Totally normal, and SOOOOO many people struggle with the same thing, myself included.
Try talking to a counselor/therapist. It helped me sort out some stuff.
Also, I'd HIGHLY recommend volunteering in some fashion because honestly, it really puts things in perspective for you, plus it just makes you feel good.
Another idea, if you are a person of faith, is to seek a church/temple/synagogue/mosque. Community is important to have and I know that my tendency is to want to be a hermit, which only makes me feel like crap and speak negatively to myself and to have several people around me somewhat regularly has been helpful.
Best of luck to you and I encourage the song writing. It's a great therapeutic way of getting feelings out on paper. I prefer it much more than journaling!
Writing songs about suicide... as an adult?
