I gotta get back out to work and learn to keep to myself
I wish I could turn all of this negative energy into making the best of what's left. Does anyone get to do that?

From what you have written up there ^ it sounds like you have chosen a life of loneliness. Maybe the loneliness is one of the things that is fueling the depression? I know that I would be depressed if I isolated myself. We are social creatures.
May I suggest that maybe the reason that you haven't been in a normal relationship with anyone is because you were never taught and you so far have never learned? This stuff can be learned. They are basically skills. I had to learn a lot of them.
