I'm so depressed!!?!


Question: I don't know what to do. Lately i have been feeling really sad and really overwhelmed by everything. I go to school (college) full time. Monday thru Thursday. Then i work at a restaurant Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Since i only work on the weekends, i don't make that much money. It barely covers my bills. I am 24 and i still live with my parents. I feel like i need to get out on my own but sometimes it feels like its going to be forever until that happens. I lost my license and i still have another year and a half before i get it back and its really starting to have an affect on me. I also have to volunteer at a hospital during the week too. I never have any money to go out. I have lost interest in going out with my friends. I also might be pregnant. i used a condom but it broke. my dog and my cat are really old and require a LOT of time and attention. My mom is in a bad mood today. I just feel like im gonna snap... what the hell am i supposed to do???

ok... im going to try my best to help you out. so you go to college mon thru thursday. pick up a part time job on those nights. there are 24 hours in a day... plenty of time. jsut be open to do whatever you have to do. i dont care if you have to work at the local mcdonalds. a job is a job. plan it around your volunteerin at the hospital. take the pay and money from that job and split it in half everytime you get it. put half in a savings account and the other half use for little extras. because if you are pregnant then you need to save up. the baby wont pay for itself.
also, the saving up thing will help you be ready to move out on your own. you just really need to get yourself together. talk to your mom or your dad about how you want to take initiative and get out there. i know they love you more than anything but no parents want their kid to just stay home and live with them forever.
and seeing as u volunteer at a hospital, take two minutes after you're finished one day & make an appointment with the clinic and find out if your pregnant.
dont lose interest in being with your friends. talk to one of them that you feel close iwth and make a plan for a fun girls night out. itll be just what you need. about your cat and dog... give them attention but know that you dont need to be with them at all times. its okay. while you sit at the computer or do your school work, sit with them. organize your time. make a schedule for your week and a todo list. maybe get a job bartending. you get to be out where there are many people your age, you get hit on, meet people and MAKE $$$$$.
girl you can do it. just get yourself together. dont be depressed.
and about your mom, they have rough days just like you do. just walk into the room and give her a hug. tell her you love her.
please be careful shoveling !!! as long as ur careful you should be okay to shovel the driveway.
... smile. life could be so much worse

Well you shouldnt be having sex if you dont have anytime! Da

I know how you feel, often i am so overwhelmed with bills and all that. We are losing our home. But you have to know that eventually things will even out and get better. As for being pregnant you should either do the morning after pill if its not too late and you dont really want to have ababy. Or wait it out until your period then go to the doctor to decide your options. As for the animals i know it can be tough with them, they do require a lot of time i have 5 so i can sympathize with you. Do you have any friends who could help you out?

if you are depressed you should go see someone but if thats not possible right now do something to distract yourself, call someone or anything.don't let these thoughts taking over your life.(i hope you know what i mean).to be with friends it doesn't nessasaryly means that you have to go out.you can go to a friend's house or somewhere.just be with them.try not to be so alone.the best thing to do is see someone you know like a psychologist or anything.

Take a breath. Breath in an out and stop putting yourself through the ringer God loves you and he is there to help you. I know you got a lot on your mind but take a quiet time to relax. Do something to get your mind off things for a minute. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Take it from someone who also get sad and down somtimes.

poor you...
just to let you know your problems are not problems...you live at home still...and its your problem if you don't have money ....i feel sorry for your child if you are pregnant.. you sound like a very immature person.

Relax, take a deep breath.

You're gonna be alright kiddo.

No one doubts that life is tough, hard, and unforgiving.

But there ways to get you life back on track.

I would

1) Check to make sure you really are pregnant
and if you are -- thats a whole other enchilada
to be tackled later
2) Drop the volunteer job -- you have no time for it
3) FOCUS on college -- this is most important
4) *** take a few minutes each to lay on your bed,
relax and empty your mind of aggressive
anxious thoughts and think about positive
things -- you still have practically your whole
life in front of you. Be a mental cheerleader
and rally yourself. You may be down and out
right now but greater comebacks have
happened before. Believe in yourself!

It is probably best that you are living at home for the time being. Maybe you will be out of college soon. At that time you will be able to make more money so you could plan to move out.
I wish I could help you shovel. I do not have to shovel so sometimes I think I might like to shovel.
If you are not sure if you are pregnant, just lift small amounts of snow at a time. If you see kids outside, ask them to help you.
You have a busy schedule. I hope you will feel better about everything soon.
