Hey! I was wondering if anyone else is taking this course or if you’d need any sort of background going into this program.

Im switching from dental to business as I believe it’s more beneficial for myself in the long run.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

To start im 21f, i have three other siblings; 17f, 24m, and 27f. So im basically a middle child. My two older siblings are independent, never had any problems or issues, both work stable jobs. My little sister is going into university, shes super smart.

On the other hand i guess you could call me the “troubled” child, i struggle with depression, im fkn jobless cus i can’t find a job for the life of me, and i plan on going back to school the following fall. I’ve had a couple incidents growing up around money. I’ve definitely learnt from them but now I needed support from my parents. Not too long ago I had a huge phone bill that I couldn’t pay. Mail came in and my parents seen it. Yep i know it is my fault for letting it get there but I don’t like to ask for help as i already seem like a burden. My parents made me pay for it and I basically used all of my savings for it. Meanwhile they’re talking to me they said “look at your brother and sister, they’ve never had any problems like this. And your little sister, look at her (she’s also their favourite) she’s going to university..” and they basically just told me how I haven’t really achieved much in life.

My parents don’t know I struggle with depression, i haven’t told them since i dont want to disappoint them some more. I already had a failed attempt back in October 2023 when I was in school but dropped out due to my mental health.

I dont know im just venting. I already feel bad enough that I cant figure out my life, I’m not even supposed to be here and i say this all the time. My life should’ve ended when i was 18, im now here and i dont even know what to do. I have no value. I think its hard cus i haven’t told them i struggle and i guess you could say im also sensitive so i honestly do kind of take things to heart. Sorry for the rant

Hey guys,

Im 21F and I honestly think im pretty lost in life. In 2023 I was in school for dental assisting but I dropped out just last year due to loosing my passion for it as well as the instructors made it hard for me to want to continue pursuing it.

Here I am now, clueless and I don’t know what I want to do. I really do want to go back to school for something but I don’t know what. I’m not good at math that’s one thing for sure.
I was thinking of applying and I also get 5 choices and I have 2 right now. Flight attendant and business marketing. Those two kind of sparked something in me since I love to travel, and marketing im a little iffy about since I’ve heard mixed reviews about it.

If anyone can help me and give some advice, I am completely open to hearing other opportunities that I can explore.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I honestly just wanted somewhere to vent since I don’t have many people to talk to. Please be nice, im all over the place and i dont know what to do with my life.

Im 21f, back in January of 2025 I was diagnosed with severe depression.

I was referred to a CBT but never went due to my family situation (will explain) and also not having the money to pay for one.

Back story as well (sorry im all over the place) back in October 2023 (just got broken up with and i was failing in college) i had a failed attempt where i tried to OD on absolutely anything i could find in my cupboard. I was later found by my friend and sister who took me to the hospital and got my stomach pumped.

Fast forward to now.. I won’t lie I was doing okay for a bit. Ihave a pretty good family, but none of them know that I suffer from depression besides my older and younger sister. My parents are supportive but i cant bring myself to them and tell them that i have struggled a lot, as i feel like i would crush them since theyve done a lot for me. I also feel like im the one child thats not good at anything, i dropped out of college due to my mental health taking a toll and i just couldnt do it. My grades were just below passing, i fell out of love with the program i wanted to pursue. Im unemployed, ive been looking for a job but its so hard in canada right now, ive been applying everywhere. So money is tight, my parents support my basic needs. On top of that my parents think i have graduated from my program.

Im just scared to be seen as the disappointment in the family. My brother is successful, my sister is stable, and my younger sister is going to uni.

I want to go back to school this following September but i still havent figured out what i really want to do. I dont want to lay around doing nothing. I want to be useful. I want to be seen as important or like im capable of doing anything.

Might be off topic but im also not good with money saving and spending wise, I’ve had problems with it from when i was maybe 14 in highschool where i had taken money from my dad and was caught. I felt absolutely terrible, i knew what i was doing but i still did it. The guilt still eats me alive til this day. Not too long ago i let my credit card reach collections because i couldnt pay it and i didnt want to ask for help. It came in the mail and my parents saw it ended up paying for it. Again, i feel awful and disappointed in myself. And again i couldn’t pay my phone bill and it was a VERY high amount. My parents had seen the letter that came in the mail and i think they want to talk to me tomorrow, i am not good with confrontation at all. I want to give them money but i am so limited to it.

Yes i honestly could’ve made better decisions and i want to start over but i feel like i cant. I kind of want to just end it all, i love everyone in my life i really do but i feel so useless. I dont think anyone really values me since i have nothing to offer. I promise im really trying i want to start over, but im falling in the cycle where im useless and i dont even deserve to be here.

Hi everyone, sorry if this’s a stupid question. Im 21f and learning about taxes etc.

I just got a letter in the mail saying my annual gst/hstc entitlement was increased to $523.50 from $349.00.

What does this mean? Im seeing im getting $174.50 on June 5th. May someone help me out understanding this?

Thanks a lot!

This last weekend I went out with a couple of friends to do a slight celebration. We were all drinking some blanco tequila (i was also drinking a white sangria) and when we were maybe i’d like to say 2 shots in I got this really bad body ache. This has happened to me before and i am quite a lightweight but i dont know why this happens to me? My back especially starts to hurt.

I drank a glass of water and sat for about 40 minutes before drinking again and I felt alright. It was probably some dehydration that time but I wonder why this happens?

Does anyone know?
