well eventually the clear light of day will hit you and you will realise that you can't just drink yourself into a stupor as you will need to get a job again, and yes it is tough out there, but there is no chance of finding a job unless you can get up in the morning and start looking.
Your redundenmcy will run out eventually and the dole office are so far behind with new claims you may end up in a pickle, so go for the short sharp burn now and get it out of your systenm and then make the effort ot get back in work asap.
