You might not be able to afford a psychotherapist, I know you'd either have to have insurance to cover or pay for it yourself. But I live in Canada too, and I know there are free services, community mental health, that I have to use too. That would be a start. What I have for therapy is a psychiatric nurse, she at least is someone to talk to once a week. Why not start with that? There also are usually many services for counseling that are based on a sliding scale. Ask your family doctor to refer you to a free mental health clinic. Best wishes.
