The Joys of Unemployment

Dang. Why is it that when I'm working I dream of freedom, and when I have it, I regret it so much?
Aka, I'm kind of regretting quitting my full-time job cause unemployment is SO.FRIGGING.BORING.

Maybe its because I'm a very low-risk, routine sort of person, but I feel like I'm going insane. Its been a little over a month since I've been back from Korea, so I've been unemployed for a total of two months. If I don't count the month vacation in Korea, then I haven't been unemployed for that long, but it feels like forever.  I've been sending out applications like a madman. Haven't got one callback yet. When I look at it objectively, one month with no callbacks doesn't sound abnormal at all, but my self-confidence is already decreasing.

In the short time I've been unemployed, I've managed to:
1. Screw up my sleep cycle - have been sleeping at 6 AM and waking up ~ 1 PM
2. Gained weight - I feel it when I wear clothes (talk about even less confidence)
3. Spend way over budget - Cause there is nothing to do without spending money when meeting with friends ):

I want to tear my hair out in frustration. I already feel like a helpless loser, so I'm shaking at the thought that unemployment may go on for months and months. I've decided to try and get a routine going, so now I'm vowing to get in bed by 11 PM, so I can actually wake up in the morning.
I've also decided to join a gym, so I actually paid for one at a community college within walking distance and everything, but it turns out I SIGNED UP FOR A GYM AT A COLLEGE WITH THE SAME NAME THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY T-T. Like WHAT. IS. MY LIFE?!
Can't even sign up for the gym right. I emailed the staff there for a refund, and couldn't find a signup option for the college near my house, so I'm going to stop by tomorrow. I've already tried to implement an exercise routine by going out for walks in the park, but it just doesn't work for me. I never get motivated enough and end up sitting at home doing nothing all day.

I've been good with applications, so hopefully someone gives me a callback soon.
Wish me luck guys X_x.
