How does one deal with major depression while attending college?

Hi, I am currently in a cc, and I really cant get out of my depressive state. I have severe depression (for over 5 years) with some physical health stuff and it really inhibits my ability to study. I'm only in my second year and already dropped out of 4 classes and barely finished the rest but so far my grades are pretty ok.

I'm only part time now so the fact that I'm still struggling is quite embarrassing and shameful. I'm taking ssri's but I'm not sure they are helping.

I dont know what im even looking for from this post because the obvious answer is to cure depression but I just want to know it anyone else is also struggling with this.

Edit thank you all for your advice :)

CRAZY work environment

So I have been working at this Indian restaurant down in Center City Philadelphia coincidentally rhymes with beta address Falls between the 19th and 20th St. is also the 1920 building funny (do with that information what you will in the reviews) but we’ve been selling people roaches in ice and mold in beer “freezers”(a broken wine freezer at the store, beer glasses, and other glasses) crazy roast infestation and mice and we have failed the health inspection a few times just to be closed for a few days and open back up like nothing happened after a “deep clean “ unfortunately I was let go after bringing all this up to management because roaches and mice droppings have been found in food on plates and around all the kitchen

Is this swelling a symptom of TMJ? In the temple area

Picture is here

This is between the ear and eye. It fluctuates daily, sometimes it's more prominent and sometimes lesser and gives the face a very round and swollen look. Picture was taken when I had a persistent ache in the circled area.

My whole face looks very swollen :( this really sucks, I don't look like myself at all. Some days it doesnt swell as much and I look more normal.

Edit to add: my eyesight gets blurry whenever the swelling gets worse

Scientists mimicking the Big Bang accidentally turn lead into gold (from INDEPENDENT)

From the article:

“… our modern knowledge tells us the basic difference between an atom of lead and an atom of gold: the lead atom contains exactly three more protons. So, can we create a gold atom by simply pulling three protons out of a lead atom?
As it turns out, we can. But it’s not easy.
While smashing lead atoms into each other at extremely high speeds in an effort to mimic the state of the universe just after the Big Bang, physicists working on the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland incidentally produced small amounts of gold.”

My finger is swelling from possible infection after picking my nail

Edit: thanks for the advice!

I just picked on my finger, and straight away it was pretty painful

Now 3 days later it is swelling up

There is yellowish mucus coming from it, I feel a heart beat there

The entire fingertip is swollen all around, hard and painful to the touch, and I got a little sick today, and even developed a small canker sore on my inner lip

I unfortunately had to work and I work a lot with cleaning and various liquids so I guess something got inside

Let me know if there's anything I can do! :( I only used alcohol on it

How come SSRI’s do not numb my feelings but actually do the opposite?

I am very numb and dissociated by nature. When I took SSRI’s, I started experiencing more happiness and excitement.

However, I only see people say how it was the opposite for them- how they felt numb and dissociated after taking SSRI’s, and how they used to have a personality before and now they turned into a zombie.

Does this depend on what mental illness you have? I have severe depression, and I don’t feel happiness, sadness, excitement, anger, etc. I barely feel any emotions (most of the time).

So I initially feel like a zombie, and the SSRI’s actually give me energy to have a personality. How come it’s the opposite experience for me?

Edit to add: in my unprofessional and non medical opinion, I feel like SSRI’s are supposed to do what I experienced, and people who feel numb from them probably need some other medication and a reevaluation for their diagnosis. Am I correct?

Embarrassing moment that may make you laugh

About a year ago I decided to apply to restaurants in-person, with a folder of resumes.

This particular restaurant was an hour away by train, and I woke up just to go there. I made sure to dress well and look nice. When I arrived, I started panicking and couldn’t physically make myself go in. I sat on the curb about 15ft away from the entrance for 2 hours and cried for 1. In my formal attire holding a folder. I saw the employee glance at me. Then I stopped crying and went home. I did not apply.

I did this I think 1 or 2 more times. But I did get a job soon after, yay!

$120 haul for 15 items and how they came out

The total for 15 items was $118, averaging each item at about $7.80 (it adds up to $134 but I used store credits, so the final price is $118).

As you can see, most of the tops were from Banana Republic, and they were in pretty good shape. However, the only few items from other brands (excluding the bag), were a little lower quality imo. For example, the dress (slide 15) looked better in the picture than irl.

Other than that, I would say the conditions of the clothes were as stated on the website, and the sizing it pretty accurate. There is a faint scent, maybe from some sort of deodorant or cleaner on all clothes.

Either way, I’m satisfied with my purchase!! Just wanted to share my experience to spread some positivity:). Unfortunately my style isn’t that fun but I hope the review was helpful!

Edit to add: slide 16 has the wrong item label, sorry

Edit: thank you for the positive feedback:)

Anyone know anything about this?

Has anyone been at blade rave? How is it?

Edit thank you for your feedback seems like it’s more like a party than a rave

My first purchase:) satisfied

Just sharing a positive review:) I have another order coming up I’ll post it once it arrives!

I wasn’t too familiar with the brand but I did some research and it’s pretty good quality and a bit on the pricier side (200-500) so I do feel like I got a good deal! And the bag is clean, no smells, so no complaints.

Any recs for learning anatomy and physiology that’s female based that’s NOT just about the reproductive system

Hi,

I am trying to find courses and channels that do not use a male body as a base. For example, even videos describing different anatomical body planes and sections only use the male body.

When I search for female-based anatomy and physiology, I only see videos about women’s reproductive system. I would like to find content that’s regular anatomy and physiology, like the different systems etc., except that the base is a female body instead of a male one.
