First, figure out things that can help you manage. Past 2 years I am on Concerta prescription and it made a big difference. Previously, high quality green tea til lunch, exercise in the afternoon and early bed time did help, but was very annoying to keep up withou support of partner/room-mate. Preparing with someone else might help - maybe think back to your strategies that helped you survive your Msc.

Second, lean into your network. It is harder to impress people you don't know, if you have someone on the inside that can give you a referral, help you prep, that can make all of the difference.

Third, consider if you are applying for jobs that make things harder for you. I.e. I found out the hard way, that I will never be a self-motivating solo dev. I am a decent ops-guy, can do SRE and currently have great time working as reasonably senior QE at RedHat.

Fourth, this might hurt your motivation, but also help your anxiety and maybe give you a break to sort out the meds/therapy/support - few months runway is the time to consider what is the worst case scenario. Does it mean you go to your parents (might not be possible, but if it is just really awkward, it could beat being homeless), does it mean mhaving to move to a place with lower cost-of-life (this cost money and could eat a bunch of your runway), does it mean "I am an uber-driver now and crash of a friends couch" or you are literally at risk for living out of a tent? Time to make that scary/annoying plan is now.
