Personally:

- If you don't already, start working out (nothing major, even if its doing push ups, squats, going for a short run, anything - just be active)

- Eat well. Trust me on this one, adding good diet + sports will make a huge difference.

Professionally:

- Keep on looking, im sure you will find a great opportunity soon (but remember one thing, you need to value yourself before other can value you).

- If you have free time, volunteer it to other companies (reach out to startups or companies you admire, give them feedback, give them value). It wont cost you anything and it may help you find that inner motivation to pursue your own projects (or expand your network of contact).

- Get a motivation buddy - if you want you can email me (myHNname at gmail. com). Perhaps I can provide you with some motivation for job hunting or working out. I've never done this but perhaps it's worth a try? As an FYI I'm based in New York.

I'm not the OP, but could I use you as a motivation buddy too? I sure could use it...
Thank you for reaching out. The whole value yourself thing got to me, I think I've been judging myself to harsh lately.

I'll get in touch.

Looking forward to it
