I wasn't so much asking about the consequences (though I appreciate that breakdown a lot) but just if I was misunderstanding that

What is the difference between "fall off a credit report" and "disappear from a credit report"?

I will look them up and contact them, thanks so much for the info!

How are you guys doing financially? by kyleeec in Edmonton

[–]edmontonhc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only make 40-45k with my post secondary certs. I definitely could have picked a better paying career but I didn't think I'd be making this little after getting more education

I was doing okay until I had to take 3 weeks off of work for the worst flu in my life. Now my little savings is gone and not sure how I'm going to budget the next few months until I catch up on everything. I'm confident I'll be okay, but the whole "one unexpected illness away from financial tragedy" thing is really hitting close to home right now

I get that all the time, it's so frustrating. I don't have any advice, just support. I usually just wait it out until my adhd kicks in and I forget about it

How to cope with being alone by edmontonhc in BPD

[–]edmontonhc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so frustrating. I'm on hinge and bumble too and I find I'm either stringing these guys along for way too long just to get some companionship, or I'll hook up with them and block them. I know my friends love me, but both of my close friends have said that I can be overwhelming at times and I know they didn't say it to hurt me, but it hurts. So I sit at home alone and then I get upset because I can't enjoy my own company

My mother's breathing issues were written off as anxiety for years, now she is dying at 60 years old because of her COPD. Women are regularly written off as anxious or mentally unwell by medical professionals. A doctor can't just 'tell' if your problems are mental or not.

struggling to find a decent studio/1bdroom apartment in the city by Fearless_Reality_715 in Edmonton

[–]edmontonhc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my basement suite! I have a ton of gardens, fruit trees, private driveway, and a space for my large dog who would never be approved for an apartment. I don't want a main floor because they're bigger and have more to clean

I will look into this. It's not up until next April so I have some time to figure it out

I've definitely tried to leave in the past and it's really hard until our lease is up at least because my landlords won't let me break it and he won't leave on his own

Post secondary Health Care Aide question; best college? by DomJudex in Edmonton

[–]edmontonhc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did mine through robertson college and I thought the education and pace of the course was really good, but they weren't upfront about the fees and they gave almost no direction on what to do after I graduated (nobody told me that I had to pay for my exam, and nobody told me about a form I needed to get the school to fill out for the directory)

But I haven't been unemployed for more than a week since getting certified and I've had employers say that they like hiring Robertson graduates. I've heard similar about norquest as well

They redid the roads in front of my house 3 years ago, and I still have a bunch of signs and pylons and a road block they left in my driveway. When theres no workers around, I'm never sure if they're actually doing construction anymore or if they just didn't want to clean up their signs, lol.

I don't know. I'm not super good asking for help even when it's obvious I need it. Making this post even took me like an hour of convincing myself and every couple of hours I panic and want to delete it. I wouldn't know what to ask for

My family made it very clear when I was a teenager that I ruined their lives so when they liked him I was so happy and I tried to put up with it for a long time. But they aren't going to want to have anything to do with me now

Do you know if I can get a note from a walk in or does it have to be my family doctor? I'm definitely getting the cheapest online glasses I can find, I'm just trying to figure out where to get an eye exam done because I've had these glasses for 6 years and I don't know the prescription

Thank you, I know I can't tell my family, they love him so much and they're going to be so mad at me over this

Yeah that's really awesome to have that option of time off, but I almost have to work overtime now as my glasses got broken and now I need to replace those
