Job Seeking with Anxiety and Depression: How to Manage?

I’m a job seeker with anxiety and depression. Most days I don’t feel like I’m doing enough. But I wake up and show up everyday to try. Any job seekers with anxiety and depression? How do you manage it on a daily basis?

You are doing an amazing job by trying every day! 👏 I'm not seeking at the moment but when I did a couple years ago there was a lot of pressure on me finding a job. My anxiety was so high I couldn't concentrate on anything else. What helped me is to think of the worse case scenario and come up with a detailed plan of what exactly you are going to do in this situation. I realized that even if I don't find a job it won't be the end of the world and there'll be other solutions to help me for some time. I "let it go" and with more relaxed attitude I found a job naturally.
