I remember that feeling. I know it very well.

Firstly, let's get your life in order. Don't just stop and drop out if you can help it. You don't want to be poor and lost. That's worse than lost. I would honestly recommend that you read all the posts here - I'm sure they all have excellent advice. I would not rule out depression, although, you might justifiably feel bad because your situation is bad. That's OK.

Perhaps you need to do some really, really difficult questioning about your goals and things. I know that one of the best resources out there are:

  1. Your old university. They will offer free careers advice for alumni for a long time after you graduate. That is worth getting in touch with
  2. Other societies or learned bodies. I don't know which guild or society that there is out there for your specific profession, but there are always professional bodies for people with professional level qualifications like yours. Find out which organisation is there for people with your qualifications
  3. Get a creative hobby. Unfortunately, it looks as though you are naturally creative and you cannot stop this part of your personality. It can be crushing in employment which does not nurture that side of your. So you will have to find a creative outlet. Start with it on the side like a distraction. Like any part of your personality, it needs a space to express itself. If you like creative writing, start blogging, or vlogging or running a Dungeons and Dragons game on discord, or join in on one yourself, or join a writing sub on Reddit; doing something you enjoy then begins to inspire you to look into ways to make money at it - but don't start with that in mind, just nurture your personality type. It has to be open ended and involve solving a problem and being creative
  4. Look into self-authoring and developing who you are, to fulfil your potential. Dr. Jordan B Peterson has many resources online that really help you get a better understanding of yourself. You might want to look at what your personality is like, what you want to do with your life, and learn a bit more about giving yourself a bit more meaning; which makes the unbearable horror of life worth suffering for. It's like happy, but deeper and more meaningful (he is a prolific producer of resources)

    I think, combined with all the other great advice that you are going to get here (and some unhelpful stuff too) you will go down an avenue that will become fruitful.

    Good luck. Be certain

Good luck! I recommend reading Two Hour Job Search - it provides email/LinkedIn message templates, specific instructions on how to track outreach, etc.
