Believe me when I say I understand. You remind me alot of me at your age. I know what it feels like to be in that pit of hopelessness and despair. It has taken a lon-g-g-g-g-g time for me to get to where I am now (I'm 35). I wish I had a magic solution, but of course I don't. Its just hard work and determination. And for me, meds. I honestly don't think I would be here today if it weren't for my getting on Prozac. Not that meds are for everyone, but I do feel you should use everything at your disposal to help yourself. This is your LIFE you're dealing with afterall.
You will have to be willing to accept things you think are unthinkable, like the fact that it is okay to put yourself above all others and devote your time to making yourself better. What better way to help other people in your life than becoming a stronger, healthier person?
I know, when I was in the pit of despair all this talk meant nothing to me. But I think you have seen what it feels like to feel better with help and may understand.
Keep trying, I'll be routing for you!
