Are you diagnosed with a mental health disorder? Are you unable to work because of it? If yes, then approach your provincial social services. Each province has a program (in Saskatchewan it is called SAID - Saskatchewan Assured Income for the Disabled) for which you may be entitled. Your psychiatrist just needs to show that your mental health is affecting your ability to work.

While this isn't a huge amount - I live frugally - it is enough to be independent. Being able to be just that - independent - will solve many of the issues you write about.
Just anxiety and depression, im on medication for both, but do not have a psychiatrist.
I could work and have been searching for something suitable, i just cannot find a job that will fit daycare hours, also the cost of 3 children in daycare is ridiculously expensive even after subsidy. I am going to a health and wellness office on Friday that said I would be able to go on some kind of assistance.. but my partner has to be not living with me otherwise i would have to pay everything back.
Kind of hard sometimes when he won't leave or help support me and the kids!!
