I’m absolutely terrified! School is around the corner I have definitely let my depression and anxiety get the best of me! Does anyone have any tips to help pay for school on your own? Or any company’s that are willing to work with college students?

I know this is obvious, but apply for any and all scholarships your university/school/department/major offer, and any others you can find that are maybe niche or specific to you/your field/your interests. Get a campus job! Campus jobs will be flexible to accommodate your class schedule, otherwise get a local service industry job that you ideally can walk/bike to. But seriously, don’t let a job take away from your academics - no point in paying for a class if you’re gonna fail.

Talk to your counselors, advisors, the financial aid office, career services, maybe even someone from the dean of students office and/or your school’s accommodations office if it applies. Ask your peers. People are willing to help!!
