Everyone is different so theres nothing wrong with feeling depressed over something, although you don't want to feel depressed obviously. I felt depressed when i lost my job years ago and didn't have much money but i'm back on my feet with a job and money now and just about make enough to live on. Most of the reasons i was depressed then was because i wasn't happy that i couldn't provide for my family or have the odd fun day out which cheers everyone up.

you are not alone feeling this way about having little money but think about what you can do without spending too much but still have fun. a picnic is cheaper than a resturant meal, staying at home with friends when everyone brings a part of the meal and a drink will allow you to have fun with friends without spending too much. reading a good book or watching a good film about somewhere you cannot afford to visit yet can take you on a cheap fantasy adventure. have a makeup swap/clothes swap day with friends or family women and i am sure you will have a good laugh and all feel better for being together.

Oh do I know this feeling well, as I lost my job early this year and this is the first time I have ever been unemployed with absolutely no income. It gets extremely overwhelming with the feelings of utter complete emptiness, but the only alternative is stay calm so we can think clearly and try to find some remedy. Good Luck to you and I hope you find some resolution soon.

I feel the same way. I need cash so bad. There are things I want to buy like clothes, makeup, shoes and pants. But they are so expensive. I can't ask for my parents to buy me those. They already spent a lot of money for my trainings. I feel depress sometimes, especially when my sisters have new things from their earnings on their offline job. I can't wait to work now. But I'll be missing myLot if I have a real job. :(
