Even when I wake up in the morning, I feel dejected and hopeless. I still don't have my dreams fulfilled and they get further and further out of my reach the older I get. 
What are your realistic dreams ?
Well, it's really more accurate to say they were my dreams. I wanted to play in a band, have a family, have atleast a solid circle of friends, and be good at drawing but they all fell and got smashed on the ground.
of those, the thing you have most control over is becoming good at drawing. can you get a sketchbook and practice? they say competency takes 10,000 hours.
I have a sketchbook but whenever I try to draw something, I end up trashing it because I either mess up or my creativity dries up.

that's okay. stay with it. also, try to remember that you are hard on yourself. maybe take something that you don't think is completely awful for a fresh opinion. let any compliments temper your own negativity. a russian novelist threw a just-finished novel in the fire, thinking it poor. a friend fished the novel out and had it published. it sold well.

I honestly think I am too old to learn anything new or re-train my brain. Apparently the brain stops developing at a certain age and is fixed until death. If that's so, I should just go ahead and put myself out of my misery.
