My life is in shambles right now. What do I do?

I'm not here to moan about little trivial problems. Until I was 16, I was under the assumption that I was born in San Antonio, Texas. It was only when I asked my father that I wanted to get a driver's license did he decide to tell me that we were illegal immigrants and therefore, I couldn't apply for not only a driver's license, but for a job as well. Since then, my life has not been too good. I don't have a job because I don't have a social security number, I can't drive, I don't go to college because I couldn't get that many scholarships and no financial aid to pay for it and of course, I don't have a job. I have to live at home with my other family members and I feel that at 19, my life is totally off track and I'm not where I wanted to be at this point. I've looked into ways of getting a permanent residency to at least solve the source of my troubles but it's something that I can't do since I'm not eligible for one. I've been depressed because of this and considered taking my life on more than a few occasions. Is there anything in my power that I can do to better my life? I feel as if all of these problems are just too big for me alone and I can't seem to find anyone that can offer some guidance or help. What can I do?
