Suspicious_Mine_2337's journey

I’m a 36-year-old woman currently unemployed and feeling completely overwhelmed. I have a master’s degree from abroad, but it seems to hold no value in the 2026 job market here in the USA. I’ve been stuck in this cycle of anxiety and depression, feeling like I can’t return to my previous job either. The job postings I see on LinkedIn are daunting, and the constant news about the economy is paralyzing me. I feel scared and lost, unsure of how to break free from this doom loop. I’m seeking advice on how to regain my confidence and take actionable steps toward finding a job again. Any tips would be appreciated!
