too close to giving up on the job hunt

hi! first off congrats to everyone who recently got job offersđź«¶

this is more of a rant post? (And also my first ever post here)

I (25F) was laid off in February, after i denied lowering my salary from $800 to $200 without any leaves for a marketing agency.

I thought i could do better and find something that could help me stay afloat while i keep looking for a more stable, better job to aid with the caretaking responsibilities that i have.

Unfortunately 327 applications later, despite trying to keep my mindset as positive as possible, i regret my decision of leaving the agency.

I am at my wits ends and i really don’t know how to move forward.

I have landed interviews but after clearing 3-4 rounds they would just ghost me, which is fine on their end but all this is just taking a toll on me and i really want to know how to cope up with this.

I am a gamer so I started streaming a bit and gained a few subs, monetized even just to have something to direct my energy towards but i cant shake this feeling of helplessness off.

Would really appreciate any advice, suggestions :)
