Its back and stronger then ever...

I believe i have depression, but never went to a doc about it
i want to wait till May to have everything checked out. The cause i know is stress, finances, family relationships. I should be ecstatic about getting a job but now i have to find a way to get my debt out of the way and fixed by the end of the month. I would go ahead and put everything on a credit card but since i have no credit history the max i might be able to get is 500 dollars.
Plus i have to worry about a school loan for college. In August of 2007 i tried to over dose on pain pills because of the debt and everything was going fine during school and when i found out i got a job, but with that huge step forward i was punched back 10 steps. I have been think about trying to overdose again because of everything being loaded onto my shoulders. I can't tell my ma because if i talk to her about it the officer from last time told her if i were to think and talk about it to put me in a hospital. I seriously don't know what to do anymore...

Well first of all don't get a credit card! that's probably the worst thing you can do right now, life always has its ups and downs and you don't need to kill yourself just because your down right now you have to hang in there see it through to the other side.
Take it one day at a time you have a new job that's an awesome start don't think of your debt right now take it day by down and soon enough you'll have paid it off.

The best thing really is just to work through the debt.
You mention dollars, so I'm guessing your in the USA, I don't know the system over there really, in the UK we have these things called 'student loans' that help pay for colleger and uni tuition, perhaps you could get a USA equivalent??

the student loans over here in the UK are basically the exact same as normal loans, only the interest rates are around 7% instead of the usual 30%, also, try your hardest to keep your mind of the finance trouble and if you can, find a job that you like or you ar not bothered about, the worst thing you could do is get a job that you hate because you would start to think how shit that job is and that could lead to other bad things, and as a thought, could you gain any kind of benefits and use the government laws/services to your advantage?

and if you can, dont think about the finance problems away from Virtual Teen Forums, only think about it here, meybe only thinking about it here could help you solve your problem as you are not worrying about it when your not at a computer... i know it sounds ALOT EASIER than it would be... but its worth a try... isnt it? it might reduce stress levels and all that...

work through your dept then you can get a credit card. They add to the dept badly sometimes.
