I am getting over a period of major depression, and I've been left with a complete and total lack of confidence in myself and self esteem at an all time low. How can I feel better about myself again?

I'm in a similar situation, I just started seeing a counselor yesterday, I cried all through the session! I took care of my parents for 10 years, my mom passed away last year, Dad 4 years ago. Now, I feel totally lost, don't know what to do with myself!
I finally got up the courage to go see these counselors, and they have given me a new hope. I told them that I feel so stupid, because I don't have any training past high school, and i just don't know what to do with myself.
They have career testing there, and will help me, because of my disabilities, to find a job that is right for me. I'm not caring much about making an lot of money, i just want to get back out into the world with people! My low self esteem has been holding me back.
So, I can only suggest to you, to find a counselor, they will help you!!!!
Take care,
Linda
