In tough moments like these, remember the wonderful things you have already accomplished compared to a few years ago - school, girlfriend, developing goals. Those are just wonderful!
As to the anxiety, what about safe things which lower stress hormones: exercise, meditation, deep breathing, and also perhaps herbs like rhodiola rosea and amino acids like phosphadatylserine? You could do one of the saliva cortisol tests and see where your levels are before and after you start these things which are known to lower cortisol. Because excess stress hormones are connected to depression, you would be treating both anxiety and depression in a safe manner. What do you think - worth a try?
