For the past 2 years, I have been amazingly successful in life. I have an A average in university, have a loving, supportive family and a lot of friends, was gettin' laid on-the-regular, and had a deep sense of peace, balance, and focus in my life.
Then disaster came. In March- near the end of my spring semester- 2 things happened: I got laid off from my job downtown (I got to an urban campus university) and I ran out of scholarship money. During my last 2 months of school, I scoured the downtown area looking for jobs, but found absolutely none. So, with no money for living in the dorms in Fall 2009, and with no job to support me in Atlanta... I found myself moving back into the suburbs with my parents. Now, here I am, in the suburbs. My plan? To get a job out here, save up money, commute to school during Fall semester until I can move back out into Atlanta Jan-Feb 2010.
Yet, I'm stuck. I've been trying since May to find a job, with no success. I don't have a car (because I've been living in the city for so long that I've always taken the subway/bus), which I was planning to save up for and buy so I can't commute to school. What's worse, I can't find a student loan because my credit score is shitty and so are my parents' and maternal grandparents' scores (my paternal grandparents refuse to co-sign with me, saying "We've helped you enough"). So I have no money for school, no money for a car, and I'm stuck in the suburbs living with my parents at 22 years of age. After being so successful for so long, I'm stuck and can't get out.
What can I do? Any ideas on how to build up any credit before August? Any good places to get loans for a car, possibly? Time is running out for me, and with my Summer S.A.D. setting in (my Bipolar Disorder comes with seasonal depression that comes in during the hot Georgia summer... worse, I have hyperhidrosis so I sweat much much more than the average person, making it difficult for me to be outside for more than an hour in the heat), I'm feeling desperate, even suicidal... Hell, I'm even self-injuring again because I feel so hopeless and trapped (literally trapped inside my house during the daytime because I can get heatstroke way too easily), and even my psychiatrist doesn't know what to do for me.
If I don't get to school in August... I'm done. Seriously, there's no point in living when you're a weeaboo loser living with his parents unemployed and not in school and with no car.
op, stay strong, enjoy the moment (being with your family that u dont see so often) and just relax and chill.. things will fall back together eventually!
I love my family, and I love my friends. But I have 6 1/2 weeks until school starts... and things don't just "fall back together", action needs to be taken.
But even if I do get a job now, I won't be able to save up enough money for a car in time for school, and who knows if I'll be able to get a loan at this point now?
If I don't have money and things for school ready by late July... I don't know how I'm going to fucking survive.
