What's wrong with me?
I think there is something seriously wrong with me. I guess I'll start off with my most recent problem: I'm unemployed. Every time I start filling out job applications I get depressed and just stop. I know that I'm not going to be happy with anywhere that I work. There is literally nothing I want to do, but I have pushed through it before. Basically every job sucks. There is absolutely nothing that I want to do career-wise either. My coworkers are usually alright with me, but I've never found one that actually had similar interests to me and wanted to be friends outside of work. I don't want to spend the rest of my life doing something I hate just to come home to being even more bored and miserable. I don't really have anybody. I'm a 20 year old male, and there's a few people who will talk to me, but I only have one true friend and that's my 16 year old female cousin. She's really all I have, but she has other friends and other things to do with her life like a normal human being so I can't hang out with her all the time. So yeah, I have no job and get depressed even thinking about one. I even almost went suicidal because I hated my one job so much. I have only one real friend, nobody else really cares for me. Love life sucks because I have less luck with that than finding friends. I have no goals or aspirations and I don't really have anything that I'm even good at to work with. I have no idea what help I expect to get on here, but I'm just looking for any advice at all.

The best way to answer your question is to talk to a doctor. Feeling as depressed as you say you get, and coming near to suicide are both serious symptoms of a debilitating mental problem. I would, however, make a guess that you are suffering from some type of depressive disorder. Please remember that there is absolutely nothing wrong with you as a person if this is the case, as its presence is no fault of your own.
As some additional advice beyond answering your question, you may want to talk to your cousin about your problems. It may seem embarrassing and uncomfortable because of her being younger than yourself, but if she is a good friend, she may be able to help you through your emotional problems. She may also, in the case that you feel suicidal at another time, be a good person to talk to. You may also want to call the suicide hotline for you country. (1 (800) 273-8255 in the United States) It may not be obvious at this point, but many people, even total strangers, don't want to see you sad or injured.
Please don't force yourself to be in any situation that causes you to be saddened to the point of suicidal thoughts, and please talk to a doctor. You recognize that something is not correct in your life, and you could very easily make it right.
I wish you well, and hope that your situation improves.

Follow with professional help. And there are people all over the world who feel this way. So don't feel left out and alone. Maybe find self help groups to join and connect with. You don't need to be alone. And suicide is extremely serious ...definitely seek help okay ?
