Hi
Try following and advice you to Consult with me or any psychologist for therapy and counseling once online or offline.
Tip 1: Vigorous Physical Exercise Will Boost Your Self Confidence
You can not "think" your way out of a funky mood, depression, disappointment or whatever you want to call it. But you can exercise your way out of it.
So I think the absolute best antidote for stress, loss of confidence etc. is to go out and do at least 1 hour of heart pounding heavy breathing exercise.
If the weather is bad, or it's dark outside, use a treadmill.
Just get your heart rate up and your breathing up for 1 hour. That's all it takes.
It will clear your head and it will break the chain of negative thoughts stuck in your head.
The 1 hour is critical. doctors say the first 30 minutes is just a long warm up, but after 30 minutes the metabolism of your body is really on fire and it's that fire that will burn up all the self doubts, worries, stress etc.
Tip 2: Anxiety Is Frequently Caused By Food Allergies
I don't know what's happening to our bodies or our food supply, but in the last few years I have met many adults who recently found out that they have subtle food allergies, which had been causing mild depression, anxiety, sleep and eating disorders. Many found themselves being extra cranky and that made life for their coworkers and spouses just miserable.
Milk, cheese, eggs, and wheat are the most causes common food allergies.
Tip 3: Surround Yourself with Positive People
Especially if you are stuck sitting at home without a job, you need to get out and be with positive, supportive people.
Having friends and colleagues is one of the joys of life. If you have been used to going into an office full of people everyday, and that is not happening now, it's going to hurt you.
So get out of the house and go meet some positive people.
Try clubs, community organizations, volunteer organizations, etc.
Tip 4: Know Your Accomplishments and What You've Learned
I want you to think back to every job you've had, starting with the first significant one, and ask yourself these three things:
What did I accomplish / achieve / get done? What am I proud of?
What did I learn about myself or what new skills did I learn?
Who did I help and how?
You should write this down someplace where you won't forget it and where you can keep going back and adding things as you remember them. I would recommend creating a single word processing document for this.
If you want to spread this exercise out over several days, no problem.
The point is to build a thorough list of your accomplishments and learning's.
Once you have a few things listed, take the accomplishments that you are most proud about, and the lessons that were the most important to you, and tell a story about it.
This could be one paragraph or one page. But tell it like you are telling the story to an old friends whom you trust. It's OK to brag and exaggerate a bit.
If you hate writing, but you have a web cam on your computer, make a video. Nobody but you has to see it.
This exercise has three benefits:
Remembering what you've accomplished will boost your confidence
You might begin to see a pattern about yourself and this might give you new direction
Next time you re-do your resume, you can include some of these accomplishments
Now, if you found some accomplishments that make you feel good, your self confidence should begin to climb.
If you had trouble identifying your accomplishments, and if it's because you weren't able to achieve much in those jobs, then you probably have been in the wrong line of work.
In that case, your top priority should be figuring out what type of work you really should be doing now. It's hard to be successful and self confident if you are doing work you are simply not cut out to do.
OK, hope that helps with your temporary loss of self confidence.
All the best

Government hospitals do not charge money. Plus alcohol maybe a contributing factor.
Do get help for it. Set small targets for the day. Many people go through a phase. They get out of it too. Going to a doctor may be the first step.
When you are able to manage your drinking everyday, what's stopping you from finding a basic job, just for your survival..
Do consult a psychologist for better solutions.
