You should never feel like you're overreacting when it comes to depression. It's a serious thing and should be taken seriously by the people around you. I'm sorry that your parents yell at you for being depressed. I personally don't think that's the best way they could be handling the situation.

I have never been homeschooled, or traveled in an r.v. But I do have strict parents and I kind of know where you're coming from with that. As mentioned earlier in a previous post, you could try talking to them when things are calmer. I definitely know the feeling of being afraid to talk to parents about certain subjects in fear of negative responses or punishment. But there comes a point where keeping it to yourself can become unhealthy.

I'm also sorry you feel like you can't make friends. This may not be the way you'd like, but online chat rooms or social networks in general are a great way to connect with people. Not only can you find people with similar interests, but you can literally almost talk to them whenever you want, no matter where you are. You don't have to worry about physically being with them because with the click of a button you can talk to them.

I've met a lot of close friends through sites like DeviantART, (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram respectively) and even Omegle. (rarely)

It's not a physical friendship but it still makes you feel important and wanted. Even just being part of a community like this can make you feel a part of something bigger than yourself, and sometimes that can be a big self-esteem booster.

I didn't cover everything in your original post, but I hope I've provided something you can find useful. (:
