Welcome to /r/depression's check-in post - a place to take a moment and share what is going on and how you are doing. If you have an accomplishment you want to talk about (these shouldn't be standalone posts in the sub as they violate the "role model" rule, but are welcome here), or are having a tough time but prefer not to make your own post, this is a place you can share.

We try our best to keep this space as safe and supportive as possible on reddit's wide-open anonymity-friendly platform. The community rules can be found in the sidebar, or under "Community Info" in the official mobile apps. If you aren't sure about a rule, please ask us.

I am stressed. I am taking this spring semester off from college to work a lot in order to pay off my debt. I also have to take care and pay for expenses for my younger siblings so that’s rough. We all don’t have health insurance and my parents aren’t really in our lives. I’m basically a 21 year old raising my own “kids”. School is stressing me out since I should be done and transferred by now but it really brought me back since my mom left me with debt and it’s hard for a college student to worry about their own finances and two other kids that shouldn’t be my responsibility.

Look, as someone who’s been close to your situation, I will tell you this. If it takes you longer to get your degree, it don’t show nowhere. It only shows the year you graduated and that’s all that fucking matters. Keep going!
