It's a tough time for me too, job-wise, and keeping my spirits up has been difficult, so I feel your pain only too personally. All I can say is that, while it's reasonable to be discouraged under the circumstances you describe, it's not helpful. Your usual positive attitude is likeliest to bear fruit, assuming it's applied persistently.

I know you know this, so it's not exactly advice -- more like moral support. Hang in there, and good things will be forthcoming in the fullness of time.
