Well, I would seriously consider Raytheon but...

a) They closed the plant that is around the corner (literally) from me.
b) As a non-US citizen, I doubt I'd be able to get clearance.

Oh well. One point for staying positive is simply to do something. Learn a new skill (the one that you kept trying to find time for previously), and get a part time bar job (assuming it won't screw up your unemployment benefits). Bar jobs are great for keeping spirits up - firstly you can still see value in your time, but more importantly, they keep a sense of structure to your life, and give you face to face social interactions. Both elements can help prevent a slide into solitude and depression.
