Hahah, fuck you, get out of here

On a long enough timeline I think things will get better, cause everyone wants things to be better.
In the mean time think of poners when you're too stressed to think of making things better.
In summary I have no answers and am full of shit.

For you: is getting a student loan an option? It doesn't sound good now but getting to pay off college debt slowly over time instead of having to struggle keeping up with everything now may be healthier. The older generation simply doesn't realize (and internally is avoiding the reality) that work culture is now toxic in the states. If you can get relief, either by cutting your hours (DO NOT LET YOUR BOSS GUILT YOU, HE NEEDS YOU MORE THAN YOU NEED HIM) or shifting the debt by getting a loan (check with your college for financial aid programs, they saved my butt when I was in college), it'll help you immensely. Getting a degree for something you're passionate about will be worth it eventually but you have to survive for now. Plus, being busy 24/7 is going to hinder you in the future for other important college experiences, like joining interest clubs / getting work internships / networking / etc.
For your friend... that's tougher. He made the decision to stay and that's not an easy one to get away from but chest pains are a worrisome sign. Maybe something that'll be better for now is to talk to him about what he wants to do in the future. Having a goal and working towards it is more helpful than you think - part of feeling stress is not knowing where to go or what to do next, but the fact he has you as a friend is already a huge step up from a lot of people's positions. If you two can talk about what would be the best next steps, well, it's better than thinking about being stuck where you are. And it's the only thing that'll help both of you know what can make things better.
Anyway, I hope that makes sense. Hope it helps. School is stressful enough as it is - if there's any way to mitigate the stress, go for it. But please, please try to not take it out on yourselves so much. Anything you do going forward has to start with you trusting yourself that you can do it. And you can. Both of you. You can get past this.

Agreed. Some fry cook job isn't worth your life dude no job is. Or get another job that's not so stressing. You have /MLP/ to life for. Also eat some damn food son don't go fully diarrhea on me never go full diarrhea on me.

Stop the xanax, cut the drinking. Eat more! I know it's hard when you have no motivation, but get calorie-packed frozen meals if you have too. I always make some instant noodles and throw some cut up vegetables, chilies, mushrooms, meat in there. Boil that stuff in the water for 10 min, add the noodles and you're good to go. Exercise some if you can. I would ride this crappy exercise bike I got from my parents while I watched /wsg/. Worked pretty well. At least 45 min and I felt good about it.

Maybe you need a different job. It's hard to find one with so many hours, but if you can't stand being surrounded by useless druggies all day and doing all the work, look elsewhere. Best job I ever had was manual labor working under the table for a friend's dad's friend. Got minimum wage ($10) 8 hour days, exercise, sun, and people to talk to. It was great. You can do better than fry-cook anyway. Look to your local school district. Seriously. They hire retard wranglers here for minimum wage plus $1.75 at the least. If you can stand the kids you're golden. If you get contracted for a 1 on 1 you are looking at $16/hour where I live. Not a bad gig if you're just working with some kid with a physical disability. 39 hours isn't worth misery.

I wish I still had a friend who liked pony. My best friend dropped pony completely after he went into the Marines. He was an EqG loving anthrofag anyway though, I found out. Still, I miss the conversation. And having someone to openly talk to about everything, no holding back, no matter what it was.

I don't know what to tell you about the night terrors. I'm blessed in that my bad dreams are rare and mild. What I did do lately that helped a lot though: get an extra pillow. Fluffy and soft if you can. Cuddle that bitch. It helps so much to imagine your little pony there in your arms. Lame but it helps. Go outside more! It's beautiful out there. Do your reading outside. Best case scenario, get a cuddle buddy. Cuddles r lif

Fuck.

You reminded me of what I wanted to be when I first came here. Eat healthy, go outside, make memories.

It's been almost a year, and now I'm doing drugs and only leaving my room to go to class, or work. I'm not a cave troll either. I wake up at 7:00A.M. work for 8 hours, get off at 3P.M. Eat a few cheese it's while shooting the shit with a few class mates. Go to my classes, and get back to my room anywhere around 8-10P.M. And that's when I eat my first meal of the day. Battle with trying to stay asleep until around 2A.M. And then fucking repeat every single day except for Friday nights. That's when I spend $50 on about 10 bars of Xanax, and $20 or so dollars on whatever handle I feel like picking up.

I feel like this is so autistic to post to this board, but it feels so fucking good to get this off my chest.
