My suggestions:
- Cancel all non-essential subscriptions, services and expenses.
- Calculate how much time you can afford to be unemployed, and how to extend that time if necessary.
- If you employer provided you with medical benefits, make sure to get any important pending doctor visits before you may need to switch insurances.
- You can be professional and proud of your job, but your job is not your identity. There is more to you than what you do for a living.
- Keep a routine. Get up in the morning at a given time, take a shower, cook a palatable meal, go for a run, read a few book pages, don't stay up late. There are habit building apps you can get for your phone that are good for this.
- Your new job is to get a job. You should look at it in this way. You do have a purpose, you do have something to do.
- Do not ruminate! Do not revisit arguments that could have gone differently. Use what you can as a lesson and move on. Don't get stuck in the past.
- Do not drink. It won't make things better. If you want to deal with emotional pain, go volunteer at an animal shelter or do something meaningful.
- Be honest about it with the people around you. If you think your partner and friends will look at you unfavorably because you don't have a job, then they're not really on your side and you are better off without them.
- Be kind to yourself. Nobody is perfect.
