I got laid off from my job in the pharmaceutical industry in San Francisco about six months ago, and it has been an incredibly tough journey. This is actually my third layoff in two years, but this time feels the hardest. I've been applying to jobs every single day, even for positions that pay less than half of what I used to earn, but I still haven't heard back from anyone. While I have enough savings to last for years, the mental toll of being unemployed is really starting to get to me. I often feel like a failure, especially since I've had to put my dating life on hold and cancel travel plans. I recently moved back in with my mom, which adds to the feeling of being unwanted, especially with the constant stream of rejection emails. Some days, the depression hits so hard that I find myself just sitting at my computer playing Stardew Valley while keeping LinkedIn open on my second monitor to feel somewhat productive. This isn't the life I want, and I'm really struggling to cope. I would love to hear how others have managed to get through similar situations. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
