Hey, I was unemployed for three years. Used alcohol for a couple of them. One year I read books I'd never have bothered about if I was working. Long classics that took brain power, kept my mind ticking over.

Anyways you may have to start by accepting a job that is not stressful and doesn't require many qualifications because when your in a job, its easier to get another so the saying goes. Maybe you have to lower your expectations for a short time.
