I'm honestly at the end of my rope here, so I guess I may as well try asking here.
A few years ago, I decided to get my shit together and stop being a NEET leeching off my parents. Unfortunately, I had no idea what to do, but I figured getting my GED would be a good start, so I took the test and passed it without too much trouble. It just so happened that the place I took my GED test at was a nearby vocational school, and desperate to get my shit together, I entered. It wasn't exactly what I wanted to do, but I decided it was better than sitting on my ass all day. I graduated, but I wasn't able to get any real employment aside from one or two extremely short-lived temporary contract jobs (one of whom paid me in cash and had no real paperwork, so I have no means to prove that I ever actually worked for them). That was the end of it, and for a couple months, I was basically unemployed while sitting on a $10,000 debt, pretty much worse off than before. Every other interview I went to ended up producing no results.
Desperate to do whatever I could, I ended up getting a shitty job at a local supermarket. I'm making some money, but all things considered, it's clearly not gonna help me move outta my parents' house, especially considering the debt. I have no idea what to do or how to improve my situation. I'm job-searching every day, going through craigslist and whatever jobsite I can find, signed up to multiple job sites, basically just doing anything I can think of, but at the end of the day, I'm forced to realize that I really have no idea what to do. I have no prospects, no experience, no connections and the education I received was worthless. Am I just completely fucked?

You are not completely fucked up because you are still living and you have where to go to sleep; Keep looking to a job, don't lose your way.
Maybe you want to do some extra cash, try getting some in the net.
I agree with the other guy. "Your impending sense of doom is nothing but emotional residue - there is nothing wrong. Even when something is wrong. nothing is wrong. You deal with problems as they arise, no big deal."
Keep going OP, look for a job while working. If you can't do that just keep going you'll see a purpose or opportunity soon.

I suppose. I dunno, I feel like I've been trying so hard to pull myself out of the stagnation I've been living under for so long, but I have nothing to really show for it.
I don't have any delusions about my situation, though.. I know this is all just the result of all the poor decisions I've made. But I just feel so hopeless all the time.
What did you study at your vocational school?
For what it's worth, you could see about moving to a new area. Save up a bit and work forwards taking in a new surrounding.

Medical billing/coding. Not exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, bupposedly, the business was supposed to "boom" or whatever. It never really worked out. I went through a bunch of interviews, but I guess I fucked up something fierce because none of them ever ended up working out. The school said they'd help me find employment, but they stopped doing that after a while. Eventually, I gave up on finding a job in that particular field and just went after whatever I could find. I'm currently working my ass off at a minimum wage job at a supermarket, bagging groceries, pushing carts, mopping floors.
I don't see myself moving out anytime soon. I can't even afford to spend any money on hobbies and interests.
