<prompt> Human: I have had bipolar and an anxiety disorder since I was a preteen, but I was always able to handle it pretty well, although I did have a few setbacks in my early life. I worked a variety of jobs as a young adult, such as a fast food worker, cashier, and a two-year stint as a nurses aide at a nursing home. When I was 24 I decided to go to a university in another town.At my university, I majored in web development and worked at the university for extra cash. I went for 3 years and did quite well until the last part of the 3rd year which was Fall 2011. During this time, my psychiatrist left and the one who replaced him changed my medication to something that didnt work. I started to become depressed and failed several of my classes. In December of 2011, my mother died suddenly, followed by my father in June 2012 and my grandfather in September 2012. To top it all off, my whole family was in severe debt and we lost our family home, the car and a lot of other things. By this point I was so depressed that I stopped going to class and they canceled my loans. I didnt sign up for the next semester, and basically quit. Now I live with my grandmother in an apartment, havent worked since I quit college, and have about 47K in student loans, and about 3K in misc. debt such as medical and whatnot. I dont think I can go back to school since I failed numerous classes and already owe quite a bit. I highly doubt they will give me a loan again and I dont really think it is worth it to go back anyways, since not only did they cancel the major I was in, but I failed about 6 classes during my severe depression and would have to retake them. I could probably do some freelance web designdevelopment, but my skills have some gaps in them due to all the crap that has happened, so I dont think I would be up to par.Im not sure if getting a job would be best. I think perhaps they wouldnt want to hire me since I have been unemployed and not going to school for about a year and a half now. I am getting better mentally, though, thanks to new meds and such. Anxiety is still a huge issue these days.I have a boyfriend now who is an amazing man and very supportive, and one day, we would like to marry and get a place of our own, and possibly start a family. But my debts, and my spotty work record is a huge burden to me when I think about to future and how to do that. My grandmother is 75 and I wont be able to live with her forever, so I need to do something. I have no close family left. I know I messed up and I just want to try to get out of this hole I have been in for the last few years. ANY advice would be appreciated. TL;DR: I suffer from bipolar and anxiety, but did ok until I was a junior in college when my parents and my grandfather all died and my family lost everything and it made me go off the deep end. Now Im a college dropout with 50K worth of debt and a spotty work record. I wanna get out of my situation so I can be independent.  <response>: Like many others have said, go back to web development.
