Hello this is my first post I'm sure what exactly I am expecting by taking this step but I have been struggling with basically everything in my life. I couldn't focus on my studies during my college and I was supposed to be working after graduation. It's been 5 months since I graduated and I'm still unemployed. I can't bring myself to take interest in anything whether personal or professional. I haven't been in contact with any of my friends and at this point they don't even feel like one. I don't particularly have a bad relationship with my family infact what we have is not even enough to be considered as good or bad. I tried looking up on internet about how I feel and everything was about spend time with family and friends and go on a walk etc. I am introvert and have a social anxiety so seeing those results on internet basically felt like mocking. At this point I just don't feel like being human works for me. Unfortunately I can't bring myself to say no when I ask myself do I have to live?P.S: I have never been professionally diagnosed with any medical condition like depression so I don't dare to say I have it but whatever it is, it sucks.

Welcome to the community
I'm very sorry you aren't doing well. This is a place to come for support and understanding, I hope you find it helpful.
I do think an evaluation for a diagnosis would be helpful. It's hard to know where to turn or what steps to take until you can pinpoint exactly what is wrong.
Being an introvert is tough I imagine. Were you social in school?
Having a support system is one of the biggest things talked about in many articles on depression. Try not to look at it as mocking but more as challenging for you right now.
I hope you find it helpful here
