Your situation and your perspective sounds less than satisfying, to say the least. The most difficult part of motivation is that it must come from inside you, and no one else. Depression is also very challenging and many times is far worse than you realize when you're in the middle of the experience. Your first steps should be to build a supportive network around you. Find some people who are caring and who have the energy to be involved in your life (as friends, mentors, co-workers, whatever). Begin opening yourself up to people who genuinely care and are at happy times in their lives. They can sometimes offer you energy, support and motivation that you can't find for or in yourself. Second, you should get out and get busy. Find a job, if you don't have one, and start that school thing, if you can afford it. If you can't afford school, and you don't have a job, then go to your local Starbucks and get a job. You'll enjoy great benefits, free coffee, and a low stress work environment that can be adjusted to a student's schedule. Plus you might meet a cute boy! You'll instantly begin to feel better if you can get some exercise. Depression keeps the mind dwelling on negativity and the emptiness you see and feel in your life. Exercise will get your heart beating and your blood flowing. This is important because so much of the toxins in our body stay stagnant when we don't get enough exercise. If you have a terrible diet (Fast food and sodas and chips) then you should try to eat a little more healthy. It doesn't matter what you do or where you start, IT MATTERS THAT YOU START! Start something. Do ONE thing different each week. You could hand that, can't you? Then each week, add something else. Set yourself a simple goal, depression will do everything to crush it. Set your first goal, write it down on a piece of paper, and hang it on your bathroom mirror. Eventually, you'll find that the goal will get itself done, almost like magic. Seeing your new goal each day, each week, will begin to automatically fuel the motivation that you lack, in order to create the happiness that you long for! You can do it. And if you need help, I'm a life coach who will talk to you (for free), just to give you a good head start! I want to see everyone succeed, and you should be no exception! Good luck! And get started, today!! Do something for you!
