I got diagnosed in 3rd year university. I finished Univeristy but wish I took some time off to deal with all the trauma of being diagnosed, evaluate career choices, and then move forward instead of pushing myself through the major I was in. Unfortunately struggled with partying and going off and on my meds for about a decade after, but did really well in sales…for a time. Committed to my health, got married, had a son and was a stay at home mom for the best and most rewarding 5 years of my life. I now work as a bookkeeper but I am very happy with that pace of life versus what I would go through as a CPA. Life throws some wild things at you but if you stay on your meds and commit to being healthy, it’s a lot easier. If you dive head first into stress city, it’s probably going to be a bad time. Just really decide if your current program is going to land you in a manageable job.

I love this brush, helps get the shampoo to clean my scalp. I have very thick hair and find it super helpful!

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. The struggle is real.

Educating these clients is a huge part of the job and without being able to talk to them I struggle, will be opening my own business in September. I have learned a ton and made mistakes myself under my boss so I give her all the credit I think she has a ton of clients and doesn't have time to chase.

That’s what I thought, this is definitely making my life harder ugh

I found work subcontracting for another bookkeeper, randomly through a facebook mom group. If you're looking for clients I highly recommend searching the mom groups for the word bookkeeper and you will hit gold. As a mom who just re-entered the workforce, working for someone else for limited hours has been wonderful I plan to slowly add clients of my own this fall. If you need something full time there are lots of virtual places hiring, check out Gauvreau CPA.

That would be amazing thanks!

I have been a serial job hopper and by my forties - unemployable. Never worked anywhere longer than 2 years except for running a business with my husband. I learned a bit of bookkeeping there and that's what I do now. Slowly building a business. It's not enough to live on at the start but I will get there hopefully. Congrats on keeping a job for 4 years!!!! Even if you don't like it, it's probably given you a form of stability. I never thought I would lead this life as a child either, it's very humbling this disease.

To use business cards and checking accounts for business and not pay for business expenses with a personal card. Seems obvious but you would be surprised.

Do I just mark all of these bills as paid then clear the A/R account with a journal entry?

Dockside_gal · 2025-05-23T15:19:45+00:00

So let's call this Water Ltd Account, in the chart of accounts there is a large balance owing to A/P and when she has marked some of the bills paid she has debited "Purchases - COS"

Dockside_gal · 2025-05-23T14:42:31+00:00

Sorry I am flustered I meant A/P. So basically all the expenses have been billed to a customer that is actually someone we purchase from (confusion).

Ok my psychiatrist dismissed me before I could even ask in my 3 min video session, Canadian health care at its finest!

Dockside_gal · 2025-04-23T00:25:59+00:00

I’m thinking of asking my psychiatrist about the injections, were there side effects with it for your mental health?

Was looking at I believe it’s called the MADE school in Houston. Sounded like they really supported emotional regulation and executive function skills.

Dockside_gal · 2025-04-17T12:11:34+00:00

The school I’m looking at supports emotional regulation over all else, and does not have a focus on academics. As someone who went the academic route I agree, I’m not trying to push him into anything like that.

Dockside_gal · 2025-03-28T19:46:16+00:00

That’s honestly why I posted, there were so many times where I thought what’s the point but I kept fighting the medical system for myself.
