Please don't take what I'm about to say the wrong way.  I'm NOT saying it in a "you should have already done this by now", I'm saying it in a genuine "I think this will help you" way.  You should get a job.  I know it's hard to go out, and I know it will be difficult, but I really truly believe it will help you for a variety of reasons on a variety of fronts.

For one, it will give you a reason to leave the house every day.  Something to do, something to keep you busy, something to get your mind focusing on things other than yourself and how lousy you feel.  When I was really depressed, getting a job really helped.  You will get to interact with different people on a daily basis and it will help the loneliness.  You can start to make friends.


And that leads me to the second positive thing about getting a job.  While the job will no doubt certainly help in some regard, if it does not help enough and you still feel like you need support, you may have made friends at your new job that you can talk to instead of your parents.  I can say that my co-workers are my best friends, and my family, and we often get together outside of work when we can.  We care about each other  (Neglify's concerns about being told we need help rings very true with me due to some of my 'habits'... lol) and we support each other.
