I get it! Love your wording because this is exactly how I feel right this moment.
This is what I am doing.
Seeing a psychologist twice a month, taking antidepressants and forcing myself to go out and be around people. I am trying to fake it until I make it. I have tapes and books to read and it is hard because my attention span isn't so great right now. I've decided to go back to work so I have something to fill my day and get out of my head for awhile.
Understand I am hating every moment of my day and I cry for all that I've lost, which like you, is everything. I want to go back to what I had and it isn't a possibility so I try to do damage control. Maybe I'll make it, I hope so.
I hope this has helped you in some small way and I wish you strength to get through the next hour.

Well--let's see
You have an identity on Yahoo Answers
You have the ability to communicate with others and evidently know how to type -- use a computer-- and spell
You have a computer at your disposal and the good sense to be looking for advice on a way to continue -----Sounds to me like--you haven't actually lost EVERYTHING
Now--from here--start listing the things that you DO have
Make a sort of --assets list-- and put down EVERYTHING
Thing is---when one comes to major loss--the tendency is to focus on all that has been taken and not see all that is left--when in all actuality there is a lot of the stuf left that put all of the other stuff together to begin with
Then--you start over--but-- you won't have to do it all on your own
Most usually on that list you should be making---you're going to have a couple of friends ----and---there are a lot of others that you'll find that will be willing to help with one thing and another along the way back-------
So---you haven't lost EVERYTHNG--and with what you DO HAVE---and with just a little touch of drive and desire---you'll be back---and usually people who have come to major loss and make the comeback---comeback stronger and better than ever !!

Do you have a job?? If not, you had better start looking. Just pick yourself up, and try to start over. Don't you have friends? Maybe some/one could help. Find a cheap place to live. If you can, get two jobs. You tell so little, there is so little to work with--information wise. Good luck. Unless, you are past 60-70 years of age---or disabled????

That isn't enough info...do you still have a job? A place to live? I'm going to assume you have something given you have internet access and the time to check Yahoo Answers.
If you're unemployed, find a job or seek unemployment until you have a job. If you need a place to live, check into a shelter. Contact friends or family.
If "everything" refers to a person, work through the pain and grief.
Losing "everything" is not such a simple situation to be summed up as you have done.

Here is a story which may help...
Once there was a king, and happiness eluded him. His servant was put in charge of discovering the secret, or die trying.
Someone had told the king he needed the shirt of a happy man. So the servant set out to get the shirt.
He asked many rich men... no luck. However, he learned of a flute player heard at night near the river. It was said this man was happy, ah! Now he could get the shirt... and save his neck.
One night he came upon this man, hearing true happiness. He demanded his shirt. "Sir," the player replied, "you cannot see in the dark, but I am utterly poor... I have no shirt."
Needless to say this disappointed the servant.

I have lost everything more than once(especially those I loved most, my son died, lost the love of my life, my mother and many more). I have tried every escape from pain as well. I have no good answer, I just keep trying.

There are plenty of people that have good suggestions, but you MUST put your cards on the table (good or bad) before you will get anything besides speculative suggestions. Don't be afraid to open up, you'll have to someday anyway.

You start over. Dont make the same mistake again that you made to loose everything.
