As far as feeling alone, getting help, having people that care, you are heading in the right direction. Its going to take time to build a support team, but reaching out is the exact right thing to do. This site is a start. Call your local county mental health department and see if they have a depression support group. You may find someone who needs you as much as you need them.

As far as not knowing what you want in life, you're 21. (i looked). A majority of young people don't know what they want yet. Even the ones going to college (forced by their parents). You don't have to know. Ever really. Meditate on what you would do if time and money were no object. Start there. See where that takes you. You may find yourself no longer lonely.

PS depression is a gateway to enlightenment.

I am sorry for the way you are feeling. Contact your Department of Social Services or Health Department to see if they offer mental health services and therapy or counseling. In regard to not knowing what you want to do, start setting goals for yourself and begin to achieve them one by one.
