It would make sense that you're depressed
because you have friends like that. I'm sure if I hung out with them for a few days, I'd soon be depressed too.
As long as you cling to those friends, you'll repel successful people from entering your life. If one manages to get through, your friends will repel him/her (or you will).
You know what you have to do to grow. Clear out the disempowering friendships to make room for positive, empowering relationships. You have to empty your cup before you can refill it with a healthier, tastier drink.
You may fear that if you drop those friends, you won't attract new friends to replace them. Of course you will. But first you'll feel much better just being alone for a while. Most likely you'll feel relieved. That relief will lead to even more positive feelings, and from there you'll attract more empowering relationships.
