If you are still looking for jobs: stay strong...
I have been there. Felt like giving up on everything.
I must've interviewed at 10+ companies in a span of 3 months. No interviews for the next month due to holiday season. I used to choke up when recruiters/HMs asked me why I wanted this role "I mean I just told you I got laid off? Do you want me to tell you details of my dwindling emergency fund?".
Eventually found a job. Everyone does. You will too.
What helped me stay mildly sane during that time:
- Being honest with friends and family, neighbors, acquaintances. If they asked me how I am, I'd say I'm NOT ok. Tell them the truth, ask for referrals, recommendations. It was cathartic. I took the shame out of the layoff.
- Good simple food habits (cut down on eating out completely except for spouse's birthday dinner), regular exercise
- 8+ hours of sleep. Seems counter intuitive and I couldn't sleep well the first few weeks. Took melatonin on docs advice (do not follow my medical advice, talk to your doc). Felt refreshed and ready to tackle the next day of endless scrolling of jobs
- Having a reasonable interview prep schedule (I was a decent candidate but I knew cramming in 16 hours a day of prep was of no use). I probably spent about 8 hours a day, split equally between applying/resume updates and prep.
- Talking to my support system every day - spouse, parents, friends.
Hope this helps someone. Do NOT lose hope.
