school help: I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel and I feel like I am about to lose this battle.

I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel and I feel like I am about to lose this battle.

I have had about two months to work on my incomplete work from last quarter and of course I procrastinated. I actually did try getting a lot of the work done a couple of weeks ago but I had my meds switched and I crashed from the switch. Since then I have been just as depressed as I was before I started on my meds. I realized today that unless I don’t sleep or do anything for the next 24 hours, there is no way I am going to be able to get my work done. This scares me because I need to pass these classes so that I can graduate. My professors need to turn in my grades by Friday and I don’t have any of my stuff complete. I do not know what I am going to do. I have not been able to stop crying and people have told me all day I look like death. I have even been thinking about death even though I know that is NOT the answer and I never would. I just can’t bring myself to look at the good that is going to come out of this. I am so overwhelmed and it seems like every second it is just piling on more and more. I feel like I am becoming trapped in my own body and I need to find a way to get out. I actually worry that I may get even more depressed as the night goes on because I can only imagine how I am now, but worse. I would have gone to see my counselor today but I had no time. I just don’t care anymore, but at the same time I do.

omg i know where you’re coming from, i get so panicked about work. i was crying earlier on today because i know im not going to get it done. dont worry though hun- as my mum always says think about what is important in life- people you love and happiness, it is not the end of the world. worst that happens you have to be in education longer etc… none of it matters in the long run. just calm down and get some sleep before you do anything. you will wake up refreshed. and PRIORITISE. dont bother with stuff that isnt important. you can do it.

Well I would have to go to our Dean’s office and find out because it is our school’s policy that our incomplete grades need to be turned in by a certain day, which is this Friday. I have four classes that I have work that needs turned in.

My other worry is that I won’t have money to stay an extra quarter. I will have reached my max loans for school in the fall, when I am supposed to graduate. On top of that, I’m stressed because I over drew my bank account last week and my sister won’t help and I don’t want to tell my mom. Well now I have no money to buy my meds that I need to take and I have no money to put gas in my car to get to my field experience. I am being sued for a credit card plus I owe so much money for medical bills and auto repair bills. This is when I just think I can’t take any more.

This makes me think of something… In war if you send in troops and they get overwhelmed by opposing force, you retreat. Sounds to me like your losing a lot of troops cut your losses, retreat and regroup. ORDER OF PRIORITY
1. MEDS COME FIRST-after all what good is anything if you crash and burn?
2. FOOD-Eating is a in the top 5 to stay alive
3. Shelter-if you dont have somewhere to sleep, you will get sick.
4. Bills-fuel, clothes, car insurance ect..
5. Education- skills to get a good paying job and better your living conditions.

It comes in that order, there is no ifs ands or buts.
STOP
making new debts
liquidate whatever you can
this should get you headed in the right direction
