Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
today I am in a depressed state. My hours got cut at work. For the month of November, I will be bringing home a grand total of $645 *before* taxes. That's not even enough to pay ONE of my student loan bills this month. *exasperated sigh* sorry, just needed to rant.
I've been doing okay.. today is my first bout of noticeable depression in the past month

Job loss is one of the main stressors for depression, and having your hours cut to that level might as well be job loss. It's normal to feel more depressed. Can you get a second job. even in this economy? Is a second job an option for you? Anything that will help bring in some extra money. I know that $645 a month would barely pay my rent and electricity, not to mention phone and food and gas for the truck.
Don't get too concerned about being more depressed. I think anyone would get depressed in your situation.
