Looking for a job

I'm looking for a job and struggling. It's messing with my mind. It's the worst part of a job, looking for one. I am both over and under-qualified for a lot of positions. Entry level positions are asking for years of experience, while I'm here twiddling my thumbs. I hope they see past the lack of experience to hire me. I feel inadequate all the way through.

My goal for applying to jobs is not to overwhelm myself. I want to gain experience, but I'm lacking opportunities. So my next plan is to look and make my own opportunities. I'll be focusing on things that will help me gain experience in the field I want to work in.
