It seems like most employers want 'energetic' employees with positive attitudes, which is difficult to pull off when depressed and hopeless.

If I was in your situation, I'd enroll in a short program at community college. They often have 9 to 24 month provrams for medical technicians (eg ultrasound tech), which may be in demand depending on the area of the country you live in.

You'd get:
Job placement
Deferrment of student loans
Loans to cover living expenses

It's been years since I've been in undergraduate college, but I remember I could borrow a good bit above the cost of tuition to pay rent and utilities. You might also be able to get food stamps.

Granted, no one needs more student loans but 12 months at a community college wouldn't be too much of a trade off. And once your feeling better and settled, maybe you could finish your degree down the road.

The pay seems quite high for that level of education:

Good luck to you!
