A financial and psychological one. I just moved out of a very bad area into a nice place after finally finding work after 2 years of looking ( I was laid off and finding work in Alberta is a needle in a haystack).

It's a skilled trade but I get paid bare minimum (Like..Mcdonalds minimum). I try my best to save and finally financed a car again after years of bussing it in -35 celcius in the winter. I can barely afford it, but the car cut my travel time from 3 hours a day on the bus, to 30 minutes a day driving. So I am trying to rebuild, but I've been having some minor meltdowns out of frustration and not handling it well.

I hardly eat, out of fear that I will default on my car payment, I am also a recovering alcoholic that has had a slight relapse from stress that I will be in this poverty cycle forever.

I have the literal money for the car, but cannot afford it and have a lot of fear that I'm lingering into self sabotage mode.

I am an artist and use to sell paintings, but I can't even afford the supplies to make more to sell and make ends meet.

I'm not good at financial things. And last month I drank for the first time in 3 years because I don't know how else to mentally handle things. I have been homeless before (for a long time)which is why it scares me. So I'm unsure of the best way to handle this and change my situation
