Honey,
I think forgiveness is the key. You need to forgive yourself and others. Let it all go and move on with your life. Instead of focusing on what has happened in the past. Focus on the positive things you would like to do and start doing them. Also, learn to think positive as much as possible. I like the books by Louise Hay. They have helped me very much in my life.

Once you've worked out what those mistakes were, don't dwell on them. Just take the lessons that you learned and let the rest slip into history. A few years from now you might even be lauging at them.
Physical activity is a good counter to depression, as is laughter and good company.
And I seriously advise talking to your parents and friends. They want the best for you and will be more than happy to help you out of this blue streak.
It sounds like you're still in school; if you are, then you should have a school counselor or a nurse that has been trained for these sorts of things. If not, ask your doctor for a referral. Most doctors became doctors because they enjoy helping people; I'm sure that yours is one such physician.
I wish you the best of fortune in your battle, and will keep you in prayer. Take care!

By all means talk to someone!! There is probably a mental health center close to you that will take you on a sliding fee scale or even free if you can't afford it. There may also be a hot line in the local phone book. If nothing else, go to the emergency room of the hospital and ask them to refer you. Don't wait!! Depression is a serious illness and if you think you need help, you probably do. Talk to anyone who will listen.......don't beat yourself up over past mistakes, learn from them and use them to make better decisions in the future. Depression can be controlled with therapy and medication, so please get some help soon......and good luck!!!!

Online help groups are a good idea if you don't want to talk to people.
Real depression is 2 solid two weeks of no mood lift/change. Like nothing makes you happy or puts you in better spirits, not even your favorite things.
You might just be feeling bad, or sad, but not clinical depression. You could just always talk to a friend as to whats troubling you, because a good friend can be a good way to offer sympathy and a listening ear.

There are free clinics that provide Mental Health services. This would include a counselor and or a Psychiatrist. You could also go to your primary care Physician and talk to him/her. That doctor might have suggestions of who you can talk to you. In the mean time talk to a friend, talk to people on here or talk to your priest or reverend. Also, if you can't talk then take a walk. Walking will help with the depression.
Good Luck.

Wickedness, injustice, grief, pessimism, trouble, loneliness, fear, stress, frustration, distrust, unscrupulousness, anxiety, rage, jealousy, resentment, drug addiction, immorality, gambling, prostitution, hunger, poverty, social corruption, theft, war, struggle, violence, oppression, fear of death… News about these issues appear in the newspapers and on TV every day. The popular press devotes entire pages to these subjects, while others serialise articles about their psychological and social aspects. However, our acquaintance with these feelings is not limited solely to the press; in daily life, we, too, frequently come across such problems and, more importantly, personally experience them.
People and societies endeavour to liberate themselves from the distressing experiences, disorder and repressive social structures that have prevailed over the world for long periods. We only need to glance at ancient Greece; the Great Roman Empire; Tsarist Russia, or the so-called Age of Enlightenment, and even the 20th century-a century of misery which saw two world wars and world-wide social disasters. No matter upon which century or location you concentrate your research, the picture will not be appreciably different.
If this is the case, why haven't people succeeded in solving these problems, or at least some efforts been made to remove such social diseases from society?
People have encountered these problems in all ages, yet each time they have failed to find any solutions because the methods they employed were inappropriate. They sought various solutions, tried different political systems, laid down impracticable and totalitarian rules, stirred up revolutions or subscribed to perverted ideologies, while many others preferred to adopt an indifferent attitude and merely accepted the status quo.
In our day, people are almost numbed by this way of living. They readily believe these problems to be "facts of life." They picture a society immune to these problems as being nothing short of impossible-a dream utopia. They persistently and openly express their distaste for such a way of living, yet easily embrace it, since they think they have no other alternative.
The resolution of all these problematic issues is possible only by living by the principles of the "true religion." Only when the values of true religion prevail can a pleasant and tranquil scene replace this gloomy and unfavourable picture, which is doomed to continue so long as God's limits are ignored. To put it another way, people are enslaved by these complications as long as they avoid the values of the Qur'an. Put simply, this is the "nightmare of disbeliefe" and the link below for this wonderful book:
http://harunyahya.net/popup/Download.php?WorkNumber=256&Format=pdf
you will find how the regulation of life by the "norms of morality" introduced by the Qur'an revealed to mankind by God will banish the "nightmare of disbelief," how pessimism, corruption and social restlessness can be eliminated from society, how the individual can surround himself with an ideal environment, what spiritual and material benefits he is likely to attain by adherence to these norms of morality are gone into in detail, and finally, that the unique alternative to all these problems is the morality of the Qur'an.
So far, many books have attempted to deal with the social and psychological problems societies face. Yet, what distinguishes this book from others is its stress on the most realistic solution. It also sincerely warns people against the troublesome future they are likely to face if they fail to resort to this solution.
We expect that every reader of conscience will grasp that peace, mutual trust and an ideal social life is attainable only by embracing the values of the Qur'an and will turn to the true religion, which is Islam.
They will then happily join the ranks of those who never suffer, mentally or physically, from any of the above-mentioned complications. Around them, there will always be an abundance of favours, comfort, love, respect, peace and confidence, and moral virtues will prevail. They will know how to earn God's approval, by observing His limits and the commandments of the Qur'an. They will thus, by having faith in God, attain His mercy and at last enter Paradise.
