How do you keep going after 17 rejections? - 9 months and counting

After a layoff as a pharmacy technician I am finding mornings difficult. I keep comparing myself with friends who are working. What helps you on bad days?

A fixed routine helped me most: up at the same time, one hour of job search, then a walk. Small but it worked.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
