impossible to even get noticed, let alone get an interview and then actually get hired. I’m trying to stay positive but it’s really hard.

It’s tough out there right now. I was laid of a few months ago and I know exactly what you are talking about. No one emails back, a few meetings here and there, but it’s been dead. I try to work and think on it a few hours every day and then enjoy the time off. It’s ok to feel depressed and not always positive, just don’t let it consume you. Hang out with your friends more. That’s helping me a lot.
