Nal, this is only temporary.

I know it seems like breaking free of it is so far away, but it isn't! I know how hard it is, because I struggled with depression, and I still do. A lot. But, I've also felt what it feels like to be 100% better. It's possible. Sometimes it seems as if everything is against you, but remember: Even in the middle of all of that, you are you. The strength which comes from inside you is enough to pull yourself out of this and become infinitely happier than you are now. Trust me: Nothing feels better than being happy. I can't wait until my situation changes and I can feel that way again, but right now, all I can do is wait for it to get better, and have hope for the future. You, too, can be happy.

You're not alone, either, I hope. If you are, try to make a friend. It's so hard that first time you speak to someone, but if you take the time to introduce yourself, you may make a wonderful friend to help you feel less alone in all of this. But if you can't, don't worry: Not all of us are cut out to have tons of friends (myself included). We get on just fine. The trick to being happy without friends is to find happiness within yourself: Find hobbies that you like to do alone, find books or movies with people to admire, and become the strongest individual you can become.

Sorry... That was really cheesy, wasn't it?

Anyway, I hope you get better, Nal.
