Aye!

I do not go to work, but my college-situation is quite a discouraging one, so I can relate.

Keeping my head above water? Drawing. Storytelling. Poetry. Playing music. Writing music. Working out. Working on my upcoming Youtube channel.
I am not going to pretend that it actually gets me 'out of the water', but at least I am not drowning.

I have that problem. It has gotten better now that I am in a job where people dont yell at me for asking questions but this feeling can seriously ruin someone

More like getting up to go to school...

Still, it has been very difficult because of my depression. Also, going to school means seeing my ex and most likely getting harassed more. I'm so glad it's summer vacation.  

I felt like that every time I've had to work a fast food job. All its done is pushed me to get better at art so I can get my dream job in a game studio.

I draw and design for a living, but it's with signs, so instead of the freedom to create form and living, breathing works, I essentially create squares and numbers repeatedly and consistently. It's such a drag, but I keep trucking on knowing that I'll eventually move on to greener pastures. Eventually, I'll get a true design job, then after that, I'll get my dream job in the gaming world after I go back to college.

Things usually work themselves out.

I am freelance, I can chose what jobs to do. 

I want to die every time the alarm clock rings. Not because of depression, but because I sleep so badly.

Well, it's either go to work or don't get money. I've just gotten used to being miserable all the time, I guess.

I don't like the concept of money, but at the same time the world revolts around it, so I guess there's nothing I can do about that.

But I'm always armed with a Rockstar drink or two to help me get through the day, it's literally happiness in a can!
That, and having some creative hobbies help keep my motivation up for the days to come.

Depression and anxiety love to heckle me.  But I took a summer job as a camp counselor.  Not easy to wake up early and force myself to be happy all the time.
Still, it makes me a little emotional when the kids give me hugs or say they want me as their leader for an activity.  Makes me realize that despite the exhaustion and turmoil in my head, I am making these kids days better.

I wake up lazy everyday. Those who can work beyond their limits are to be highly admired. I did get past the stress of high school, though.
