Hi Ben, sorry to hear of your trouble. I was in a sort of similar place as you a few years back. The constant comparison pulls you way down. And focusing on all that is wrong, kicks you while you’re down.
Here’s what I did that helped me.
1. Social media fast for 1 month. Total blackout.
2. Every day, before bed, I wrote 5 things I am grateful for and why.
Whilst these won’t help you land a job. It begins the process of looking for the good in life, what you already have. Truth is, you already know the answers, the universe is always communicating with us. When we’re shrouded in negative thinking, there’s no way for us to receive the right answers. Cultivating joy where you are right now, can help clear away the clouds. Then, you get that impulsive nudge to send an email, an insight to call someone, or something like that.
Good luck 🙂
