I'm totally wrecked.
I can simply do freelance work or something like that since I'm a designer, but my moodiness and lack of control of my triggers just make me feel doubtful of myself. My depression is taking a toll these past months and I can't seem to produce anything for my portfolio, it's hard to make myself eat, let alone finish my work.
Can I really survive? How can I earn money with this instability? I don't even trust myself anymore.

I agree that most university students are not really ''industry-ready''. I'm not sure if you're in therapy. If not, this maybe is something to look into (different sorts of therapy to help with moods and triggers etc)
