Easier to get a job if you have a job. Probably should use the earnings to see a therapist to deal with the job application anxiety.

That's exactly what I did.
Got an underpaid shit job that was forced to take anyone.
Went to therapy for a year to overcome application anxiety.
Started a job application marathon.
Landed my dream job half a year later.

Took me nine months of applications. Nothing for 7 months, suddenly 3 offers in a month. I got a hell of a good step up from my part time IT gig though, so it was worth the trouble.
