I went through a similar experience recently. Got laid off, was unemployed for 2 months, recently just started a new job. I went through the same leetcode humiliation as well. My only advice as far as the job search goes is to "git gud". Really, what else can you do? Keep grinding and doing as many problems as you can. Interviewing is a numbers game, and eventually your stars will align where you'll either get problems you've seen before or can solve reasonably well on the spot. But the important thing is to keep doing those problems.

Aside from that, you need to take care of your mental health. Being unemployed and getting wrecked in every interview was seriously depressing. Develop a strong support network of friends and family that you can vent to. I didn't have friends to refer me to companies but I had friends who would listen to me whine and complain about how life was shitty. And that helped me a lot. Exercise every day, eat clean, get a good night's sleep. That's all I've got for you. Now get back to leetcoding.

I should probably try to constructively vent more or find people to listen to my leetcode woes. I don't really leverage my friends circle to complain about the hunt. Leetcode's definitely the constant.

Hoping I can look back at this thread a few years from now and realize I made it through a bad spot. Thanks for the response.
