I Am Back - Sorry For Being Gone So Long

Hey MyLotters! Well long time no see. I just realized after looking at my last post about a paper route job that I have not posted since. Since January... That is a long time to be gone. Well a lot has gone on since then. I did indeed take the paper route job and ended up losing money and not making enough. My car broke down twice and the repairs both times were major... I think I spent something like $540.00 for an old car that kind of sucks. Anyhow this caused an unpleasant fight with the spouse as he paid for both and thought I was going to continue the job and I asked him if he would work for 4 hours or more a day for $20.00?
The thing is we live in Nova Scotia Canada the taxes are high here and gas is higher then some areas. It is all fine and well I can report those car repairs at tax time but I got out at a good time. After leaving that job my car had troubles 3 more times. Right now its sitting in the yard unusable because the pressure line for the power steering rusted a big hole. My mother bless her is kindly coming up today to pay for the repair.
Sadly my paper route lasted a little over a month because I just saw no point with my car having problems and being told my trail arm and some other part were rusty and could go anytime. It was nice getting some money out of it but what I spend in repairs did not turn into any profit for me.
Since then I have been working online. I love working online but a lot of my earning sites have little to no work, it is quite upsetting really. I am making some but not enough so my spouse has been covering more of the rent and other bills that I can't.
All this has caused major depression for me along with my father offering to pay for me to go to college but only for something worth it with jobs. So when I told him I wanted to take either office admin or the business course and then told him the job outlook he didn't think it was a good idea. The area I live in is not a city and it also is swamped with applications for all jobs because my area has people from about 6 different towns nearby competing with the locals for jobs.
I am still waiting to hear back from therapy as part of my depression and anxiety treatment being told it could take 8 months sucked but by August I should know something. And I get to see my doctor this week and tell him about me having heartburn everyday mostly at night which has me scared.
Sorry that this post is depressing but that is what has been going on for me. I hope I can make myself feel better to do some writing so I wanted to post here again.

No but not having a car means harder to see my family who live an hour away. My parents were kind enough to gift me a car they had that was in better shape.
