I now work full-time but I’m paying over 60% of my income in rent. My health is suffering because I can’t afford to eat healthily. Every time I open my fridge, I feel immense guilt and deprivation seeing that there is barely any food in it. I feel like my life is passing me by, as I need to save money to be able to afford moving costs in case lease isn’t renewed. I’ve had to cut down on exercise classes, especially during winter when running outside is less of an option. I get extremely depressed, as the thought of continuing to live in these tiny, cramped, mouldy, overpriced apartments for the rest of my life makes me want to just give up. I have started to have stress related physical symptoms and even PTSD around my job for the first time ever due to the constant pressure of barely being able to pay for my life.
