Call me tonight if you need to talk- I'm staying in the lab to try and get some work done until 8 or so but I should be free after that.
Even though my situation isn't even half as stressful as yours I really do get the ball of depression- I've been there and all you can do is take it one step at a time. If you're feeling up to it I highly suggest exercise- its why I would take so many walks around Furman's lake freshman and sophmore year, physical activity will keep you from feeling like a bump on a log, and also take you out of your house. When you're feeling depressed staying in the same surroundings can just add to it.
I can't offer any other advice except I've been there, I get the panicky can't shut your mind off feeling... and it does eventually go away, you do get through it. Sucks more than anything when you're going through it, and there's not much to take the sting off the pain, but you have so many friends and family who love you, and we'll see you through this mess.
I want to highlight what was said above- dont be too hard on yourself. This IS a mess, its a horrible situation, you have every right to feel stressed and overwhelmed, but just do what you can now, applying for Rose McGill, etc, and try to relax as hard as it is.
