Hello everyone, I’m an international student in Canada, I graduated from college and now I’m working a job that is killing me. I get very anxious at my workplace because the work conditions make the job more dangerous, & the workload usually gets my sugar levels either very high or very low (I have T1D). I’ve been working on a professional certificate in order to switch careers, but every time I just feel so depressed & I can only think of kill myself.

I just want to get better & enjoy life.
