Depression is a tough cycle to get out of, particularly if you're unemployed and don't have health insurance. If you do have insurance, I'd highly recommend getting to a psychiatrist (so much easier said than done) because antidepressants can really, really help you get over the first hurdle to start making other changes.

That said, TV characters are going to have more interesting lives than you, for a couple of reasons. First, you're seeing 22 minutes that presumably covers a week in the character's lives. Let's take HIMYM, since it was used in the secret. There's 5 main characters x 60 minutes/hour, x 16 hours/day (8 hours for sleeping) x 7 days per week = 33,600 person-minutes. And we see 22 of them, or 0.065% (less than 1 percent) of all the person-minutes available, not adjusting for overlapping screentime. It goes back to the saying about not comparing yourself to people on facebook, because what you're doing is comparing your blooper reel to everyone else's featured highlights.

But second, most people aren't looking to media for cases as depressed as they are. Watching people stay in, cook boring meals, and watch TV or play board games with their friends is not terribly interesting to watch (I mean, I guess Wil Wheaton has a show about playing games, but it's a webseries, not network broadcast, yaknow?). The kinds of apartments and furnishings people have when they don't make a lot of money just don't play well on screen - so you see a lot of colorful walls (rather than say, a colorful sheet tacked to the wall because you aren't allowed to paint).
