What should I do now???

Long story short, I really screwed up my life and don't know what to do to get back on track.  Actually I do know what needs to be done to live a decent life again, but I know the process may take probably many years until i see improvement in my lifestyle.  I lost my job and i have no prospects...had a good paying job with great benefits but it's all gone now.  I am trying to start over and work back up to where I was before but I feel like I'm getting the runaround when i walk in a store and approach managers to inquire.  I see no hope of getting a job anytime soon because of the lousy economy; it's as if a door slammed shut behind me when i lost my last job and cannot get back into the workforce.  Because I lost my job, my car had been reposessed, and now I'm stuck with thousands of dollars I owe to the collection agency on a car that I no longer own, which is aggravating.  Because of the repo, my credit is ruined and I still owe an outstanding amount on a credit card which has probably turned over to collections by now.  My tax record is a mess.....the IRS won't get off my freaking back!  I have an unpaid citation that I could have taken care of early but now it has snowballed, and possibly a warrant out for my arrest.  My drivers license has expired and I can't renew until the debt is paid, but I can't pay a debt with no money, which I don't have because I don't have a job, but nobody will hire me without a valid ID, so I'm just totally up the creek and stressed out with this whole ordeal.  I am reduced to having to walk to get around, which is very hurtful to my self esteem.  I am a 30year old male who lives with his parents and has no life and no friends, the ex girl doesn't want anything at all to do with me, and I lost all respect for myself because I have no money to give to her to help support my daughter.  I look in the mirror each day and I'm disgusted with what I see looking back..a complete loser and waste of breath.  Everything i worked so hard for over many years is all gone.....I analyzed everything carefully and see no signs of hope or improvement for someone in my predicament, seeing as how all jobs are going to younger responsible people with college education, and at times I feel like the only way to wipe clean is to end it all.  I'm so frustrated and full of anger and hate all the time...everyone irritates me but I can't help how I've become because I feel like i reached rock bottom and I have no options left.  Nothing interests me, the things I once enjoyed as leisure seem meaningless....sometimes I contemplate suicide heavily....I feel that there is nothing left for me to do

I know how you feel.
You just can't see the light.

About companies wanting fresh college graduates... every company is different.. with different needs, some are after experience, etc.
Anyway you can't go looking for jobs when you feel like this.  People can see you are down. Get some exercise take your mind off everything
- then go looking for jobs with an optimistic demeaner (your demeanour reflects on your character)

Have you been to a psychiatrist? Have you been diagnosed?
(I'm not sure how it works in the states but maybe the IRS and collections will ease off a little if you can show them that you are suffering with a debilitating mental illness. Just try it and see?)

This is not your life.  This is only a stage in your life.
You have achieved what you wanted to before, you can do it again.
Trust me in a year or so this whole thing will just be a distant memory.
Ease up on yourself a little.

I agree with Deepie.
I've been where you are on more then one occassion.  While it was happenning I felt the same way you do now.  I was hopeless, helpless, depressed and burdened with anxiety not to mention the economic worries.  
In every case things turned out better for me.  I wound up getting a better job, my prospects improved and most of all I was happier then I was before the eventful calamity occured.  Like you I couldn't believe this would be the case at the time.  Even knowing that prior times that's how it turned out before!  If not for these bad calamities occurring to me, the good things that resulted may never have happened and I certainly wouldn't appreciate them as much as I do.
Look at this as a new beginning and try to believe that it's only up from here.  
Life has it's ups and downs.  We get too attached to our jobs, our 'stuff', materialism, etc...and lose sight of the important things in life and how we gauge our success.  You have your health, a family, shelter...  be glad!  Go out and do good things.  Volunteer somewhere.  You'd be surpriised how many times that leads to employment, relationships, happiness!
Take care!

MMahon that is so true, lots of doors opened up for me when the others closed in my face.  Those closing doors were blessings in disguise.  The opportunities and end results get better and better as I go along, through my life.  
It's just when one is depressed that one thinks "I suck, I will never make it, might as well give up.. blah blah", and in your state at that time, that is you reality and you can't see past your mood.
Life is a process, you just have to keep trying everyday, making changes as you tweak your life and yourself to where you want to be.
I know I'm going to be heavily depressed one of these days again, but I will get out of it again.  Winter and spring.
Do what you want to do right now and find yourself, the real you
