Hi, sorry to hear you are so miserable. Getting help and taking care of yourself is a high priority. If your health is suffering, it may be necessary to consider what other options are possible.

Some schools have counseling and might be able to refer you to other professionals.

Financing college is expensive. Sometimes it is necessary to work more hours and take fewer classes.

Have you talked to the finance aid officer at your college? Oftentimes you can get loans that are much better rates than credit card rates and student loans do not have to be paid back as soon as credit cards. At 18% interest a credit card can double or triple in a few years if payments are skipped and penalties occur.

What about Work Study? That can be better than getting a job.

The forums are a way to share your story and also read other people's stories and share with them as well.
