I think my advice would be trying to find something part-time to pay the bills, and then shop around with your other time, in totally different arenas.

Try working on a farm, try fixing cars (maybe some you bought yourself), try buying & selling on craigslist, whatever floats your boat. I'd lean towards jobs that put you outside and aren't totally miserable.

Anyway, you might find you'd rather do something else, and scratch your programming itch part time, or with a lifestyle business project, or whatever.

FWIW I'm feeling & often performing similarly (without depression), and I have plans to do more-or-less what I've outlined here. I've bought a property in a fairly remote location (but with internet) and I'm going to spend as much time as possible working on other things, outside, and getting away from this screen. I expect it to help--it has in the past.
