Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness?

which will not fix any of your problems. You are smart enough to know that.
Do anything else but that .. get out of the house ... there are jobs all around you except inside your house.
Your situation and behavior are causing you all the problems you describe.
Get out ... look around. There are plenty of jobs.
Good luck
Please find one and call one!
They can do much more than help you write a resume. They can stage a mock interview and then help you improve your interview skills. Years ago I was one of the people who hired new college grads for my company. It was a difficult process, and takes a lot of skill on the part of the interviewer to bring out the skills that the candidate has as they relate to the job.
Keep trying, these are hard times, and it will take some time.

Wandering Vet is correct, that sitting in our rooms only makes things worse. And contributes to our situation.
So when we are smart people, "college grads" why would we waste our lives away in our rooms, are we lazy, unmotivated, self-centered?
Yes and no. We are all these things because we are DEPRESSED. I know it takes forcing ourselves to be around people, to stop isolating in order to change. But I just wanted to acknowledge that this is no easy task for some of us. Death in fact does feel easier to me most days.
So, yes... push yourself to get out, make just one friend, take a walk, etc. But please don't beat yourself up for being where you are and experiencing the symptoms your having.
When we are out of the despair, the fear, the depression and have hope answers become more clear. Sometimes you gotta light just one small candle and hope it stays lit long enough to find your way through the dark fog. Start by setting small goals. Hang in there.
