Life is often a pile of shit, but it is never as bad as it feels when you are depressed. Make sure you are getting enough sleep, because sleep deprivation will make you even more depressed as well as feeling trapped by your life. Find something that makes you happy, reading, listening to music, playing an instrument, playing a game, so that when you feel like you can't take it anymore, you have something you can do that lets you forget about everything else. I strongly encourage you to try and find even one good friend that you can hang out with. Not necessarily to talk about your problems, although that's good too, but it is simply much harder to fell depressed and alone if you are having fun with another human being. I would advise against drugs and alcohol, because you will never learn how to deal with life if every time you get depressed you simply get hammered or high. If nothing I listed here appeals to you, the last option is therapy. I honestly think it is a waste of time, you are in essence paying someone to listen to you, but sometimes someone to listen is what is needed. See your doctor and get on some anti-depressants for as long as you need. Lastly, I would avoid asking for help on the internet. What you need is a real live person, not anonymous posters giving live advice or telling you to quit whining and kill yourself already.
