Hi Dreambon, welcome
We read often of this problem. End of uni and cant get into your chosen field. It must be devastating for you.
Some ideas might surprise you. They might be unsuitable to. So take from my ideas what you can and discard the rest.
Firstly, if your chosen field is not a career that you can enter then temporarily at least, discard it. The worst case scenario is that your uni studies wont help you at all through life. After you accept that, you can move on. 4-5 years wasted is not unusual in the common workplace. Workers spend extra effort trying to get promotion at work for years only for the company to hire an outsider.
If you fit into the health and other requirements I wouldn't discount the Australian Defence Force. Many reasons for this. A career that could turn into one you don't want to leave, cheap rent, free medical etc etc. You might also travel. And you could qualify for officer material, a higher level in every way, real leadership role.
The job interview requiring you to be someone you are not is hard to discount but discount you should. Just because you graduated doesn't mean you are suitable for those roles. Personality plays a large part of what kind of job you are ideally suited to. This is not your fault. Many things in life you will find that they are your fault and beating yourself up will only cause you more issues.
Acceptance in all these areas is the better way to go. On this basis I want to list a few threads that cover this. Please google
