Struggling Financially - How can I go about this

Salam everyone,

I want some advice financially, I [23F] have been struggling financially for the longest time. I am the provider for a family of 4 including my mother and 3 younger siblings who are still below the age of 16. Now, my father abandoned us and he blocked me after I asked him to help me with the finances. My mom has a disability which makes her unable to walk for a long period of time.

I recently lost my job and I am scared to tell my mom, and don’t wanna worry my siblings. It’s a minimum paying job, I am currently a pre medical student hoping to save a bit of money before I start medical school as well.

I feel very stressed and thinking about money constantly due to my circumstances, seeing how my cousins live at 23 is different than how I am living. But, I am doing it for my siblings and mother but I am drowning. All I have left in my account is 77 dollars and I have been taking out loans for university. I don’t have a car, I do take public transportation

I am not here for sympathy, I just want a realistic path on what to do. What’s the most strategic way to go about this, also if you have time to look at my resume or help me build connections that would mean the world to me honestly. Also trying to learn about investing, and hoping to give my family a better life essentially and I know my situation is hard but that’s what Allah SWT wrote for me, so I have to just work harder.

Again not asking for any charity!!!

How to approach a guy via DM when you don’t know him

Hey everyone,

I feel like everyone talks about like approaching when you already have a connection with that person, but not how to approach a guy that you have seen around university 3-4 times but never spoke and don’t know each other’s names but we do follow each other unexpectedly but like I don’t think he knows I am the girl that he has seen 4 times around campus if that makes sense. 🤣I think I am losing my mind lmaooo

He graduated and leaving for med school, and he broke up with his girlfriend a few months ago. So, idk how to like dm like heyyy remember me 😩I sound awkward, someone help meeee, he doesn’t post much so like I can’t really respond to a post or story.

We locked eyes the last time we meet but that could just be me and I am delusional so help ur 23F out who hasn’t ever dated

Loo Eng BFFR

I can’t wait like I am barely sleeping, I am gonna need therapy after this. How DARE THEY NOT GIVE ME AN OFFER? And they get to sleep all cozy in their bed and have no worries while I AM TWISTING AND TURNING AND I HAVE BEEN BINGE EATING. I have gained 10 kg and pounds of acne of the face from this experience to the point I have to take an oral pills. DO THEY HAVE NO SYMPATHY, I am just a girl in this big big world wanting to be a little engineer and All I want to do is sleep in my clean bed in peace with my crispy iced water with a face mask with no worries and watch reality TV with my girl dinner

Do you think I will get in?

Hey everyone,

I have a 3.96 GPA out of 4.0, so keep that in mind. The only problem I am facing is that I was going through a lot during the middle two years of university 😭. Now this might sound like a movie, so bear with me. Even the dean of my faculty said he had never heard something like this before after I showed him all the paperwork. I was basically illegal in a country due to my father’s situation and wasn’t able to attend university properly like I wanted to. Not to mention, I begged the Canadian embassy to release me 😭, but I was imprisoned in a foreign country before even starting my university career, and I DID NOTHING! It was because of my dad’s lawsuit and stuff. We were facing a lot of debt and lost everything. Btw, I technically didn’t attend first year because I was in prison and illegal 🥺. HOW DARE THEY PUT A 19-YEAR-OLD IN PRISON. But anyways, moving along, the police were looking for my dad, and we definitely went through poverty and had to ask for money on the streets.

When I was eventually released and was able to attend an Ontario university in the fall, I was still traumatized and sad that I was behind while everyone else had already made friends, and I had to blend in. So I started falling into depression because I would just go to classes and come back home since I felt different. That’s where I got 6 W’s during the span of the two years I attended. My grandpa also died, and I wasn’t able to see him in the past 13 years, so that hit me as well. I was very anxious because I didn’t want to end up living like I did before, and that led to severe anxiety that made me hyperventilate, pick at my skin, and have severe stomach pain.

But I will say, I am currently going into my fourth year and have maintained a 4.0 with no W’s this year. I feel much happier. I still do get anxiety and I am seeing a psychologist, but I made a few friends, feel much happier, and I am slowly building my confidence back up.

But I am a bit worried about my 6W’s. I do want honest opinions and nothing sugarcoating. If those W’s would affect me
