Damn, that's going to be a hard budget to work with if you wanna actually do stuff while you're there. Does your room and board come out of that money as well? How long is your summer break?
I think finding a summer job, if anything, seems very likely. An interesting place to start looking for work is right on campus, if they do that sort of thing. You can look into jobs in the foreign exchange/stuent or maybe the ESL dept., since you speak English.
I think that's a great plan (writing the language books). I really liked the stuff you showed me before.
Not to mention, but I've also heard mostly bad things from those who take anti-depressants. Unless you're seriously emotionally and mentally crippled (meaning you can't even get out of bed), it probably can do a lot more harm than good - and I always feel like it's best to find other alternatives first.
The paranoia and phobias sound a bit like anxiety. Usually, though, it has a root cause as to why she is fearful of those things.
Maybe she could try keeping a journal? I used to keep track of my mental wellness - like from a scale of 1-10 how much I actually wanted to die that day, for example. LOL. And then try to find patterns in behavior (anything from, like you said, diet, to excerise, to..well anything..conflicts blahblahs)
I hope she gets that job! As much as we need jobs to survive, I always believed that the type of job we have/type of work we do can REALLY make a huge impact on our overall quality of life (self-esteem, how we feel about ourselves, how we cope with shit, ect.)
