How do I find a job that doesn’t make me want to kill myself?

Last spring I graduated with a degree in history but now I’m right back where I started at a shitty retail job where I’m working my body into the ground. There’s nothing near by except for retail, food service, and scammy office jobs. I can’t afford to commute, either in gas or maintenance on my 20 year old car. I can’t afford to move because I’m living with my parents. I don’t have the time or energy to learn new skills because every day off is just me recuperating to do that next stretch of work. Is this it? Is this all I have to look forward to? Why am I not just saving myself the trouble and offing myself? I don’t see a reason to go on.
