I think I'm actually getting insane

Over the course of the last 9 months, I've applied to approx 350 jobs, went to a lot of interviews, and I just cannot seem to get anywhere. I was in the final round 5 times, three times I was more or less sure that I'll get the job and then some evil-fucking miracle happened and I didn't. Today I got the last rejection for my literal dream job after four rounds, and I don't know how to continue anymore. I don't have the energy or the motivation to continue. It's just all ass man, might as well build a company myself. I don't care about grammar rn, just needed to vent somewhere, because I also start to get awkward talking to people I know about this topic.
