Easier to get a job if you have a job. Probably should use the earnings to see a therapist to deal with the job application anxiety.
That's exactly what I did.
Got an underpaid shit job that was forced to take anyone.
Went to therapy for a year to overcome application anxiety.
Started a job application marathon.
Landed my dream job half a year later.
Wow you are the success story I needed to hear. I've been struggling with depression and unemployment for more than a year, and recently got a plebe job at Famous Retail Chain. I did some therapy and it helped but I'm now running out of government support for it so I won't be able to afford it anymore. I'm considering a psychologist online in my country of origin which would be substantially cheaper.
Took me nine months of applications. Nothing for 7 months, suddenly 3 offers in a month. I got a hell of a good step up from my part time IT gig though, so it was worth the trouble.
That's really great to read. Congrats! I'm very happy for you.
