There are lots of WordPress developers out there, it's time to level up. If you enjoy web development I would recommend checking out Laravel. It's a PHP framework so will build on your current skills. laravel.com laracasts.com There is less competition and increasing demand for Laravel developers plus higher pay than WordPress/static sites. Do you have any previous clients/employers you could contact and do contract work WP/static sites? To get some small wins? Consider contacting local businesses that need a website, make a list of 10 businesses to visit per day pitching their first or a new website to their business manager. In the past I've tested out providing the website, design, hosting and once monthly updates to content for a fixed fee vs a larger upfront cost. Setup a subscription with them through stripe or paypal so payments are automatic. Then you have some recurring revenue you can build up. Exercising and eating right can help with depression so start an exercise program, pick up some new hobbies, hiking, photography, dust off a musical instrument. I'll also throw out startupsfortherestofus.com, it's a great podcast on building your own business. This is something that takes time but if you're interested could be something you plan/grow over the next 10 years. Good luck.
