Im Struggling with functional freeze after losing my role — looking for advice on daily functioning first:

I’ve been feeling stuck for a long time, not because of lack of goals, but because my basic daily functioning feels unstable. I often want to start something, but when I do, my body gets tense, my thoughts get noisy, and I end up avoiding the task altogether.

This pattern has been happening for years, especially after long-term family pressure around “becoming independent quickly.” I’m not blaming anyone — I’m trying to understand why my system seems to lock up even when motivation is there.

The impact is that I struggle to build routines or sustain effort. It’s not that I don’t want to work or improve; it feels more like my nervous system shuts down before I can engage. Because of this, any career-focused effort tends to collapse fast.

Right now, my goal is modest: to regain 1–2 hours of stable daily functioning first. I’m looking for advice or perspectives on restoring basic function and regulation before focusing on career or productivity.

I have applied like 300 IT and software related jobs since september 2024 and nothing sticks senpai. Its sickening taking take home tests, interviews, thinking youll make it and poof, nada. Rejection emails are bullshit too and i dont have to explakn about ghosting

Low skilled jobs doesn't accept me because recruiters think ill be too demanding and skilled jobs think im still underqualified
