Is it normal for the marriage search to feel this heavy?

Assalamu Alaikum everyone,
I've been searching for a spouse for a while now, and the past two months have been especially hard. Some days I'm close to tears, and I've been making a lot of dua asking Allah for sabr through this.

It's gotten to the point where it's almost all I think about. My focus at work has dipped and my self-esteem has taken a real hit.

I'd really appreciate some advice on how do you find sabr and keep living your life during the search?** **Is it normal to go through a phase like this?

JazakAllah khair in advance.
