Suggest Treatment For Stress

I've very stressed. I just graduated high school and even though I got into the school of my dreams, I was unable to attend due to financial issues. I've since changed my goals and I'm taking a year off to go to school next fall. However, all my friends are either gone to college or still in high school and I feel alone. I'm living out of a mini refrigerator because my regular one broke, and we have no hot water. I've been depending on my friends for support in my goals and even a hot shower, but like I said they're gone. Work is stressing me out, and I feel unproductive. I don't know if I'm just sad, if I'm stressed, or if I'm depressed. I feel like I can get over this, but my solution is unrealistic and impossible, what do I do?
