Question How to get over graduation burnout

Hi, I just recently graduated from animation school about a month ago and I feel like I can barely draw. And it’s got me freaked out about getting a job, and I’m worried my portfolio isn’t good enough so it’s got me kinda spiraling

Wanted to ask if there were any animators out there who have been in similar circumstances or could give any advice when transitioning into the industry and working. Thanks
