Idk if this is what “depression” is or feels like, But I’m a 25 year old college student/doordash driver and my tags were dead on a car I got from my parents before they moved overseas. I never really looked at the tags and they just hit a year on being done. I was headed home to eat lunch and got pulled over. Cop gave me a ticket, and then Told me I had to get my car towed home. I come from poor poor Eastern European immigrants who went back home cause America wasn’t for them and they wanted to “die back home.” I was literally right around the corner from my apartment. Tow truck cost 160$, which was my entire checking account cause im finishing up school and I’m broke as fuck and rent and all that just hit. I was able to pay for the tow truck, but Im left with 4.95 left in my checking account. I have to go to class at 6:30 today (about an hour away) and had to lie and say I had Covid symptoms cause I didn’t want to get in trouble for “skipping” class. Im so fucking close to my degree, but I literally don’t know what to do now. I relied on doordashing to survive and pay bills and all that while I finish this last semester and I don’t even want to begin to think about how im gunna pay the 60 bucks to register the car again, much less however much the Uber is gunna cost to get to the dmv so I can start dashing again. I’m more or less an orphan since literally my entire “family” lives on the other side of the world, and I’ve never been able to really talk to anyone in my family about stuff like this cause they all compare it to growing up in ex-Yugoslavia.  I’ve never really felt “depressed” or anything like that but im breathing heavy and it feels like my throat is closing and im just freaking out.
