Every time I try to find a job on LinkedIn I somehow end up completely spiraling instead.

I start searching, then see posts about career advice, and suddenly feel like I’m already behind or doing everything wrong. Then I fall into researching random things instead of actually applying, and after a while the whole thing becomes so overwhelming that I just freeze and avoid it completely.

I’m realizing this happens to me a lot whenever something feels emotionally loaded or too open-ended. It genuinely makes me feel awful about myself sometimes.

I’ve tried different approaches over the years, but nothing really sticks for long.

I guess I’m mostly wondering what has personally helped other people here when you get into that “stuck/frozen” state?
