I have been there and its horrible, I feel for you. I had depression and still have bipolar and anxiety but I manage them much much better now. I dropped out of school in year 9 and became incredibly isolated and it made my depression even worse. Getting out of that rut will make you feel so much better! Find some routine or something to structure your days around, make some money somehow, write a book, just anything to give you goals.
And I dont know about sending you away, I dont think you'd need to go anywhere. You can get help from wherever you are. If you live in the UK then the CAMHS mental health service is there for you until you're 19, you just have to get a referall from your GP. I'm not sure about other parts of the world, but there are many options that mean you can stay where you are and still get help.
After I got help, it made things a lot better, my life is back to normal again almost, I went to college and although I recently dropped out, I have good goals for my life. These problems dont need to rule your life anymore, you just gotta ask for help and give it some time.
I hope you are better soon

Your symptoms sound like those that my youngest son had to deal with. Getting him through High School was an ongoing struggle for him and everyone around him.
He recently learned that the British recently announced that they had discovered that some people's brains are wired to make them feel extreme anger when they hear certain sounds. The most common sounds that caused the anger are the sounds of breathing and eating. When he learned about this, he looked at himself and realized that this was the key issue that had interfered with him going to school as far back as he could remember. He recently told me and my wife about his discovery, and it explained all of his behavior patterns.
I don't know if this is what is going on with you, but I'm writing this in case you are experiencing the same thing.
I highly recommend checking out the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) website. NAMI is composed of people dealing with mental illness in themselves or others, and can provide links to many people and websites that are incredibly helpful, including discussion groups with people dealing with the same issues you are.

I know how you feel hun. Unfortunatley I don't know what advice to give you thats going to make you feel better and isn't that BS that everyone always gives "talk to someone" and all that sh!t that doesn't even work. All I can say is just focus on the future. Because although all this that is happening now you can't control but YOU control your future. YOu can't rely on anyone else. Just work on fixing your relationship with yourself and everything else will eventually fall into place

get a counselor or therapist! One that you trust and can build a trusting relationship with!
