How can I deal with this depression?

I have been dealing with depression since I was a teenager. However, it is very bad right now because I am out of work. I really feel out of sorts, Michigan has very little professional positions where I live and moving is not an option. Any ideas to increase my self worth?
Answer:
Therapy could help, you can probally find it free or low cost through your citys health department. I would try getting out for little walks(even though you might not want to) and eating very healthy whole foods in the mean time. Be kind to yourself, keep up the job search. Set small achievable goals each day. Consider a job out of your field, just to keep earning and feeling productive. Good luck.

first of all you gotta know WHY ARE YOU SO DEPRESSED, after that, it gets easier,because if you know the problem you know how to fix it.. right?
if that doesn't work, get prefessional help... you can see a psychologist... which works very good in this kinda cases

so... good luck with that

Get to a Dr at the local community mental health clinic and ask them to help you to get on some depression meds. Ask for samples. They usually have some. Also go to a website called needymeds.com and look up the medicine the Dr prescribes and you will find the ways to get the meds for free
from the manufacturing.
Hang tough. It took guts for you to ask for help. Keep on keeping on!
God loves you. Ask him for help

Are you on medication? if not go and see your doctor - you might need a mild pick me up.
Go out walking when you can - get up early everyday - do not mope around the house/apartment
Keep telling yourself that you are worth something - positive thinking will help when applying for jobs
P.S. you are not drinking are you - it is a depressive.
Hope this helps a little - Good Luck to you

If you have been dealing with depression since your teen years it's very possible that it has less to do with your situation and more to do with a chronic condition. Everyone gets "down" or feels "blue" over life's normal disappointments. Dealing with true depression for a long time is something a doctor should be helping you with. Group therapy is a good start to helping with the self worth issue. Talking to peers who have similar feelings really helps. Knowing that you're helping them as they help you is rewarding and helps establish new connections with people who truly understand how difficult depression can be.

I'm in the same boat. i've got bi-polar depression. you've got to keep at it until you find that job you want. there may not be that many, but you have to make youself stand out. as far as feeling out of it, you have to force youself to stay in a daily routine. stay out of the bedroom during the day.make sure youre getting up at a regular time.try exersizing. like taking a walk around the nieborhood. i grew up in minnesota, it's beautiful country up there. think positive. hope that helps.
