I think you should kinda help her, because short term can become long term, messy life.
[QUOTE=Mlisen14;32418773]Is it possible that people get short term temporary depression that's entirely linked to stress and workload? I know someone doing their final months at school and trying so hard to get one of the top scores because that's what she needs to get into a certain course. She's been crying to herself for ages every couple of days and is finding it hard to handle even getting spoken to harshly. This is all causing her to have no tolerance for seeing people and she thinks she's a non-functioning person because of this. Thinking that of course makes her more sad. I think it's mainly to do with school because she's never been this sad all of the time. I've been saying it's okay to cry and be upset but there's only two months left until she's finished school and she shouldn't work herself to the bone if this is the result. I don't know anything about depression so I'm hesitant to talk to her about it like it's anything more than stress, but when she cries every second day it strikes me as more serious.[/QUOTE]Talk to her, don't let it spiral out of control. It probably is last minute stress, I have this really bad, but nevertheless, try to found out if there's some subliminal problem.
I wish what I had can stay in some semblance of order, It sucks when I do nothing and everything crashes down on my head.
[QUOTE=Pedro the Fuzzy;32420265]Talk to her, don't let it spiral out of control. It probably is last minute stress, I have this really bad, but nevertheless, try to found out if there's some subliminal problem.[/QUOTE] I'm thinking it's possibly the fact that she's taking the pill and it's making her mood swing a lot more dramatically. Yesterday she went between being as cheerful as I've seen her to almost crying for no reason I could see. I talk to her about it all the time and she's said that there's never anything really bad that sets her off, just things like her mum being angry at her brother and stuff. I've asked her if she's thought about going to the doctor about it but she doesn't want to end up having to take a short course of anti depressants that will just make her feel nothing. She'd rather feel sad and then happy than just blank all the time.

I've got an Anxiety Disorder, makes me anxious over things I should not be anxoius about
Well last night was fun, I ended up getting a black eye when trying to break up a fight and then I drunkenly called my ex and ruined every chance of friendship we had between us. fuck
I'm assuming it's a safe bet that if my entire family has a history of depression, I'll have it in some form as well? If so, everything begins to makes sense... Lately, I've just been incredibly fatigued, to the point of getting home from school and napping. Doctor thinks it's depression, so now I'm on the road to seeing someone. Which honestly, I can't wait for. Probably need hours to spill everything that's fucked up. Sure, parents realize that this is a possibility, but that's only for one small thing. What do you do when it's the family itself that may be causing all this? This really leaves me with no one to talk too, and I wish I could. I wish I could just spend an hour or two, and just confide in someone. Yeah...
Been up for nearly 40 hours now and for some reason I don't exactly feel the need to sleep since I feel very productive and active like this (albiet my memory and concentration skills are being severely hammered). Actually you know what, fuck it, my body wants to sleep now I've been awake long enough. I predict that the next few days are so gonna be like this though, me feeling hyperactive and incredibly productive until I slip back into my original depressive state.
I make almost no money, have a shitty apartment (That I can barely afford) I have actually asked FPers for money so I wouldn't get evicted, and the other day someone stole my wallet on the subway. I now owe 432$ from my visa and over 120$ to FPers. It was fine when it was the FPers, but with that 432 to visa I cant pay for my apartment or my tuition. I now get to drop out of school and move back to my shithole home town with my parents and get a job as a cook at mcdonalds for the next couple of years until I make enough money to go back to my school. Ill be the oldest one in my class and I know that ill fail. Fuck. All because of 432$. So, ive been thinking about what do do, drink away the rest of my money until I cant feel my legs then shoot myself in the head - or don't drink and shoot myself in the head. All because of 432$. Can my parents lend me money? No. Can my "friends" lend me money? No. Mabe a bullet to the brain will be better than this shit. Oh, and I was already depressed before this. FUCK.
Take the long road and don't think about what you owe. You have already got a plan in your post, I don't see why it would be a bad thing to live with your parents until you fixed your debt. Think about what it will be like when you're done instead of thinking about what you have to do.

I hate my parents, we have completely opposite ideas and all they do is argue all day, its madening. Im thinking about asking for money on facepunch just like when I was going to be evicted, but I doubt that people are actually going to donate to me.
How do you depressionistas feel about nostalgia? Do you (personally) experience it more intensely or less? View to a better time, or the same grey blurgh?

I see you're Canadian, I recommend either going to your bank or looking up your province's student loan programs. More often than not, they have emergency loan programs that can get you money for situations like this almost instantly, and it's interest-free until you're out of school. As for somewhere to live, talk to your landlord and if they don't give you an extension on rent ask a classmate if you can crash on their couch. And if you do end up having to drop out, remember that you still get to keep all of the credits you've earned so far so nothing is really wasted.

I am allthough, thinking about not drinking myself to death and possibly asking people on FP for small loans again. Allthough I cant be sure when they will get it back, due to my ridiculously small income. If people lent me money, and it added up to the 432$ that I needed I would be unbelieveibly grateful, and I dont give a shit how long it takes, but ill pay them back. I just dont know what section to post in :/
I don't think government student loans do a very extensive credit check, you're pretty much guaranteed to get them as long as you're not already rich and assuming you remain a full-time student. If you DO get evicted and want some really wacky unorthodox places to stay for free, try a buddhist temple. I'm serious. Most will allow you to stay for free as long as you want provided you follow their rules (and help out a bit). I've looked into actually doing a "buddhist retreat" myself.

I am a bit out of synch with my brain - nothing major at this stage in my life, but it used to be bad, and when I take tests dealing with mental health and shiz, I always end up with wrong a wrong diagnosis. What my doctor says is not in any way the same as what the tests say. So calm down. Now, another thing I'd like to point out is that if you go around thinking you're depressed, you will only make matters worse. I'm not saying you should shut that part of your brain down and just burry it within, but try to stay as positive you can, and realise that this is not the end of the world. There is light, you just have to find it. Dwelling on your own misery never helped anyone. Get out there and seek out happiness.

It's a shitty idea but you could get a cash advance on your Visa to cover rent and just pay off the minimum balance until you get back on your feet. Absolutely don't make a habit of it, but spending a bit of extra money later in interest is better than becoming homeless. You seem fairly responsible with your money, but just found yourself in a bad situation, so you could probably manage debt okay.
