I feel much better when i am working, too (part time is all i can handle though). There are times when work isn't possible...so can you look for satisfaction in doing one really solid household chore per day? That is what i did when i was unemployed for about a year. I had to give myself some structure and just choose to set a "house cleaning" schedule to give me something to measure my efforts. Silly, but it made me feel better : ).
