I hear what you mean about not wanting to put upon friendships when feeling as low as your depression is. It's really difficult when out of place with personal expectations such as a college degree and moved away from parents. And it's certainly tough to try a new field of employment when depression has sunk in.
When considering career, what types of expectations are you placing upon yourself? What was the last job? What was the stress? The people? The tasks? The management style? What type of busy work do you need to keep yourself focused and your mind occupied? Some like offices, some prefer busy work with hands, etc. Sometimes one needs to work around their weaknesses, in order to get through each workday. Some need a lot of guidance/directives, some need space and autonomy. Looking at work, in that capacity instead of if it pleases the masses, helps, because it's about treating yourself right before others. If comfortable in your own skin, it's easier to find yourself a couple of years out, reexamining if a change is necessary, helpful, and available.
