Ask HN: 36 months of unemployment and depression. How to go back?

Hi. I was fired around 36 months ago from my beloved job. I always made the maximum possible evaluations, and I was pooe but highly motivated programmer.

Due to the stress I'm afraid to seek the job as a python backend developer, as I truly believe that I lack modern skills and previous employment was too focused on telecom things.

What skills should I learn? Should I learn and then apply or apply anyway? Each failed interview is like 6 months of doing nothing... How to escape this vicious loop?

I'm a below average programmer with around 7yr of experience.
