We advise the questioner to marry, as it may help him obey Allah. If he is unable to do so, then he should fast, as we have explained the ruling on masturbation for those with strong desires, and some ways to help quit masturbation in previous fatwas. Regarding depression and premature ejaculation, you can consult the counseling section.
