Hi, Christina! This is just a drive-by opinion I think others have already expressed above: Is it possible that you, apart from any subjective feelings, ARE ACTUALLY
- overworked
- under-appreciated
- overburdened
- underpaid
- overtired, and
- under extreme stress?
Could it be that the way you feel is a
normal, rational reaction to your current circumstances, those accompanying a financially broke student in the final months before graduation?
I believe your first quote above captures the real danger -- that these temporary circumstances trigger a real depressive episode. You know yourself best. May you find ways to keep yourself from sinking into "that big icky pit of horribleness" for the next several months.
