I have a friend who is in a similar situation to you. He calls it a quarterly life crisis. He's unemployed, depressed and when he was employed he had trouble staying in a job. He feels like he's been left behind by his peers who are all in successful jobs/married/whatever. He's only 24, a year older than you.
I think there are people that do understand. I can imagine it being very hard for me to hold down a job - I had a year out between uni and I just couldn't cope with being in a job. I ended up having three or four jobs because I just couldn't manage. I'm kinda dreading graduating next year (I'll be 23 then too) because I'll need to face the prospect of full time work again. That's scary for me.
Perhaps it would be worth seeking some therapy for this? A therapist might be able to help you find ways of coping when you feel unable to work. Just a thought.
