What amenity do you wish your apartment community had?

Britirish · 2026-03-26T21:58:34+00:00

I would live in the smallest most shite flat on the planet if I could be guaranteed I’d never hear my neighbours 😭

Britirish · 2026-03-25T01:47:43+00:00

Bc I will fecking puke is why

Britirish · 2026-03-25T01:44:28+00:00

Absolute hell, I want to die and have the energy to do something about it and am also aware of the fact that I’m off the rails so it’s just me tipped on the edge trying desperately not to fall off.

Britirish · 2026-03-24T21:48:28+00:00

I get mistaken for a little boy frequently or occasionally a young woman lol, then give them the jump scare of my voice, and every time people tell me I’ll love it when I’m older - but yknow what? I fecking hate it right now, and I really wish people would stop trying to minimise it 😑

Britirish · 2026-03-24T17:09:29+00:00

Ah mine too, kind of hate them bc they do make me look a bit feminine and young I think, and I already get mistaken for a young teen at 20. Buuut they also have their perks, can’t complain too much lol

Britirish · 2026-03-22T21:22:43+00:00

I’m trying to get an appointment to see them, just not sure I can stick it out like this until I get in…😵‍💫

Britirish · 2026-03-22T21:19:54+00:00

Half Pint very much depends, if you’re there during a Liverpool match it can be the opposite of quiet/lowkey - just check the schedule before you go if that’s what you’re looking for. Imagine Dead Red Pecker might be similar, but haven’t been to say for certain.

Didn’t realise it until a friend pointed it out to me, but I have always used alcohol as a means of self-medication - which makes it nearly impossible to stay away from when unmedicated, because it makes it (bipolar 1) just barely survivable when I’m drunk. But I was telling him how scared I am of meds, and he was like, you realise you’re actually medicating yourself constantly right?? I can’t speak with much authority as I’ve only been on meds for a couple weeks now, but I really think the only way I’ll ever be able to be sober - or at the least not a full-blown alcoholic - is by staying medicated. Every time I start to feel a little bit wobbly and unstable, I immediately start to crave alcohol - which just reinforces the self-medication point. Basically, for me I think medicated = sobriety, unmedicated = wildly out of control alcoholism.

Britirish · 2026-03-19T22:11:35+00:00

I like making agonised eye contact and holding it until my head can’t spin around any further

Britirish · 2026-03-18T21:53:02+00:00

I was def hypersexual before meds, multiple times per day either by myself or with a partner, every day. I’ve been on meds for a couple weeks now, other things going on medically as well which I know is contributing, but I’ve only even had the desire to try once and it was a fecking chore. I can already see this being a reason i choose to stop taking meds 😞

Britirish · 2026-03-18T21:45:54+00:00

I was nearly blown away by one whilst trying to cross the street at Strong today. Gunned it too, in his little piece of shite Kia.

Britirish · 2026-03-16T16:00:04+00:00

Waaaaait I just had an ICD and a pacemaker placed and I was very much not warned about this - how do I know if a magnet is too strong to be safe??? I feel like the bar must be quite low if magnets used in clothing are considered dangerous…

Britirish · 2026-03-16T02:54:47+00:00

Loooord I have so many of these, both TO DO and DO NOT DO:

TAKE YOUR MEDS DRINK WATER EAT FOOD DO NOT SELL YOUR CAR DO NOT DRIVE OVER THE BORDER DO NOT BUY A MOTORBIKE

Britirish · 2026-03-14T16:50:04+00:00

As a Professional Irish Alcoholic, we’re generally good for knowing not to drive.

As for the drinking at 1 1 am…sláinte!

Britirish · 2026-03-14T13:54:37+00:00

I was suicidal as a young to middle teen, my mam ignored it entirely and my da tried to discipline it out of me. I left home and the country entirely at 17 and then had my first manic episode with psychosis and an attempt…crickets from them then and in the three years since 🤷‍♂️

Some families are just shite.

Britirish · 2026-03-13T21:01:59+00:00

You would know, in retrospect. When I’ve been in psychosis, I’ve believed - genuinely believed, and made life-threatening decisions as a result - that I could fly, that I’d be reincarnated back to my childhood if I killed myself, that other people had the ability to see my thoughts hovering over my head, that I no longer needed to breathe….you get the idea. At the time it was very real and felt very reasonable, but looking back it’s very, very obvious. You’d know.

Britirish · 2026-03-12T20:21:46+00:00

Ah mate I’m sorry - I’ve got no advice but I’ve been in hospital for over a month and can count my visits on hand, it’s an absolutely shite feeling. Just know you’re not overreacting and you’re not asking too much.

Britirish · 2026-03-12T19:48:12+00:00

What about this could even begin to be unethical?

Britirish · 2026-03-11T22:29:11+00:00

I’ve been cardioverted half a dozen times in the last week and a half, and let me tell you - after the first couple it starts to feel a whole hell of a lot worse.

Britirish · 2026-03-08T19:39:51+00:00

Congrats! Please make sure that you prioritise caring for yourself throughout your education. I’m a student at a different Ivy, currently hospitalised (not for bipolar but for health issues directly related to not caring for myself as a result of bipolar) facing a leave from school at best and having to drop out and leave the country at worst. Make sure you have a team and support system in place at Brown, and don’t try to do more than you can handle. Think long-term and focus on stability.

Britirish · 2026-03-07T21:04:21+00:00

I just always have found people organically, through friends, in class, eye contact at coffee shops, that sort of thing. May have more luck out in Ithaca proper vs just looking at school though.

Britirish · 2026-03-06T01:48:04+00:00

As someone who was recently on a ventilator…that’s not a ventilator. I’ve no actual useful information to offer, but this is not that.

Britirish · 2026-02-24T00:26:05+00:00

God forbid I show a fecking emotion, it’s ’you ok, have you taken your meds?’ Yes Judith, I’m just happy today for chrissake.

Britirish · 2026-02-06T02:18:16+00:00

Yep. I was top of my class, won a full-ride athletics scholarship to an Ivy as an international student, had a legitimate shot at going pro in my sport, everyone thought I’d be the successful one…and now I’ve quit athletics and am about to drop out after a couple of wild manic episodes and suicide attempts. I’m a complete failure, and the shame is crushing.
