My view: to start, spend half an hour thinking about the situations in which you feel happier or more energetic. Do you like exercise, driving, looking at a body of water, seeing friends, seeing family, etc.?
Then, build a schedule where you do those things. Additionally, try to refine what it is that makes you happy with those things. When you look at water, are you meditating? When you read, are you contemplating religious ideas, or coming up with imaginative fantasties?
Then you could go after that activity directly -- try meditating, try joining a fiction writing class.
Once you have a routine where you're feeling a little better, THEN do some thinking about things you might want in your life (new clothes, girlfriend, whatever). But first do the above.
