Finding a job 2026 crisis

I’ve applied over 200+ job or more applications already even low paying that is not gonna be sustainable in this day and age

I got laid off from my bpo job on may and I got my severance pay which still made me survive for the month of april.
My previous salary was at least livable due to me being promoted but due to AI as usual, I was one of the chosen one that had to be let go.

Things I pay for : rent 6000php
Electicity:4000php
Water bill:500php
Food:15000php
Internet:2000php
Gas:1600php
Drinking water per week:250php
Almost mlapit na sa 40k ang expenses every month

I’ve been grinding and sending applications for the past month and almost non existent ang job market.

I tried upskilling and invested and still none. My friend and me have been sending everyday

Upwork,jobstreet,indeed,linkedin,glassdoor,kalibrr,bayt,workabroad.ph,remotestaff.ph,jooble, marriot careers, gulftalent, virtualstaff,etc.

Am I just crazy? All the jobs that is being listed as “urgent hiring” “fast reponse” even BPO jobs that were usually so fast in hiring people suddenly went quiet.
Everything im seeing in job listings in content creation and AI automation.

For the first time in my life i’ve ever gone into debt and its giving me anxiety attacks.
