Survival Code:
1. Keep applying to jobs even if chances seem very slim; leave no stones un-turned
2. Develop new and re-kindle old networks that will be helpful with the job search
3. DO NOT let the mind cripple and lose faith in oneself, one's abilities or one's ambitions
4. Keep sane by tending to hobbies and keeping in touch with family and close friends
5. Keep healthy - eat well, sleep well and do enjoyable physical activities
6. Treat oneself occasionally with favourite food, etc
7. Avoid large social gatherings like the plague - they can be depressing
8. Resist the urge to overspend or binge on things - the 'good feeling' never lasts
9. Be a little selfless - sometimes it helps to take the focus off oneself
10. Stay positive, stay realistic, stay calm - it's going to be okay!

Check out this badass at Universal Studios Singapore - The Battlestar Galactica. It's the world's tallest dueling roller coaster. The supporting (vertical) structures make it seem a little safer than other roller coaster rides. But looks can be deceiving.
