Feeling miserable depressed all the time?

[Fort Lauderdale guy]

I feel so depressed lately. My family life is great and I have good friends but I get so miserable at work and with this girl. I really like this girl but I literally don't know her though. I went to school with her sister but never talked to her she was a year ahead (it's her younger sister I like we are same age, 18 but different high schools) and she is going to be going to college at the cafeteria I work at (at the college). I am going to a community college next year so I won’t be able to see her (same town). I know our futures won’t work out especially since she doesn’t know me and it could get really awkward trying to introduce myself i see her all over social media. I really like my job since I make good money but I work doubles and get all stressed out every weekend and feel miserable but need the money for a car. I could stay at this cafeteria job during the summer or go back to a local restaurant I worked during the summer and start in May. I wouldn’t have to worry about seeing this girl and wouldn’t be so stressed out but can’t decide. Should I go back to the local restaurant in May or stay miserable at my current place?This has been really bothering me.

Get that car first and foremost. Resist the short-term urge. That car is more important. Once you get the car, you can meet her ALL you WANT. Think of it as your reward.

Have a family member or mentor sit down with you and hash out what would be the most wise choice for you for the short term and long term. You don't want to be miserable but you also want to get what you want like a car. Write down how long it would take to get the money for your car and see if you can handle that working schedule to accomplish that goal. If so then cross that off, if not, set up a new goal.

You can go back to the restaurant in May if that is a better option. Just sit down and create a path that feel like a compromise and balance for your life. You don't have to sacrifice to get what you want. You also should find time to enjoy yourself with fun and friends. It can all be accomplished with good planning. You can do it.
