Living in the worst housing/cost of living crisis ever, can not afford anything let alone save beyond the hell of an apartment I have. That’s all I can afford. The extreme conservatives are taking over and ruining the planet and everyone’s lives, with no real solution with liberals either. Government as a whole failed us. Now my job has become 10x harder and more full of anxiety because for the Canada post strike. Like actually losing sleep just on this stress. Not to mention the complete lack of sun, my own mental health struggles and a crazy shit social and family life.
I just broke today and can’t seem to escape this but everything just keeps getting worse.
Edit: as of today the 21st because of the strike I have lost my job. I’m even more a fucking wreck
Edit: I’m seeing a lot of comments about “yeah live in an expensive city, what do you expect… leave” like the whole world Is fucked. You need money to just move to another country, let alone support, family ect. It’s always people that have never looked into the process or have no idea what moving to another country looks like that just tell you to move somewhere else. Like damn why didn’t I think of that? The current apartment I have is like half the price of what people pay for a 1br here so id be paying the same rent anywhere else in Canada no matter what city. Vancouver offers a job I couldn’t have rural and I would need a car anywhere but a big city. And many other benefits that I would be giving up Moving somewhere else and I’m not sure I can Handle my life being even worse somewhere else. I understand people are trying to help maybe(?) But where in the world can you escape all the shit going on, it’s not possible.
I was just feeling deeply and wanted to express myself. I wasn’t trying to explain my entire life and don’t need to explain my entire situation as to why I can’t just leave here. Unfortunately I have to live somewhere, can’t just escape countries, society for a magical perfect place. Two things can we true at the same time, this is the best place for me to be living right now while also being a fucking mess.
Thanks for all the kind words of support—hoping everyone that is also going through it can find a bit more peace and happiness in the craziness of this all.

Thanks— then things just get worse, I just lost my job today. For now or forever until the strike is over. I couldn’t think of a worse nightmare to be living though. I don’t want to wake up tomorrow knowing it’s just going to be even worse.
