Discouraged

I believe I suffer from depression. I am 24 yrs old. My mother was diagnosed with cancer, two years later she passed away. the experience was heart wrenching, and I miss her so much. I am now left with my father who is very nasty to me at times. Most of my friends have moved away. I feel very lonely. I am introverted, and when I try to extend myself and make friends with people I seem to hit brick walls which makes me even more apprehensive and discouraged. In addition I often have nightmares of my mother living and dying. I feel like I’m at the end of my rope. What should I do?
