Worried and semi depressed

[MermaidSaku]

hey guys,
i know it's been a while since i have said anything on the forum and i am very sorry. ;-; College is draining the life out of me and lets just say the money too. Financial aid didn't give me enough money this semester so i ended up having to use my mertail money till i get the 400 from the refund. But even that isn't enough i had 800 when i started school and now it's down to 200. tat money was or my mermaid tail but i had no other choice but to use the money to help me with school. i didn't want to take the loan and owe them a huge amount of money i know i would never be able to pay back ;-;. Also i am feeling the pressure of being on academic probation.. i don't get my G.P.A up this semester financial aid won't pay for me to come back... So a lot has been going on. i'm scared i may never get a tail now and i worked so hard to get it.I wouldn't have donated plasma so much if didn't. I definitely feel depressed and like this is more than just a minor set back. My dream was right around the corner and now i dunno what to do.. i will try to write more on the forum when i get the chance.

I understand It's very hard when you're in school. I am in my 7th year and you know what? I dont have my driving license. It costs 1000$ and every time I save up that amount it ends up going toward school or cost of living while in school! Every single damn time! I've literally been trying for 7 years to get enough for the driving course and nope.
I would have never been able to afford mermaid tails without help. Tell people you want $$ for your birthday, christmas, etc to go toward it and hopefully you'll get enough

Set backs are a part of life, we just have to get through them.

You're young, which means you'll have a lot of triumphs to look forward to as well as the occasional set back.

I can sympathize with you, I really do. I can't get a 1-3000 dollar tail right now period. I am paying for my family's food/power bill, vet bills, and school. I had to take out loans to cover my school this semester. x3x
So yeah, I am just happy with my mono-fin/making my own fabric tail for right now.

Maybe think to about it this way; Once you get school done, you will have a job and will probably have an easier time saving up for a tail. And what if you hadn't of had that money for school? You wouldn't have been able to go at all. And you are getting the 400 back. Its not like its gone right? I know its hard to think positively at times like this..but it can really help you keep sane. ( Talking from experience! )
Focus on your grades is what I would recommended doing. That is the important thing for you to do right now so you can stay in school. <3 I know its rough, but some times you just have to bite the bullet and study like mad/do what ever it takes to get that B or C or A. I know its hard, I flunked my first semester! But, I bounced back. <3 I am sure you can as well. I believe in you! -hug-

I'm sorry you're having trouble, but you can at least rest knowing you're doing the right thing for your future by using your money for your education. Look at it this way- at least you had the money stashed somewhere to use in this tough time. Look, I know it's really hard and incredibly frustrating to be so close to something and then have to divert your attention and effort when a dream come true is right at your finger tips, but sometimes the timing just isn't right. Things happen the way they do for a reason, and all things are temporary. I know you'll be ok- we all have faith in each other, and I have faith in you.

Oh beautiful Saku. *hugs, and adjusts the moon to shine some hopeful light on you* I know how you feel, dear. I graduated high school in 2007, tried going to college for 3 1/2 years, and failed many of my classes miserably. Academia has never been my strong suit, and I didn't apply myself the way I should have, and am now paying for it (literally - $15,000 of loans). I'm taking an extended break from school until I can move out, pay off my loans, and figure out what I really want to do - especially now that my lifelong dream of being a mermaid has finally come true.

Chin up, buttercup. Look at the glass half-full, and focus on the small positives that help add up in the big picture. And always remember that we're here for you, our mersister. <3

I completely understand I had to do the same thing with my tail savings only it was for rent and groceries. It sucks and will take what seems like half a lifetime to get back (it wont be though) just make sure you are doing what you have to pass school. Make sure you get enough sleep, take it from me college takes more out of you then you notice and if you don't get enough sleep consecutively it will cause major problems health wise.

I’ve felt worried and semi-depressed also, and I realized the cause was discomfort at my workplace. The stress and lack of a proper environment really affected my mood. That’s why I believe corporate health and wellbeing programs are so important. They help reduce stress and prevent burnout, making a big difference in how we feel and perform at work.
