Lili, if in 4 weeks, you graduate, then I thoroughly understand not wanting to wait. It's so close to finishing.
Another idea then...
Even though the other women in your dorm are nasty, surely there's student services & someone kind enough to understand how serious your depression is & how it's affecting you - suicide attempts & trouble using your mind. Is there any service or recourse to avail yourself of (with student services help) to delay your assignments & graduation for a short while to ease the pressure from you?At university, when I was switching meds & had severe cognitive problems, I was able to delay certain final exams (I had altered exams to write later & even had time & a half to write exams in). I also was given a longer time periods to complete assignments in. I cooperated with the profs & had the help of the Disability Centre to act as a go-between. The centre wasn't just for handicapped students but any that needed special help for medical reasons. I sort of felt like I was cheating to be able to get special allowances made, but was told not to think that way. That's what the services were there for, I was told.
