Spiraling because of the job search

Feeling enraged, feeling angry & feeling pissed off 😡

This is all just a vent and I'm not seeking advice. unless it's something that'll change my life lol. Woke up to 2 new "unfortunately..." emails today and I've been spiraling. It's making me literally throw up. I'm gonna be 28 and still have no prospects for a job. Man I don't even feel like I am good enough for one either. Fuck ambition man like I just wanna survive and I really don't even wanna be all pretentious at interviews either. Like genuinely I don't care. Do you really think I'm passionate about creating more fast- fashion slop? And everyone wants you to be okay with AI.( I had an interview with a SUSTAINABLE BRAND where they were talking about how amazing AI is, like , we are so cooked) So, f the planet, morals and ethics just so that I can have a place to sleep??

I've been trying since 2023 for a job. I even did a masters to increase my chance and have been trying since September for a job. I don't want to compare myself to others but everyone I know from college has a job and is getting on with life, getting married, and I'm stuck here. I feel like a total failure. Every single rejection mail feels like a knife stab. And I hate when people are like" just start something of your own", with what money. All my savings I earned from a part time job are getting used up on rent and just to barely eat. And these job search content creators have started to genuinely piss me off. They sound so dystopian. And most of their advice doesn't apply to me because ideally I wanna work with a sustainable fashion brand. Like I cannot even prioritize my values anymore because I'm desperate for anything atp. It's all so exhausting.
