It's not really for me to tell you what you should and shouldn't do. But I I understand where you're coming from. You needn't say anything about your circumstances that you don't want to say. Sometimes there are just things nobody else can possibly understand. This is partly why depression is really poorly understood by mainstream society in Australia.
One of the best things you can do is to take a step back and think, "okay, I'm not in the happiest frame of mind, but are things really that fucked? Is it never going to be get better?" because 99% of the time, it will get better and there will be some sort of answer to the problem you're dealing with.
To help you figure this out, you may need to see a therapist. Some won't be any good, and you may need to look around. But sooner or later you'll find one who gets your situation.
You also need to have something, beyond the depression and anxiety, to take your mind off it.
School is the main one. It's very difficult to focus on it when there's a lot on your mind. But trust me, if you can find a way. You're the winner.
Doing things fitness-related are good because, not only do they serve as distraction, your mental health will be partially lifted when your physical health is.
I notice, from the language thread, you're keen on learning a language. Throw a lot into that. You'll be far happier for it.
As for the girlfriend thing. Focusing on having a girlfriend won't help, imo. Focus on the other things and simply being the best person you can be and that sort of thing will probably fall into place.
I think that when we, as people, are in in a really loving relationship with a person, we find the combination of all their qualities and flaws is what makes them attractive to us. You'll experience this sooner or later. The thing is to accept that you, as an individual, have an utterly unique combination of qualities and quirks which make you absolutely awesome and attractive to others.
Remember nobody else in the world has the privilege of being you. Nobody else looks at things in quite the same way that you do. Nobody else laughs at jokes in quite the same way you do. Nobody else has the exact set of qualities and quirks that you have. Nobody else is the unique individual that you are. This is something that you need to embrace. You wouldn't want to be somebody else. When you get to grips with this, you'll feel very happy being you and find it far easier in terms of relationships.

Yippee ](*,) Chin up. Doing something about it is the best thing. I'm just worried that I can't actually do anything about it as most of the things causing my depression can't be fixed, changed or removed from my life and the anxiety is comorbid with another affliction. It's thoughts like that that allow your depression and anxiety to flourish. Only you can change yourself, but you have to be willing to change. It's not use saying 'sure I'll do something', then not doing anything. Starting an exercise program will help. Exercise released endorphin in the brain which make you feel better. Hit a gym, jump on a bike, go for as 5km walk. Small steps lead to bigger ones. Don't let negative thoughts enter your mind, the moment they do think of the ultimate goal you're looking to achieve. It won't happen in a week, it won't happen in a month. Rome wasn't built in a day, but each step forward is a step closer to achieving your goals. It's not just the weight and lack of friends (which can't really be fixed since pretty much no one would want to be friends with someone like me) that's getting to me. There are factors in my life (which I don't really want to reveal) that can't be fixed, removed or alleviated that are affecting my mental wellbeing. Even if I dropped a shit ton of weight and got a girlfriend, I'm not sure if that would be enough to make me happy. Dw, it's not all it's cracked up to be. Would help a little bit with the loneliness. Ask a girl if she likes GoGurt. Then whip out that GoGurt goodness. Works every time.

There are only two intellectually honest debate tactics: (a) pointing out errors or omissions in your opponent’s facts, or (b) pointing out errors or omissions in your opponent’s logic. All other debate tactics are intellectually dishonest - John T. Reed

I find it interesting, people seem to generally accept that racism is a bad thing so they don't want to be labelled it. However they then think they can say racist things because they believe they're true and not be a racist? Just bizarre. Racism is the belief that one or more races are superior to another race of people, if that's what you believe (like 11.mvfc.11 does) embrace the tag. However 442 and the perform group don't have to provide you a platform here to spout them and the mods are well in their rights to lock threads and ban people if they don't like it.

You might find being called McLovin funny, but I don't find being called Newman funny. How many times do I have to say it before you guys fucking understand? You're the only ones who have or ever will find it amusing. The only reason you want me to embrace being called Newman is so you won't feel as bad for picking on a teenager's appearance.
