I'm 24 and I am completely overwhelmed and have noone to talk to about it. I am married but i'm not sure if I can talk to him about this. I'm a full time college student and I work full time. We live with his parents in the basement and he is currently unemployed because he needs to graduate in december from college and has to student teach full time, I support him in this. I just feel so overwhelmed. My parents don't care, his parents don't care. I feel alone. I'm at this new college and everyone is alot smarter than me and I feel like I am falling farther and farther behind. I can't sleep, I have trouble eating, I have no friends. Sometimes, I don't even feel like getting out of bed. I need help.

I can relate to you, the depression can take every thing away that you have like job, loosing your home, and falling behind on bills, I even lost my marriage.

So you want to get to the doctor and get started on medication before it gets worse. It took me 6 months to level out on my medication.

I don't have any friends, but I do have a sister that suffers the same mental illness problems as me. We support each other.

I have OCD (obsessive / compulsive disorder), PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), BPD (borderline personality), BP (bipolar I), and ADHD (attention deficit disorder).

My sister has PTSD, Bipolar II, borderline pwrsonality, and Panic Disorder.

If you ever just want to talk by pms here on the board, or by e-mail or by phone - you can just send me a pm and let me know.

I went through a divorce and suffered depression for 6 months before my meds kicked in. I am free from the depression, but I feel like a zombie on the meds. I take Geodone for Bipolar I

What are you taking in college?, my husband is in online college for animation and web design. I went to school for automotive and truck driving. I have also had some computer classes in windows, excel, and word processor.

I am not working now, but I post at a board that pays me a little money on the side, it is not a real job though.

What kind of work do you do now? Are you happy with the job or is there something else you think you might be happier doing?

What are your hobbies? I like handwriting analysis, I like playing games on the computer, I also like teaching people about understanding credit reports and the laws covering the credit reporting agencies. I use to work for a credit bureau.

Well look forward to hearing back from you, take care.
