As long as you're alive, it's never too late to do anything. Whether you're 12, 35, 50, it doesn't matter.
I am sorry to hear about the rough times you've been through, but don't let them stop you. Sometimes the only way to overcome fears is to face them. So if you are terrified of being in social situations, try and expose yourself to them a little more. Set small goals and strive for them one at a time. Anything is possible but suicide is not the answer.
Have you thought about volunteering somewhere? Maybe at a shelter, soup kitchen, grassroots organization? Volunteering for something that you care about really makes you feel like you are worth something, like you have a purpose. And believe me, you do.
All I can say is that it's never too late to become the person you were meant to be, and that you have a purpose.
Keep talking.
