Not everyone is equipped to know how to handle others' trauma. So if they avoid it, it's likely that they don't want to say the wrong thing, or they themselves are going through a time of their own and don't need the added stress.
If you have a close friend or relative you can share things with, perfect. If not, you can always Google social services in your area to find a counsellor to talk to, or a help line that you can call. There, people are trained to take the time and listen to you, and give you some suggestions on what to do.
While it might be nice to unload on a friend, it might not be something they can handle, and feel as though it's too much for them to take on. Unwittingly, you could be pushing some people away if you keep talking about these things that they have given signals that they don't want to talk about it. One sure way you can tell if someone is willing, is if they actually do say "Do you want to talk about it?" or ask questions to probe into your situation to listen to you. If they don't, then they may not be comfortable. Best to find someone else who is, and usually, that would be a professional. Good luck!

Sounds like you’re suffering a lot with low self esteem, and you feel that you’re a burden to others, aswell as dealing with stress and being burnt out. My recommendation would be to seek therapy.
'If I cannot speak to anyone about my lowest moments what am I to do?'
You can try developing a relationship with your Heavenly father and strengthening yourself through His Word. I can guarantee that merely reading a few lines of Healing scripture daily will completely transform how you feel right now and how you deal with everything that you just mentioned. The reason why your friends aren't responding as you wish is because this is something too big for them. But nothing is too big for God...
I used to be someone that didn't really believe as well so I remember how I used to feel and how my life was.
But since I have no idea of your beliefs I can't really say much more than above. May God bless you and carry your burdens.
If you are suffering from bad trauma, you shouldn't be seeking help from people like friends and family, they won't understand you or your situation.
I suggest you find a good therapist, to help you overcome your issues. You have to understand, you can't expect people to understand your traumas, or mental health issues, you need to see a mental health professional.
Your friends and family can not help you through your traumas, that's were you are going wrong.

Everyone has their own priorities and agendas, no one has the time to listen to or address your traumas. Get therapy and you may feel better, turn to god and develop hobbies.
Go see a good psychologist if you can. Get some exercise until you are tired to distract yourself and stop thinking about all this stuff for a second. Swimming is the best. Eat some really spicy food or hot peppers that burns your mouth.
