As many people have said here I would definitely recommend travelling / backpacking. While not exactly the same situation, when I was 21 and living in the UK, I was severely depressed with the way things were going in my life. I had dropped out of University, working 9-5 in a call centre, earning slightly above minimum wage and living with my parents.
One miserable day, I figured there had to be a different way. I bought a cheap one way ticket I saw on sale into Buenos Aires and another out of Toronto. I saved hardcore for 6 months after buying the flights and managed to scramble enough together to do it. For me, it was the definitely the best medicine. I had something to focus on and prepare for.
While on that trip I met my now wife and also learned a lot about myself in the process. I ended up moving to the USA, graduating with my bachelors and now I'm a software developer.
I think traveling in general especially to somewhere with a different culture helps you to see yourself and situation in a completely different way and opens up so many opportunities. Good luck.
