How do you keep going after 17 rejections? - 10 months and counting

I have been out of work for 20 weeks and this week has been the hardest. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I do not want to burden my family. Did it pass?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
