How can I cope with depression?

In the last ten months, I've been kicked out, moved around three times, worked many jobs, stopped school to make money, had dad and mom get sick, was cheated on while pregnant, lost my baby, had relationship issues, and was betrayed. I can't get a job. I have no friends. I feel lonely and isolated. I've been dealing with all this by myself.

Usually upsetting incidents are necessary so we place ourselves on a new track in life. They are not meant to harm you, so much as to nudge you to invest your life with different activities and people.
