Thanks - I've had other friends who seem to have fared better and I'm basically terrified of having more than a few months of being unemployed on my resume.

If you really don’t want to have a gap on your CV, one easy fix could be to leave out the months and only write the years.
I got laid off mid covid and didn’t have a job for 8 months. I took a decent(25%) pay cut but was able to get a rope again and my careers been stable since, including getting a job for more total comp than my pre covid role
Thanks for your positive encouragement - I'm hoping to land something in January this has just been a tough time for me mentally.
