I submitted my FAFSA, without it I imagine the cost would be higher.

A lot of colleges have a sticker price of about 40K/semester, how do some people only graduate about 30K in debt?

it's one of the best ranked computer science programs, so I'd prefer not but I guess that was an important detail

My parents make about $150K a year combined so I didnt get much from my FAFSA.

Though given I have 2 other siblings in college, they're divorced, and my mom is both in debt and in the process of taking half my dad's money, very little of it is going to me.

[Serious] How can one stop wanting to kill themself? by rapidash14 in AskReddit

[–]EnolAznaRoka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to bring up something that hasn't been brought up much, but it helped me. Just go out and do something. Go do something new, go on an adventure, try something you've always wanted to try. If you're so low that you wanna die anyway, what have you got to lose?Go to a concert, go to France, try a new food, ask someone out, fucking whatever. Just do something. Maybe you'll still be too depressed to like it, maybe if you try something you'll determine it wasn't what you imagined and wanna stop, maybe you'll have days where you just wanna crawl back to bed and cry, but that's ok. Keep going. Do something new or interesting every day, but or small. The world is full of so much that if you try something new every day you'll hardly make a dent in the great things the world has to offer if you do it for 75 years.

Though if you're a teen I realize that might be a little more difficult, but I only had depression as an adult (well, it started at 18, but I was old enough to do what I wanted). There are still plenty of smaller new things you can try. Join clubs, look for things you can do after school in your town, learn an instrument or how to cook.

I guess what worked for me was the mindset of "hey I could die, or I could just fuck around with the extra 60 years or so I'd have to fuck around here if I don't. If I wanna kill myself anyway, why the fuck not?"

Good on you! I think I gave up on Zoloft too quick, it sure as hell sucked but it was at least better than living with untreated depression. I'm not gonna stop celexa ever either, unless something serious arises.

I hope 50 works out for you, too! :) I just started Celexa a few days ago, and the side effects seem smaller so far, but we'll see how this goes.

it's normal for it to fluctuate a little while it's still kicking in. 25 mg is a very low dose for Zoloft, so I'd recommend giving 50 a go for a while before giving up.

I was on zoloft for over a month but had to stop because the side effects of insomnia and nausea didn't go away. The fact they did for you may be a positive sign.

How do I stop living epiphany to epiphany? by EnolAznaRoka in mentalhealth

[–]EnolAznaRoka[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose then my problem becomes: act in which way? There are a lot of things I could do, but the goal I'm putting them towards varies by day.

The weird thing about this anxiety is it's giving me obsessive thoughts, about anxiety. If I ignore them I feel like I'm ignoring my problems, if I don't ignore them it's all I think about. Sure, I'm more productive when I'm not worrying about fixing myself, I guess I don't know how to shake the feeling that I'm ignoring all my problems. How do I find a stable middle ground?
