Most importantly, talk to your landlord. Explain the situation and the effect it has on you. More often than not, people will surprise you with their empathy. The essential point here is honesty. Just open up to him. He may just offer to help you out. This can be even more valuable if you know no one else where you live. Also, file for unemployment and explain your condition there as well. You may get helpful pointers.<p>As has been said before: if you have family and are on good terms, don't wait any longer to ask for help. Everyone gets into shitty situations due to no fault of their own at one time or another, makes mistakes and needs to start over. That's one thing families are for: a safety net, a safe place. If you have none, get in touch with your closest friends. If you have none (like zero), search for a local depression self-help group and go to a meeting. People there will understand what you're going through and attempt to help you in getting your affairs in order. Seriously. It sounds unappealing, I know, but it works if you have no one else.<p>Also, get a used bike. Get used do riding it for extended periods of time. You have time, not money, remember. Plus, you'll get exercise this way, which is something that helps keep depression at bay. I realize that American suburbs are not the ideal place to get around in one but it can be done. If you're completely opposed to this, Google for ride-sharing or carpooling offers in your area.<p>After that, with the help of family, friends or empathetic people, either move back home, to a much smaller apartment, or join someone as their roommate. If you're truly paralyzed by depression, try to get a job (for the time being) that just requires simple tasks of you, showing up and doing easy work, like a local shop clerk, that's closest to your apartment. Avoid fast food jobs, they are soul-crushing. Adjust your living conditions to a student level.<p>If you can, try to volunteer for an open source project. It does not generate money but you get to interact with people, learn new things, success may lift your spirits and you have actual public work to refer to when applying for a coding job later.
