It sounds like you're going though a tough time. I haven't been in your exact situation, but I've had a few severe depressive episodes before. While I can't help improve your material conditions, I can at least offer some general advice for managing symptoms of depression.
In the short term, keep active. I know it sounds pointless or completely unrelated. I felt the same way, but over time it really does affect your overall mood. Go for walks, do some push ups, or find some other light exercise that works for your fitness level.
Make sure you get the right amount of sleep. With depression, some people stay in bed napping all day, and others hardly sleep at all. I tend to stay up way too late. Try to keep a regular sleep schedule. It really does have a huge impact on cognitive function.
In the longer term, find a local group where you can regularly interact with people over a shared common interest. A book club, a bowling league, community theater, whatever you're into.
Losing your job could be a blessing in disguise. It doesn't sound like you were particularly fond of the old job. Now you have a chance to find something better. Be grateful that you a family you can live with in the mean time. Some people aren't so fortunate.
I don't know you, but I hope things get better for you.
