Detailed Answer:
Hi thanks for asking from HCM
I can understand your concern and I'd ask you to remain relaxed. Feeling alone, feeling that you are not progressing in your life, after fight at home could be occuring due to stress of that fight. Try not to generalise the things (if you are generalising).
Do these feeling of loneliness and depressed mood remain persistent? Do you feel depressed even when there is no fight?
First of all try to relax yourself. Think about the positive things in your life. Remember those people who are very important in your life and for whom you are very important. Try not to react I'm this heat of moment.
Once you become a little bit relaxed then try to find out why this fight happened? Why are you feeling depressed and lonely? Disqualifying positive, generalising the things, giving extra importance to negative etc are common factors that result in depression. Find out if these things are making your mood worse. Try to solve these things.
If even after that symptoms persist and you feel depressed through out the days then consult a psychiatrist for help and evaluation. Cognitive therapy and medicines if needed can help you to come out of depression.
Thanks and Take care
