stress
I seem to be getting really stressed out and depressed probably because of working a lot from my job, and working endlessly at school. I can't give up neither because I want to graduate and also, have money for the Holidays this year and the following years. Going back and forth between the two just stresses me out, and I never get a day off. I can't remember the last time I had a day off. Also, it's affecting my social life at school. Since I am always tired and stressed, I start to lose interest of hanging out with friends. I am almost always quiet at the lunch table, when I used to be loud and happy before this school year started. I miss the old days, and I just can't seem to gain my interest of being with my friends. And because of that, I am slowly drifting apart from my best friends, and it makes me even more depressed. I am asking if you have any advice how I can gain happiness in life and general, keeping my job and staying school, and getting close with my best friends again.
I apoligize for the long message. I hope you can help =]. Thanks in advance!

Hi=]
If you're in high school, talk to your parents about only having a job during the summer if at all possible. Not holding a job might mean giving up privileges such as driving (if you do drive) and anything else you may help pay for or pay for completely by yourself. I personally think it's worth giving up those privileges if it means one less thing off of your mind and one less thing taking up your time (your job). This will give you time after school to study and finish your school work without the distraction and stress of a job. School itself is extremely stressful.
If you insist on keeping your job, talk to your boss about scheduling you for shorter hours or fewer days during the week so you can still focus on school.
For your friends, try and devote one day a week (preferably weekend)to hanging out with them at their house, the mall, movies, etc.
As for general happiness, take one hour out of your busy schedule a day and just relax. Listen to music, watch TV, write, take a walk, etc.
I hope this helps.
