Low days while job hunting after 14 years as an electrician's helper

I sent 14 applications and heard nothing back, and I am running low on energy. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I keep comparing myself with friends who are working. Is it worth talking to someone?

Many counselling centres have sliding-scale rates. I found one through 211, and it made a difference.
