A psychologist I mentioned this to said "what are you trying to avoid"?

Will someone please help me? I am feeling very depressed and right now I feel like I want to die. I can't talk to anyone about how I'm feeling because of social phobia. I hate myself and my life has now meaning anymore. I've isolated myself from everyone because I can't cope with social situations. The one friend I had is too busy to talk to me and I never see anyone else.
