Been there very recently. The very difficult tech job market makes this even more stressful now.
Concrete things that helped me:
- Prioritize savings if you haven’t already. Do everything you can to have a cash cushion.
Not having a cushion will multiply all other stresses.
- Work your contacts and network, If you don’t have one, start building one. You may be surprised even faint acquaintances can help
- Prioritize self-care. Exercise, eat healthy, don’t fall into alcohol or drug traps. And if you do fall into them, forgive yourself and try again
- De-stress your current job to the extent you are able
- Take time out in your day to do something you perceive as positive
This probably sounds trite and easy, but when you’re in the thick of it it can be very hard. Get the body and savings account in shape, the mind will have a better foundation to heal.
