I am really depressed and need some ideas and encouragement, can you help me??? please!

Question

Hi so I feel very depressed right now because I am supposed to be going to community college but it starts in 10 days and for lack of transportation it doesnt look like i will make it this year. i just graduated high school this june and I was really looking forward to making some friends. My lack of transportation is due to my family not having enough money and the same for me because my mom is a single mom who gets no child support. and the bus route is ridiculous and it would talk about and hour to walk to the stop and i would have to get on a bus which takes me to bart, wait for another bus to take me to a stop to walk to campus, its way out of my way and i would have to wake up at like 4. its too stressful.

i was thinking, i can quit my crappy job at the grocery store that i hate and get a full time job at the borders book store which is nearby, instead! this way i can work for a year, full time, save up for a new or used car along with new clothes, which i need, school stuff, computer memory and little extra things for me. i love borders and it seems pretty relaxing there i love the atmosphere. i feel like a loser for doing this instead of going to college but right night august i will enroll and go, is this a good idea? or not?

i feel very lonely and depressed and lost about my future all because i dont have enough money! i would have saved enough from my job i have now but i had to use all of it on either toiletrees or food/gas/bills.rent for my family this past year since my mom got laid off. help!

Answer 1

ok

you are really stessed

try contacting the school to see if they have dorms you can maybe use so instead of waking up at 4 every day  

you could wake up at 4 once and stay at school in the dorms

if that can happen then request one next year and work this year

also try a relative or a friend who can drvie you good luck

Answer 2

Look on the net for $$ grants or other organizations that might help you.

I was in you situation at your age too and did not know about all the programs they have for ppl like you.  

Just look, look, look, I had a Friend who got a lot of money for having a math phobia.

Although life may seem unbearable and dark - answers and comfort can be found in the Bible.  If you ask in His name and believe in your heart - the Lord can truly remove your burden.  You have worked hard and sound like a level headed individual.  As you yourself work through this situation with your earthly self - lean on the Lord.  He has answers anblessing'sngs we could never have dreamed on our own.  I will keep you and your family (mom) in my prayers.  God's Blessings to you ~

Answer 4
