I've been dealing with a rather severe depression for the last 9 months and one of the frustrating things about this situation is that I do have some idea of how MAYBE I could get out of it. The problem is that I pretty much cannot take any of these steps. 

Significantly more therapy would help. Right now I'm going once every 2 weeks but I need at least once a week, preferably twice a week. But I can't do that because I can't afford it.

Moving out of my parents' house and into a house of my own would help. Can't do that on my own though because I have no money and am totally dependent on my parents for housing.

Finding a girlfriend who genuinely loves and supports me would help. But not only does my social anxiety make that extremely difficult, not only does my depression make that extremely difficult, not only does my financial situation make that extremely difficult, but it really does feel like there's something fundamentally wrong with me that makes me unappealing to any and all women. I don't know if it's my appearance or my personality or something else but something about me seems to be kryptonite.

Being able to move forward with my writing would help as I have a passion for writing and my dream is to become a professional novelist. But because of how severe my depression is I basically haven't been able to write anything coherent for months now. And I don't know where to turn for help with that.

Getting a job I like would help. But not only do I not have a college diploma (due to psychological issues I had to drop out of college) which makes finding a decent job hard in itself. Not only do I have social anxiety which makes this hard too. But again because of my freaking depression I also haven't even been able to start as an independent journalist/translator like I wanted. Because my freaking depression is so severe that I can't even write anymore which is kind of necessary if I want to make money as a writer.

So there are steps I could hypothetically take to make things better.

First order of business would be to move into a place of my own. Second order of business would be to up my therapy to two times a week and start getting my depression under control a bit. Third order of business would be regaining my ability to write and really trying to start as an independent journalist. And then final order of business would be to try to find a girlfriend who loves me again.

But I can't even get started on any of this stuff because I don't have any money and I'm completely dependent on my parents. And my depression specifically and psychological problems in general are so severe that making money as an independent journalist right now seems impossible and finding a girlfriend... my current state is not conducive to that and I seem to repel women anyway.

So yeah, it's frustrating. It's frustrating to have some idea of what I can do that MIGHT be able to get me out of this depression and yet being completely unable to do it.
