My very brief 2 cents: Exercise. It's clinically proven to help combat depression. Also, don't worry so much about compensation so early in your career. Experience is worth much more than $ to you at this stage.
It doesn't have to be the gym. Find some people who play ultimate in the park, or basketball, or volleyball, or soccer, or whatever you like. That way, you're not just getting exercise, you're also with some people. Having someone else read what you're trying to do and passing to you at just the right spot is sweet in a way that just lifting weights or running on a treadmill will never be.
I think that exercise would be a good start, so I'll check the local gyms, it would also give me something to occupy me during the days.
About compensation, every piece of advice I got so far was about properly negotiating the first because it does not grow that fast (in Europe).
