why i am so depressed?

i'm a 21 years old guy, i have some days that i feel very depressed , and very unmotivated. i study computer science, but now that  i'm finnishing my studies i have had very difficult to find a job in my country. before  those days i felt so good, i studied hard, and i had  very optimistic ideas about my life. Also i've been under some pressure by others to get emplyed, but i failed. I'm a closed person, so dont often express my feeling to others. During this sadly situation another bad question has come to my mind, "Why do i live?, someday i'll die,so nothing is important?" this question i keeping me out of continuing to study again, and feel optimistic,like before. This feeling comes to me especially in the morning and keeps me depressed and unmotivated all day long. i'm a religious guy. Any advice from you will be very helpful. (sorry about my english).

it sounds like you could be depressed.  it happens and is very common.  i would try to get into see a doctor and if they suggest meds for a short time then take them.  that is the first step i would take.
right away i would start exercising as well.  it releases natural chemicals in your brain to make you feel better.
you are only 1 'your hired' away from getting a job.  it takes some time, but keep trying.  you need to take care of you first

I suggest you to see a counselor/therapist if there is one near where you live.They can help you a lot with your questions and fears.

Secondly, you may be questioning yourself because you feel like you're not getting anywhere with your studies or being employed. You shouldn't listen to others on where you should be in your life. If you don't want to be employed right now, don't. If you want to be employed, do it!. Your choices in life should not be dependent on people, otherwise you're just going to disappoint yourself.

Maybe you should try getting outside. Get some sun, fresh air.
Do you exercise on a regular basis? That often helps many people with depression as it regulates chemicals in the brain.
