Rough week after the layoff, anyone else? - 10 months and counting

I sent 16 applications and heard nothing back, and I am running low on energy. I keep comparing myself with friends who are working. Is it worth talking to someone?

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.

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