hey. i don't know how you do this :-(
do you have a councelling service or something associated with your uni?
are you getting medication / therapy for your depression?
sometimes the councelling service runs group therapy stuff for people with depression and / or anxiety. sometimes... that can be a good way to meet other people who are struggling with similar issues. just having some sympathetic company can help you feel a lot better :-)
but i don't know... it is hard some times :-(
but... it does get better.
yup.
but sometimes it can be really very hard to see that :-(sometimes... i'm not sure how i keep going either...

You do it because you have determination. You're trying to improve yourself. Could you try student loans for money? Try the disability services. They might have some ideas

Are you in the US? Are you on SSI or SSDI? If so, you can get help with retraining through the vocational rehabilitation program. SSDI/SSI has something called Ticket To Work which provides vocational assistance. Let me know if you need more information.
