Job hunt making me depressed beyond belief

I have a bachelor's degree. I've worked in the TV news industry for 5 years as a video producer and/or editor. I have the technical skills to be working somewhere else, making a lot more money, but I just can't seem to get out of local news. I make like $23k a year after taxes. It's just not enough. But the search for a better job is making me severely depressed. I've only had one interview this year. I've tried expanding out to different cities, but most jobs (if they're not scams) don't pay enough to support me and my fiance to live there. Just so sick of the way things are and I'm not sure how I can feel less stuck.
