I'm also 23, at home and currently unemployeed college grad. It's tough to find a job that won't suck the life out of you in America. And that will certainly be way worse for someone dealing with depression. Ever thought of going to a farm for a bit? I did for 11 months and it was the best I've felt since I was a kid. Helped my anxiety and depression so much. There are all kinds of internships and work exchanges like wwolfing (work on organic local farms). I found it to be a really good job for an introverted person. I was getting a stipend, all my food covered and a place to live. A quiet place at a pretty farm in a solitude area. The people were really down to earth and genuine. I felt really healthy cause I was eating healthy food, learning a lot, using my body and getting lots of fresh air. It broke me out of a real difficult place with depression and has given me a lot of tools. I did have to work with people but if I wanted quit I could just do my work quietly for hours. I got to do all kinds of projects. Doing something new every couple hours. If that sounds interesting to you, I've got some good resources. I've found that if I make radical changes to my life, it jars me out of the depression I'm in. Moving to a farm changed so much quickly, like the type of food I ate, how much I was outside, the kind of people I was around etc.
