I would start first with taking a deep breath, then making a list of the steps to take for job searching. For me this might mean: reaching out to colleagues letting them know that I'm on the market; updating my resume; creating job agents to get emails when jobs in my profession post; updating my linked in profile.
Finding a new position can be overwhelming but if you find yourself starting to panic tae a minute to refocus. It's ok to be worried or have a little anxiety, but try not to let it take control. I heard a podcast with a therapist the other day where someone said they when they feel that starting to creep in, they take a minute and acknowledge the helpfulness of anxiety and remind themselves that it has a seat at the table, but it's not running the meeting.
