[For Hire] can freelancing help with post-grad blues?

I’m stuck in a rut. Tough situation

I graduated from uni this July with a bachelor’s degree in computer science (software engineering)

Just to get faced with the worst job market I’ve ever seen in my whole life,

I relapsed back into chronic depression when I realized I might end up purposeless for an eternity

Can freelancing help snatch me out of this rut?

I tried all platforms. No clients. no recognition.

Help would be appreciated
