I recently started working at a fast food place (not saying which because I want to stay as anonymous as possible but it does involve a lot of coffee) and I hate it so much. I can tell my coworkers don’t like me either, it’s overwhelming because I’ve never worked costumer service before and the place has very violent costumers. are there any places hiring right now? For students? I’ll take anything honestly
Long story short (without getting into detail), something really traumatic happened to me in August 2024 right before I started at York University in September and it completely threw off my life. I was dealing with depression due to the trauma and genuinely couldn’t focus on school.
For the fall/winter 2024–2025 year, I had three full-year courses and one winter course. I passed one, dropped one, and withdrew from two, which put me on OSAP probation.
In summer 2025, I took two courses — I passed a 3-credit, but failed a 6-credit. After that, I decided to take a break because my mental health was really bad and I couldn’t continue for my own sanity.
I’m doing a lot better now and planning to return in Fall 2026, but I’m pretty sure I might be placed on OSAP restriction due to the failed course and because I’m transferring to Toronto Metropolitan University. I want to prepare for an appeal, but I’m not sure what documentation is considered enough.
Most of the documentation I have is from December 2025 onward, when I actually started seeking treatment. I was diagnosed with PTSD and depression through CAMH in December, and I’m currently on their waitlist for CBT counselling after doing an intake. Other than that, I don’t have much formal documentation.
I did send some emails earlier in 2025 trying to get accommodations and support at York, but I’m not sure if that’s enough proof. I know I could talk to my family doctor for documentation, but I don’t feel comfortable doing that because he might not believe me and has in the past made some insensitive comments about mental health in my presence.
