So i'm depressed. everything depresses me. finding work. education. family. money. everything.

- i dont know what to take.
- i dont know what i like.
- i hate my life.

family.

- i hate them more then i appreciate them.
- parents been divorced for a few years now.
- mom doesn't care about anything. has herself in debt, about 14,000$. doesn't work. nor wants to. cant pay bills. just keeps on signing up for random services.
- sisters have no respect whatsoever.
- nobody cares about anything.
- i love this girl and her parents totally hate me. I guess i'm just not as upscale as they are.
- i hate my life.

employment.

- i dont have enough experience under my belt to work as anything.
- all i can work as is a customer service rep.
- I hate my life and job.

money.

- i need so much of it right now it's unbelievable.
- in debt about $7000.
- it's been about 3.5 years that i haven't paid my college/uni tuition.

i ve been depressed for long periods of time. and being depressed it makes your thoughts negative. you have to be positive and have a desire to makes things better.
for example.
is your loans defered, or just late & you cant use loans to go to school any more?

working at c/s job for a few years you maybe able to put that on your resume and find a better job. i started out doing that. now i have 7 years experience in accounting & i dropped out of college.
i m not close to my family, theyre like cussing saliors and i cant relate to them.

you mom may be in a rut like me. dont be so judgmental of her. talk to her and tell her how you feel w/o hurting anyone's feelings.

i m in debit $27k in student loans, they threaten to take a % of my paycheck when i work, and take my income taxes. i cant go to school b/c of this. i tried to get my transcripts & my old school said no b/c i owe them money. i pray in put it in God's hands b/c i cant do any thing about it right now. why get depressed over it.
build up your work experience, consentrate on that. one thing at a time. you'll be fine.

Good advice from ServiceU. Have you tried credit counselors? They can sometimes negotiate with creditors to reduce debt and arrange managable payments. Too, they may be able to get your transcripts released so you can get more training and a job you like better.

Some community colleges and universities have career counselors who can help you determine where your interests lie. They can also help you develop a resume to sell yourself to prospective employers.
