Mental Health Advice

Hello. I honestly don't know where else I could go for this.

Story: I grew up on the borderline between middle class and poverty. Due to stresses in my personal life; I have taken to a pretty heavy videogame addition over my childhood which made me blind to almost anything else going on in both the world and in myself. It still suprizes me now that despite the addition I somehow exceeded in high-school.

Current: now I'm a new adult who has gotten married to the love of my life. However due to the state of the U.S My mental state has just been declining further into the hole and honestly, I have no idea how much further I can go or what to do. I'm now having to deal with college, part time job, Financials, meeting expectations while everyone except my wife calls me useless, over 10 animals due to someone else's poor life choices all while seeing new information on how the next day is going to be harder than the last. Honestly this isn't even all of it because I don't know how to put it to words.

I know this isn't exactly withing the guidelines or at least I don't know if it is, but I'm reaching towards places that I don't how how or if I'll be able to get out and need anytime of advise on what I can do.

I guess to help make the question more specific: my wife and I want to try and leave the country after we graduate.

If I need to give more information for you to help then ask.
