-->I've been rejected from various internship positions
-->I am behind on my school work and it just keeps piling up

-->After I filed my loans I get a bill from my school saying I owe them $1,000 and i have to pay soon

I've never been a person to bitch about my problems but for once in my life this stuff is really weighing me down. I've never really been one to have things get me down but now I have this deep feeling of depression, I know that there are many other people in far worse situations but I can't help but feel like the world is on my back. Normally, I'd tell myself to suck it up, kick my self in the ass and pull myself up by my bootstraps but now it just doesn't seem to do it.

Where do you start when you feel like everything is going to hell and a half? I know people are going to say shit like squatz and be a hero and kill yourself. But I'm just looking for some honest answers. What would you do if you were in my situation? How do you deal with the weight of the world?

Assuming you are not a troll. I sympathize, I would hate to be in your situation.
I, like a lot of people, have been in situations where I feel like there is no escape, and that I don't know what to do.

first of all, try not to think about all of your problems, concentrate on one of them and sort that out... ie instead of spending time on 4chan, do some school work... I probably sound like your parents at this point, but bare with me.

look for something to channel your emotions, join a gym or start playing an instrument. Don't give up searching for jobs and stuff, cos the one you get could be right around the corner.

You need to be more pro active. Plan things, take things one step at a time. Don't turn to drink.

>>399303do that.

I can relate, I feel very trapped and feel like everything is going down the shitter. A good workout does help, it's theraputic and gets the endorphins going. So, SQUAWTZ. Srsly though.

-->My dad is over weight and has heart problems
help him with his diet, ask him to consult his doctor about exercise
-->Both my mother and father stand to lose their jobs because of the shitty economy
hasn't happened yet,no point worrying
-->It looks like I'm going to lose my computer because I wasn't able to do all my assignments from my 2nd job
how expensive was your computer?!
-->I've been rejected from various internship positions
man up, and keep trying.
-->I am behind on my school work and it just keeps piling up
Make a plan of the work required and spread it in the time you have, stop posting on 4chan.
-->I don't sleep well at night any more and am frequently plagued by the feeling of loneliness (no girlfriend)
OK, I'm pathetic in this regard but just go to somewhere that interests you I suppose, e.g. bookstore, there'll be chicks outside, but not in /basement.
-->I'm about to graduate soon and have no job lined up
Look for a job, don't expect anything too glamorous
->After I filed my loans I get a bill from my school saying I owe them $1,000 and i have to pay soon
save the money and pay them rather than living beyond your means? cut back on whatever you can to make sure you can pay them back.

Go to a therapist, holy shit.
Everyone

has problems, honey. You're no special snowflake. Do well in school, for one, and you wouldn't have these money problems. And I swear to fucking god you will never find a girlfriend if you're crying about not having one. People call that being desperate and no girl but an equally desperate ugly cumbucket would ever come crawling to you.

You have no job lined up? Okay then work at a fucking shit job for a while until you find one. Life ain't peaches buttfucker.

>weight of the world
KILL YOURSELF
If you think you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, people with real problems would like to stick a boot up your ass, you whiny little bitch.

There's no shame in seeing a shrink, I've seen one for 5 years and it's helped me a lot. I mean, you came to 4chan for help on this problem, so why not go see somebody who actually knows better than us about what they're talking about? =P Good luck, it'll all work out in the long run.

Seriously, I can relate. Shit is horrible right now, especially if you're broke.

Honestly, there's a few things I do to help me chill out. One thing I discovered last week is that when I get super pissed or depressed, I would go for a walk. It may sound stupid, but it actually helped. All the pent up anger and energy would get used and I felt much calmer afterwards and able to think straight.

Another thing is, write. Write down your thoughts. Doesn't matter if you're good or not. Just pour it all out onto a piece of paper and then burn it. It's another way of helping you just "let go" of it all.

If you're more of the organized and orderly type, what I would suggest is to write down all your issues on a piece of paper and list them in order of importance (like getting a job, doing school work, etc.) Create a second column and list ideas of how you want to go about accomplishing said tasks.

As for the school, go up to your schools financial aid department (or whoever handles tuition at your particular school) and talk to them about the $1k. Ask if you can work something out. Worst comes to worst, they'll say no, but at least you tried.

Good luck, and just know you're not the only one. Just try and take shit one day at a time.

people with money problems fucking deserve it. Learn to save and THINK before you act.

14 years ago I didn't speak a word of english. We were receiving welfare and food stamps. Now I pay 35% in tax a year and just quit my job to persue my own projects, in this economy! Not saying i'm a big shot now but fuck all that hard work paid off. I never bought anything I didn't need and I weighed options before I spend. You don't have to be cheap, but be thrifty.

And have you ever fucking heard of financial aids, scholarships? You can get a 1000 bucks for just writting a good essay. My brother is at UC Davis and he's not paying a dime in tuition.

Shit son, I feel sorry for you. Grow the fuck up.

not everyone deserves the position they are in. you don't get to make that call.. you are not a god.

I know many people in the same position and I myself have chronic depression. Find what makes you happy and indulge a little or take the hard road and instill discipline upon yourself to do the things you do not want to do.

Choose to not be lazy in these hard times.

Oh man OP let me cry you a fucking river. You wanna hear a story? How about mine, back when I was 16 I lived with my Mother and Sister. My Sister was severly depressed and would cut herself. I had to fall asleep hearing her scream, and my mom crying in her room because of it. My Sister moved out and it was just my mother and I now, soon after she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I had no friends, and was bullied at school continuously, my only escape was playing online video games. She died a year later my sophomore year in high school, I was alone with no family to seek help from. I ended up dropping out since I was unable to keep up with school work and make it to school on time. I had no money and couldn't even afford to feed my fucking dog. Fast forward 3 years,
I didn't fucking give up because I knew I was stronger than that. I have a full time job and will begin going to college soon. In summery OP, don't let trivial problems fog your vision.

I went to the doctor and got some medications. If you are like me and have no insurance, go to asian doctor and tell him/her you want a special price for consultation.

Second, you probably younger than me. I am 34. I am applying to pharmacy school... and if I am accepted, I will need a loan of $500k!! It is not a joke. $200k just for the school and $100k/year for living expense. If it still doesn't make you feel any better, email me... but dont expect a quick answer. I am studying everyday until 3am and wake up at 6am to finish 2 classes.

Make a schedule
prioritize your shits
when you can't motivate yourself to do something just Yell... "TITAN'S RAGE" like kratos for real or just think it (like i do). Ask your friends for help. Tell yourself you are one lean mean fighting machine. If you are taking a dump, do something productive like review your notes. If you are eating cereal, be sorting out your bills. Multi task! Find any free time. And only use the computer when it's absolutely necessary. Remind yourself that this is just the last grind till you start your REAL life

This is why faggots like you are in this mess. Families make less than $35k/year and they can still live comfortably. Fuck you.

A lot of people have pretty sucky lives but if yours sucks enough you can write a book about it and rich yuppies will buy your book and contemplate over how "tragic" and "harrowing" your life was.

then you can just wait for the money to roll in

you won't feel better unless you talk to someone, preferably someone away from the situation. Depression is an illness, you don't suck for getting help, you suck if you don't.

See a GP if not a shrink. Someone trained to deal with this. It won't fix everything instantly, but it beats the shit out of doing nothing.

it's going to get a LOT worse. serious recession is coming and with it job losses, repossessions, increased stress, decreased job security and a bunch of other unpleasant stuff.

america is pretty bad because you have to cripple yourself to get an education. maybe get qualified, rack up a huge debt then move overseas.

either way the only options are to plug away every day or kill yourself. it really is quite simple when you get down to it.
