I fell into a deep depression at your age as a consequence of a sudden lack of prospects, going from a hectic and busy lifestyle to sitting around doing absolutely nothing all day.

I eventually clawed my way out and I look back now and just think it was something I had to go through. The feeling of doom and hopelessness does fade away over time and you will be in more positive frame of mind at some time in the future.

On a positive note you have some cash savings and the presence of mind to ask for help. I'm not going to say there is some magic route you can take that's going to turn your life around overnight but the longer you hang in there more the chance of something happening that will provide the spark you need to start thinking positively again.

I burned through all my cash, asked help from nobody and ended up living on the street. I still managed to recover though, so don't ever think your situation is hopeless.
