There are up times and there are down times in life. Don't berate yourself if you need alone time - but if it goes on for too long, here are some things that you could consider doing:

Think nutrition - How's your diet? Low protein can cause depression symptoms as can a number of other things. If you are eating plenty of protein (meat, eggs, fish, poultry, nuts, quinoa pasta, etc.) you might consider a natural mood elevator like St. Johns Wort (most helpful when the days are short) or Kava Kava.

Get some exercise - Take a walk or do some yoga. Find an indoor volleyball game. Exercise can really snap us out of depression just by getting the blood and endorphines going.

Quiet meditation - Quiet times often work best when meditating (although zoning on the tv is a kind of meditation in and of itself). I would consider sitting quietly for 15 mins and focus on your breath. If you find you mind simply must have something to think about, visualize yourself as you wish to be (happy, at peace, loving life).

There are many people right now who are feeling similarly - we are at a time of transition and transformation, many of us. I have spoken to countless people who are on the brink of something that they can not even start to talk about, but they feel it is very important. This will pass, but we need to focus on what we want to truly make the most of this opportunity.

Peace!

You should go see a counselor and also ask for antidepressants from either a psychiatrist or your primary care doctor. It sounds like you may have depression (which is a chemical thing and thus not your fault) and if you don't take care of it it could get worse and be very distructive to your life.

Also, try to get a hobby! Find something to do that makes you happy and helps you cope with the sadness. Make sure to get all the nutriants your body needs, and if you don't eat healthily, at least take multi vitamins and drink lots of water. Try to get out and sit in the sun for at least 20 minutes a day if not more, because a lack of enough sunlight can cause or make depression worse.

Young is relative, I guess but no matter how old you are we sometimes feel sorry for ourselves and allow it to control our life. I'd suggest you find somewhere you'd be comfortable doing some volunteer work, sounds like you'd rather be doing something and be paid for it if you're going to have to get up off your butt but believe me once you feel good about yourself again, no money can give you what you get from helping someone else. It could be a neighbour not able to do some jobs around the house or just reading to someone unable to see well enough. Think about what you could do for someone not able to get out. It will get you out of the house and thinking of another person's problems rather than your own and I bet your problems will be small compared to what they live with every day. Put your thinking cap on, its a start!

Wow. Ok, this answer could also be 5 years late however i'm going to answer it anyway. Such as you, i've Asperger's Syndrome, and ADHD, despite the fact that at sixteen i'm more youthful so i can comprehend where you might be coming from. I am currently doing a grand whole of two A stages at tuition, which I do not experience so much, and i think my time is being wasted as I common 2 classes a day. I have now not labored before, so I can not rather say much about work, however however, i'm not excited by it both, since it seems everybody out there exists to generate income off you, so why will have to I trouble? Concept I say this, I suppose like if I used to be doing some type of work i might believe better about myself and obtain some thing. You say you haven't any acquaintances? I can't say how dangerous I consider for you. I've friends, both clearly and online, such as you, i have by no means had a (actual) relationship, best on-line ones, I've never kissed a lady, and that i spend a variety of my time in my room by myself, but i'm now not totally remoted and cut off from them. A variety of my friends say i am a excellent hearted man even though I make errors. I spend quite a few my time communicating online with different autistic acquaintances, and it offers me alleviation to grasp that i am now not the only one with this situation, and no I I additionally hate my life, boring, repetitive, lonely, and not attaining some thing right? And sure, i've been in the equal boat as you, trying an finish to lifestyles but now not wanting to harm someone. I've obvious psychologists before, and so they haven't labored, partly on account that i don't actually say how i am feeling considering the fact that I consider like no person cares. I've by no means taken medicinal drugs, i do not need to and i might fairly advocate you to discontinue, medicinal drugs cost cash and also you would emerge as in a nasty financial state not to mention a crook document and penal complex time if you are caught. To find some thing to exchange the medications that makes you suppose refreshed and reset. Pets are excellent enterprise, and i'm comfortable it can be helped you believe a little higher. As for making friends, I frequently simply wing it and reply to conversations if i'm in the temper for it. Actually, with discovering a female friend, there may be now not a lot advice i will offer you. Simply be your self, try and talk to extra persons, and although making friends does not land you a lady friend, persons could come to like you, studying your question, i will say you appear like a quality individual who appears like no person honestly needs or understands you. I recognize that, but humans will not know if you want friends when you don't say something. On the second, i do not go out with neighbors but I do, at the least, speak to them every as soon as in a while. Oh, I also have subsequent to NO self belief at all on the grounds that I suppose i'm unpleasant, even when folks say i'm just right watching. I am not fairly looking for a girlfriend proper now, seeing that i do not suppose i'm ready or interested. Knowing that humans like me is adequate, and might be at some point you can get any individual who loves you, i am nonetheless protecting out hope. When all else fails, are attempting venting your anger and frustrations on some thing, even having a good rant could make you suppose higher. I decide on to hearken to irritated/dark song like black metallic and demise metallic, have a just right thrash and let off some vigour, and i'm going to be feeling higher. Just do not quit. If individuals are announcing unhealthy matters about then you they were not your authentic acquaintances, in finding some persons who respect you for what you might be. Just right good fortune.

Sounds to me like you have a very low selfesteem.I recommend
that you start eating a balanced diet with regular exercise, this will help build confidence and selfesteem. It is a fact that lack of exercise and poor diet can alter mood levels and cause depression, It can also cause a lack of energy making you feel like not wanting to do anything.Also try going to bed early and waking up early this also helps mood levels.Give my suggestion
at least six weeks, and if you still feel the same I advise talking to your doctor about your opptions. Good luck!!

What is your focus in life? What are your goals? If you have none, then TV will be all that you want to do. But if you have a term paper due, or a new course to take, you won't be able to sit and do nothing. Where do you want to be when you are 50? It doesn't happen by itself..it takes work. Good luck.

Try different things until you find something that you feel exited about. Maybe you don't want to go out with your "freinds" because what they do is not what you want. Try dancing it's a great way to meet new people and a fun thing to do.

See a therapist and talk about it. Possibly some medication would be prescribed. But talking it out is best. Best of luck to you.
