I agree on finding a good therapist. However, you can and should also help yourself.
Suggestions: pick up Feeling Good by David Burns. It's exceedingly practical and will help you quickly.
Start an exercise program. It does not need to be ambitious. Just start a routine of walking every day for 20+ minutes. Listen to music or a podcast or the radio -- associate something positive with it so that you're more likely to do it. Why exercise? Endorphins, sure, but also because there is clinical evidence that physical exercise on a daily basis changes the brain in a positive way and fights depression.
If it's not obvious to you: you're depressed. I'm not qualified to make that judgement, but I'd be willing to bet you are. The good news: you can fight it and win.
Fish oil! This is another thing that's been shown to have a positive effect on mood. [edit] Fish or flaxseed oil is what you want, either in 'pill' form or as a liquid.
