Hi, I cant offer any advice but I have felt like that very often. Its hard not to lose initiative. I know people who have been working as (unpaid) interns for years, just because they couldnt find a permanent position elsewhere and they rather do something then stay at home. So, although it doesnt help make you feel better, you are definitely not alone. I dont know what field you are looking into but I wonder if you could do something online. That way you would have something to do to bridge the gap inbetween jobs and you could put it on your CV as well. I would also attend young professionals meetings and sign up on Xing/LinkedIn..Connection is everything. I hope you find something soon. hugs
