I get up every day to see the same shit, money and power hungry politicians who don't give a fuck about anyone but themself, people killing eachother over fairytales and people arguing about how their version of those fairytales is better, censorship, and suffering.
I have severe agoraphobia, and depression.
I have constant panic attacks.
I have severe anxiety about falling asleep.
I'm trans and hate my body.
I never see my friends.
I hate most of my family.
What the fuck do I do.

You need to see a therapist. Stay away from media and news... Don't read anything about politics, genders, this and that. TAKE A BREAK. Find something to empty your mind. Go out, do some exercise, have a walk.

You need a therapist, not people on the Internet. I hope you can get some help.

No matter what, try not to forget that you matter. You belong to us. Not these forums or the atheist community, but the human race.
How can you be sure my refusal to agree with your claim a symptom of my ignorance and not yours?

I took out the lines that don't apply to about 3/4 of the World's population.
Now, go get some therapy and see a psychiatrist for an Rx for an antidepressant.

Therapy. It helps. Trust me, I know.
Speak when you have something to say, not when you have to say something.

You act.

Sorry if this sounds a bit empty or cliché. But i mean it; take action.
You can try Therapy, as Some have suggested. Perhaps it'll help. Perhaps it won't. You can try exercising. Perhaps you'll feel better. Perhaps you won't. You can try meeting new people, do volunteerwork, join a hobbyclub, ... Perhaps any of these will help you feel better about yourself and offer you a way to get The understanding you need. Perhaps they won't.
But at The very least you'll be exercising control over your life. You won't resign to The same everyday shit. It's your life and you'll be doing your best to make it The best it can be.

I like to get my mind straight with Call the Midwife. If I watch alone, I weep openly and heavily. It seems I develop frustration from not expressing deep grief and joy for myself and the world. I get emotionally backed up which makes me cold and no fun at all.

Have a glass of orange juice or apple juice ... it is like drinking sunshine.  If you don't find happiness in the small things, then you won't have much happiness.

What are you doing?
Are you taking any medications?
Don't do that.

Discomfort provokes change. When things are shitty, they feel shitty because you want better. Go work towards being in a happier place. Even if you don't get there right away, the progress WILL be a huge relief... but stagnation will only make you feel worse.

I got a good chuckle out of that.

While that is probably a great temp-remedy, it's not going to fix her situation though. I suggest what was said by Mr. Obvious. Act and work towards having a better livelyhood.

Then just drop by a friends house unannounced. Hell I'm sure they would comfort you and help you because that's what friends are for.

Stay away from media, and sites like twitter or facebook, these sites run people into the ground.

I learned a long time ago that you need thick skin to survive in this world, a lot of resistance. A decade ago events like what you'd see in the news would make me feel the way you do. but over time I decensortised myself to the worst of it, and got into the mindset of just getting on with life, enjoying the things I enjoy, and not letting myself get wrapped up in the media. I don't even buy newspapers and very, very rarely turn on the news channel.
