The title says it all. I don't know where to turn/what to do, I'm posting here just to talk about it I suppose.

I just feel really depressed, and that my life is going nowhere, and won't anytime soon.

I'm 20, male, and from the UK, and for the past 8 months I've been unemployed. I'm applying for 15-20 jobs a month and getting nowhere because of the recession. No job means no money, so that gets me down more. This has really taken a big knock on my self confidence, I feel I am nowhere near the person I was a year ago. Especially when talking to the opposite sex. I feel like a little child again when in conversations. Not to mention being a virgin and never having kissed anyone really getting to me at the moment, I just used to be able to laugh those off. I feel everything has amounted all at once, and it's just going to keep amounting if I keep it supressed.

I've also learnt that my dad may be losing his job soon, so we'll be down money wise as a family. It just seems like nothing can go right.

I can't talk to my friends about it, because they won't understand. They have money, jobs, cars and girlfriends. Four things I can't picture myself with. I actually came close to crying this afternoon.

Any advice/tips would be appreciated
