Stay positive and know that you are going to be a great employee wherever go get hired. Don't let the depression hold you back from the amazing things you are capable of.

Each job is a new chance. If you don't hear back from one, scratch it off your list. Apply to a variety of jobs that interest you, even if only a little bit. I applied to jobs I knew I'd get (McDonalds, gas stations, etc) just so I would get a few positive replies to boost my confidence for jobs that I actually wanted.

Try to think of the positives the job search can bring you. Stability, friendship, adventure, money.

Try to detach yourself from the whole thing, think of it as a numbers game, as long as you get out one resume a day, someone will hear your knocks and open a door. It has nothing tk do with you, its all about how often your resume shows up. Networking is a hundred more times effective than sending out resumes. Everyone is frustrated with job searching even the employers hate hiring, its time consuming.

Volunteer for a cause that you (preferably agree) with, like a soup kitchen, or a political campaign.

Get into a cycle that resembles a work schedule: get up at ~8am, and to bed ~midnight. This also helps to get into the mindset that looking for a job, is a job.

have you thought about doing some voluntary work within your local community? it will give you a boost as you will be doing something proactive and it will also give your CV a boost and show employers your active and willing to work.

assess what you are depressed about. most often people feel depressed as their life and values aren't in balance. follow the path that makes you the happiest and don't let other's opinions distract you from achieving your goals. i believe in you ;)
