I'm sorry things are so hard. I understand what you're talking about--I ran into that when I was working on both of my masters degrees and have been running into it with things around here and work I need to do for my job. One thing you need to check is if there is a support group on campus or somewhere in town you can join. The other thing is to check and see if the university offers services to support students with mental illness. At the school I was at they had therapists on campus for people with mental illness and had services through disabled student services. Basically they were able to make it to where I had to be allowed to miss more than a regular student. It was a Godsend at times.

My other advice would be to ask for help with things around the house. There's no shame in that. See your psych as soon as possible and keep us updated on how you're doing.
