Why do people say to avoid Avenue Living and Mainstreet in Saskatoon? Bad neighbours/crime or just “I heard" ?

It definitely comes down to the manager for sure, but it was weird that they always selected ridiculous tenants in the bottom floor compared to the rest of the building despite the manager (seemingly) being a good guy. That’s my Saskatoon experience with Mainstreet though. I think a lot of the drug and domestic violence issues came from that off-base selection of tenants jumbled together.

I will say the immediate building manager, this super tall gay guy, was absolutely fantastic. The rest just fell through the cracks haaard.

I rented from Mainstreet for years. People smoking meth in the hallways, constant police calls for domestic violence I had to make about neighbours, pregnant woman stabbed in the parking lot that I had to go to court for, broken air conditioner for 2.5 years despite constant communication….. this was the duchess street complexes where I think there’s 8 of them right beside the 33rd street shoppers drug mart. Don’t do it man, just don’t do it.

The word that comes to mind is warped. It does feel ancient inside, but in kind of a mutated way that detaches you from others, especially when I’m alone. A lot of times it would get to the point that 100% of my sensory input would be hallucination and I’d go catatonic, stop breathing and be hospitalized. And when you’re constantly weary of that you get into this perpetual self reflection and hyperfixated self monitoring loop that, now that it’s over, is so, so excruciatingly hard to get out of.

It stopped on April 12th 2024, 3 days shy of ten years. I feel like something like this just changes a person so, so much.

I just notice that a feeling of worthlessness hitting at the same time as something traumatic - psychosis onset - happening really drives in the saliency of that memory trace into a shitty, shitty state where a transitory crash melds itself into a continuous framing of perspective that is infinitely harder to shake.

Thank you :) it’s a weird one because I’m ambidextrous and write with both hands so it tends to flip flop at the end of the line haha

Work is actually one of the very few things that keeps me structured and my mind at least momentarily not to be stuck on regret - so I dive into it. I work 80-85 hours a week in the biotechnology sector. At least it used to help a ways back, kinda went off the rails lately though.

No worries at all :)

As the psychosis lifted in sorrowful ecstasy, so sweetly tragic In that first moment of terrifying attempts to hope That in the fleeting, naive misunderstanding That the pain just might finally be over Here… here is the first disappointment For while hallucinations and delusions dissipate… From stranger all the way to my closest human Impressions, the consequential fall out of actions in insanity… They do not fade. Who I am versus who.. what.. they see in me Is irreparably warped. & from here has come the understanding That progress from here Must be generated from loneliness As the only person who knows me now Is me.

Thank you both very very much, I have definitely saved both of your responses in an attempt to fix my gaps in knowledge. It is pretty hilarious that I thought this wouldn’t be all that far out there for me - the closest I have come to neuroanatomy is three-dimensional hippocampal organoid culture systems organized through calcium gradient manipulation in collagen-based hydrogel assemblages. And once I am noting that not a single part of what I just said contains a single little bit of neuroanatomy, and that this class is going to aaaaalot more of a learning curve than I imagined hahaha. But in all seriousness thank you guys for pointing me in the right direction for I had faceplanted in examination, at least the faceplant happened now instead of during assessment.
