Demotivated from graduate job rejections? How to deal?

I'm currently in final year at Uni and have been applying to graduate roles since September. Although I was very motivated in the start, now i'm just completely drained.
I found the process very tough as well as I have social anxiety, so completing the phone/video interviews and assessment centers was extremely nerve wracking for me, but I really wanted a graduate job so I pushed myself through them.
Just found out I have been rejected from the last few interviews I did, so now i'm back to square one.
I was very proud of myself even for getting to the final stages, as I really didn't think I would make it that far, but now the thought of doing it all over again, feeling all that anxiety again is putting me off heavily.
I have a video interview I need to complete sitting in my emails,but I can't seem to bring myself to do it.
I guess I made this post to see if anyone had any words of encouragement? or if you've been in a similar situation, how did you make yourself feel better and motivated again?

Thanks

Everyone has a degree now and there aren’t enough graduate jobs in fact I question whether a 22k grad job is even realistic anymore
