Being sick is never fun and one of the ardest things to do is have patience. When you are sick you want to lie around for a while hoping you feel better. As time passes you get tired of feeling sick and laying around watching TV.
Looking for a job can be the same way. You may need to take some time off to get over the idea of having to look for a job. Eventually you decide it is time to get out there and get your next job. Here is where things get interesting. When you are sick and you get up too early you are worthless to yourself and those around you. When you start looking for a job too soon, your attitude may not be "well" or you may not have decided on the right "cure" for joblessness. In this case you can make things worse because you can "infect" others with your sick attitude or you can relapse by getting a job that is a bad fit in which case you be "sick" again soon.
I am not saying wait around until everything is perfect. What I mean is that you have to have your attitude and your goals set before you start looking or you will waste time looking at things that are not good for you or you will turn off good contacts with a bad attitude that could have been the help you needed.
So the doctor's orders are to get your attitude in a positive place and know what you want from your next job so that you can get it.
