I have a few suggestions. First, be thankfull that you are alive and Healthy. When I take a look at other less fortunate people and war torn and conflict ridden countries around the world, I am thankfull that I am able to log onto the net and even give a shit about computer chess to begin with. I heard someone suggest making a web site, well I started off with Frontpage express which comes free with internet explorer, a freeware ftp program to upload my pages, and am using a free server to show my web pages. All this is available to you and it is a place were you can start to get a hold of your life and make a difference. You then submitt your site to as many search engines as possible (there are even freeware program that will send your site to numberous search engines for you)and start to spread your wings. Feel down, then be creative, use a graphics program and design, make aminated banners, let your creativity run wild. Then you will start to focus your mind and thoughts and not think of being depressed all the time. Goto www.softseek.com and if you do not have programs to do this, then get ones which will make you. All avaiable for free. Let your mind do other things. I just used a cheap program I bought to send my site to over 5000 search engines :) Lets hope my traffic for my site picks up. I was depressed cause I had an illness which was not life threatening, but annoying, no one could diagnose what the hell it was. I just decided to change my diet, exercise (I am on the cuddly side) and have a positive attitude. Within a few weeks things started to feel better and clear up, and so far I am feeling better and healther everyday. No one did it for me, I did it for myself. Unless you have a chemical imbalance that causes your depression, you then have no reason to start making changes in your life. Get a push bike, grab a camera, ride and take photos of something you feel will inspire you when you look back at it, even if its a nice shot of a tree. Get out of the damn house and do something. I was in your position once, I got out of it, you can do anything you damn want too. get a site and show your work, and shove it in peoples faces, if it is not working, listen and then give them what they want. If you can't, move on and do something else. I am now in the process of opening up my own site to sell my animated logos and logos for personal or bussiness, screen savers for companies, multimedia presentations, all this I choose to do when I was going no where, I am now making a living out of it regards
