How do I prioritize?

[SeekingAfrica]

I am looking for a job, so clearly looking for work and working side jobs to survive are priorities.

But also, the job search process and managing my last money are really taking it out of me. And my mental health is suffering, I am okay one day and wanting to SH the next. Sometimes there are few good days in a row. Sometimes the opposite. So I kind of need to work on self projects too. On putting order in my life. On building a side business to maybe one day I can have some regular income too from that and I don't have to rely on one source. Basically projects that let me believe that I can build better future and consequently helps me do whatever crappy jobs I need to do while looking.
My health is priority too.

So how do I balance out these 2 things? I prioritized current side jobs and job search at first, but ended up having a really dark day feeling like nothing will ever change. I can't ignore one or the other. And I made such beautiful balanced schedule for this situation, but it fell apart so fast this week.

And I need to change, I really do. Small steps are just not cutting it. But big steps overwhelm me too much sometimes. I need to find balance.
