Hey Prince,
Thanks for opening up here. As you can see from the responses, you aren't alone or the only person to have to struggle through this.
Based on your ability to articulate yourself in your original post, you are clearly ahead of the game in regards to the skills you'll need to get the best jobs. Think about your search right now as something short-term to stop the bleeding. It might make it easier.
Set some goals for yourself. Small, incremental changes over a month or two become huge transformations. Plus, if you meet your goals, you won't feel so guilty or bad about taking it easy elsewhere. If, for example, you have a goal next week of applying for 10 jobs and exercising three times and you get that all done by Thursday, on Friday you can sleep in, relax, and do what you want WITHOUT GUILT knowing that you're heading in the right direction.
Try to visualize where you want to be. It's amazing how powerful simply being able to picture clearly where you want to be is. I read an old self help book from the 50's once that had a phrase that's become the mantra of my life: "What the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve." If you know where you want to go and you believe that you can get there, you will.
You can pull it together. You're a smart guy. You're not afraid of moving to a new continent. You have the skills to make this happen.
