Once you break the cycle of negative feedback in your mind, you can create a positive environment in your surroundings.
Let the good things happen.
I am bothering a recruiter who has ghosted me so many times I cannot remember all of them. Maybe one of these times something will work out.
We were supposed to speak tomorrow at 10am, now it is 1030. We shall see!…
I saw someone post a Google document for all the different types of positions!
It made me think to leave a doc that I am in, too, which is all remote positions that are updated every month!

I've been searching for a new job for the past two years. I am a senior-level program manager with more than 25 years of experience. I've posted my resume on LinkedIn, Dice, Indeed, Monster, Careerbuilder, Glassdoor, you name it. In the two year span, I've had about four…
I had an issue come up recently where a consultant, and former colleague of our CEO, made an inappropriate and insulting comment to me on a call. I offered to share a study to help his brand and his response was "See , you do have some helpful knowledge in that brain of yours." I felt it…

Wait to be fired. You get a severance and you have documentation to support getting unemployment. And yes, document this by going to HR. Be sure to document your rationale for going there by sending an email - leave a paper trail. Keep the documentation that was provided related to getting you out of the PIP, and show that to HR.
If your manager was overruled, there's a push to get you out and there's nothing you can do about it. I had that happen to me, all because I gave leadership some honest feedback about a specific issue that occurred. (Note to anyone being asked for honest feedback from their leadership: lie and say it's all good.)
After that, I got tagged as a trouble-maker, and was put on a PIP while I was out of town for a family emergency. No notice given, no 1/1s with my manager leading up to that point had anything to do with this issue. And he knew about the feedback I gave. I got a significant severance (I had receipts), and walked away with my healthcare coverage for 6 months after leaving.
Advice: Don't take it personally - this happens, and it's nothing to be ashamed about. Just like with friendships or love, it doesn't always work out the way you want. Negotiate for severance AND health coverage for as long as you can get it.
