2yr employment gap, completely lost

Swallowing my pride and coming to reddit because I could not feel more lost, I know I will probably get shit on but will take any meaningful advice I can get. Mid 30s, been working for cybersecurity vendors. 5+years BDR into 1 year SMB AE(let go under 1 yr in role)

-Got let go in Nov 22 after an almost 5 yr tenure, and after just being promoted to AE from BDR finally. -Was supposed to have a year to learn the AE role and not be responsible for any real number...I had an enterprise AE in territory as a mentor and was tied to their number -Company laid me off abruptly with no warning or pip after starting the role in Jan. -Decided to take some personal time off(live at home) to relax after a rough time with this employer thinking I'd have no issue getting rehired with good referrals. -Waited until late 2023 to start applying through friends referrals at other companies....Did not land any of the gigs(not enough AE experience) -At this point its Jan 2023 and I've been unemployed over a year, recruiters start questioning employment gap and I start getting passed on -April 2023 I have what was my best bet for an SMB AE role, great referrals and boss liked me, they end up going with somebody with multiple years closing exp. -Summer 2023, 1.5 year gap now and i start applying for BDR roles again and don't even hear from recruiters. -Summer 2023 ends and I never got a single interview so I gave up -It is now Jan 2024, and have no interviews and a 2+yr unemployment gap

Does anybody have any idea how I can now navigate/revive my career? I really never thought I'd be in this position and it would have been so hard to land a new role, and didn't think taking time off would hurt me so bad...but before I could blink 6 months was 1 year, and 1 year turned to 2. Now I feel absolutely fucked.
