I Am Depressed

Hey y'all.

So, as the title says I am depressed. I have never been formally diagnosed by a professional, although all the online quizzes say I have severe depression. This is just an outlet for me to release what's going on inside, and to put together my thoughts in a structured way. So, if you don't want to hear all of my problems you may want to click something else.

REASONS WHY IM DEPRESSED:
1.) 25 and still living with parents.
2.) I am earning low income and have car and student debt to pay back. ($23k)
3.) I'm don't like my job or my boss.
4.) Boyfriend constantly also has no money (lost his job twice this year)
5.) I got into 2 car accidents and a speeding ticket recently (I only had my new car for 1 month)
6.) The few friends I have don't seem to even like me.
7.) I have had 2 abortions within the past few years.
8.) I never do anything fun anymore.
9.) I am fat.
10.) Lastly, nothing seems to go right for me for the past 6 years or so. I work really hard, and can't seem to pull myself up. Usually people have ups and downs but I always seem to get stuck with the downs one right after the other.

Anybody else experience similar shit situations?

1. Stop speeding! Seriously, just don't do it. Your time isn't so precious that you should be that reckless. I literally saw someone die in my driveway yesterday morning because (I can only assume) they were speeding. Don't get yourself hurt for an extra few minutes.
2. A LOT of people in their early to mid 20s are stuck living with their parents and unable to do much about it right now. It's not your fault. I can't even get a job, and I've been applying since August of 2016. Save as much as you can and try to get a better paying job.
3. Birth control.
4. Take care of your body and you'll probably feel a lot better.

@Invisible 1.) I know. The speeding was dumb and my fault. But the accidents? Not my fault. But it wrecked my brand new car that I'm still making payments on. Totally sucks.
2.) I got a 'useless' art degree, so I kind of expected to be poor, but I thought it would be worth it because I would be happy in my career. Turns out I hate my job and my boss. I got a degree in animation and can only seem to get a graphic design job. Not the same thing.
3.) I did, and still do use birth control. It didn't work. Not sure if he has super sperm or if I have super vagina.
4.) I hear this all the time. I know. Intellectually, I know I should excercise and eat right. It makes people look and feel better. I can't afford a gym membership though, and I don't have time to really prepare healthy meals. Plus healthy foods like fruits and veggies are expensive as well. It's tough when youre working all the time and can't afford a lot.

Why would you get a brand new car if you're only making $23K a year and living with your parents?

It doesn't cost money to eat less and you don't need a gym membership to exercise. You don't even need to exercise at all if your goal is just not to be fat.
