To be honest, I dont think you have depression. I think you're just overwhelmed because you have a lot going on. Its totally understandable, sometimes things seem to spiral out of control, dont they?
Okay, well here are my two cents, for what they're worth.
Why do you hate your art school? I cant really say anything about you hating it until I understand why that is.
I think you might feel sad about sleeping with your best friend, because like you said you dont know how that will change your relationship. I think you should talk to your best friend, being totally straight to the point, about what happened.
As for getting a job. Ugh. Job hunting can feel miserable when you cant seem to find anything, and especially when you feel the pressure to get a job RIGHT NOW. All I can say for this one is dont get discouraged because you cant find something right for you. Keep looking, and you might be surprised what you can find. There are some totally awesome jobs/employers out there that have to be looking for someone.
Now, about still being in the closet. I think the best thing for you to do is talk to someone about it. I recommend going to a friend first (if you havent already) and talking to them about it. Talking about it will not only make you feel better, but the person you're talking to can give you support and advice when it comes to telling your parents.
Parents. Sigh. Well, I'm going to tell you that your parents care about you. They care about you because you are their son. Whether you are bi, gay, straight, an axe murderer, purple, or a professional mud wrestler, they should love you for who you are. If they act disappointed, make sure they know you've done nothing wrong, you're still the same person, and they should be supporting you and proud you were able to tell them. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING BI, dont let them make you think otherwise.
Now I know all parents are not the ideal supportive ones. But even if your parents arent supportive at first, give them some time, and I'm pretty sure they'll come around.
Also, if you have one parent who you're closer to, you might want to tell them first and not together. Sitting your parents down and talking to them both is intimidating sometimes.
I think you need someone to talk to, more than anything else. Even if you feel like you cant come out to your parents, even if you feel like you'll never get a job, you definitely need someone to talk to.
Hopefully you have someone who you're comfortable talking to. If not, maybe you should try getting closer to a friend or making a new one. Or you can talk to someone on here, there are lots of people willing to listen. Feel free to contact me, my ears are open.
I'm bi also, I told one of my good friends at school, and she completely understood that it was hard too say. Now, for me I have some friends who don't mind, and some who do, there's nothing wrong with being gay/lesbian/bi, and everyone will love you for who you are. I've been going through similar problems, but I talked to a counsler at my school, and some of my closest friends, and they've been helping me when I'm down. This one girl I know, she is the best, I'm not sure how she knows, but she knows when I'm depressed whether I express it or not. She's always there to talk to me and guide me at times. You just need to find someone you souly trust, and talk to them, it helps a load!
