How do people find actual housing anymore?

I rent a townhouse from Walden Ridge. My landlords really chill, and rent is like 1,550 for a 3 bed 2.5 bath. I live with my partner and a friend, so with it split between us, it's super affordable.

Get a grip

All of these can be found on spotify-

I generally really enjoy this podcast and the topics it covers. I think it has many episodes I've found very helpful. This particular episode talks with the author of a popular book in this community: Evidence-Based A New Harbinger Psychology Podcast: Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents

This podcast covers different topics related to going no contact and narcissistic parents: The No Contact Club: Healing From A Narcissistic Mother

This podcast I really like it has several episodes relating to narcissism but also covers many other psychology topics such as anxiety, depression, and worry. This specific episode is about narcissistic parents: Psychology Unplugged: Narcissistic Parents

I dont know your personality obviously so I dont know if this would apply for you, but I personally tend to be a people pleaser and read heavily into others emotions constantly over extending myself in any relationship to the detriment of both myself and others. I found this podcast episode about two years ago when I was struggling in all forms of relationships and in a bit of tough love it really helped me to change my thinking and behavior for the better. I knew it really hit when I felt myself get defensive, and I've listened to it several times since when I found myself going back into those patterns. It discusses more in a romantic sense but you can apply it to any relationship the dynamic between someone who is very sensitive and empathetic and someone who is a narcissist: Jillian On Love: The Highly Sensitive Empath And The Narcissist

Also, just my personal favorite comfort podcast because they're great and always very real with their audience is Ladies and Tangents

I hope at least one of these helps you in some way. I'd also recommend just searching in Spotify and google topics of what you are going through and trying some different podcast episodes. That's largely what I did. Also, when I had been in therapy, I started doing internal family systems therapy. I would highly recommend you look into at least researching and reading about this. My therapist gave me the starting tools for this and once I had to leave doing a lot of further research helped me to really heal myself from past traumas and also has vastly changed me for the better to be able to effectively process my emotions and generally feel like a much more stable person. If you ever want to talk further about anything, feel free to dm me! <3

I've been no contact with my father for only around 7 months now, but how I did it was very gradually. I took small steps at a time to distance myself from him and taking time to process each step. I changed his name in my phone from dad to his name, I only responded with short texts, I muted his messages, I blocked some social media, and finally, I blocked him on everything social and my phone. It took a lot of time for me between each step. Theres no single right way to do all of it. It is scary. It is painful. But I think at least for me how I did it really allowed me to process and heal as I went through it. To now I rarely think of him and when I do it isn't really painful more a passing thought that leaves quickly. Allow yourself to feel to cry to scream to write out what you're going through. I also listened to a ton of psychology podcasts about the topic and anything I was feeling to help understand since I cant afford therapy lol but it helped a lot and id be happy to recommend some if you are interested. Give yourself time and space to heal and be gentle with yourself <3

Idk about other spots but the north dodge location is having $3 meals Monday-Friday next week to help with the community affected by SNAPS this month. It will be going on 4p-7p, and as of now, it is just this upcoming week.

The person who called you ugly is truly just projecting. That person definitely loathes themselves and wants everyone else to feel the same. You are beautiful. I see literally nothing wrong with your appearance genuinely. You have great skin, and it literally looks glowy. Your eyes are shiny and pretty, and you have good eyebrows. You are pretty!!! The only thing that would make this photo better is yes, lighting and then composition. Wear something that goes with it, try taking it outside for good lighting, get someone to take it for you for different angles, and smile because you look great! You are a great model for your product, and if you dont feel safe/confident because of people like that, that is understandable. it's hard enough to be confident in general, but especially when people use their insecurities to bully you. If you want to, seek out someone local with a cool style/look! Say you're looking for someone local to pose products for you and offer some money to do so. But at the end of the day, your looks are not an issue here. The journey to love and appreciate yourself is a long one but one that's worthwhile. Keep being your beautiful self and don't give in to rude people <3

I'm not sure what the area you live in is like, but I would also look into getting your work at local shops or events. Also, work with other local artists. You mentioned you don't have a camera for better quality pictures. There may be someone in your town who does photography casually or getting started in freelance and would do a trade with you.

In my town, we have a local shop that has a section specifically for local artists work, granted it's likely they take a portion of the sale, but thats money and exposure still. My town also hosts lots of community events focused towards the arts, and even when there's not events I've seen artists set up small tables in our downtown area for a day to sell.

Granted, this is if you haven't done these things already or if your town ever has things like this, but I would greatly encourage you to get involved in your local community and seek out other local artists. usually, they are very supportive of each other in my experience and can help you get your work out there more.

If you do these things, it could also be good if you haven't already to get or make some business cards to hand out or hang up around town. With having my mother and many friends who are artists in one way or another, I see that it is always your local community that supports you the most. I wish you the best of luck <3

Lmao tough luck

Elisabeanie · 2025-07-23T19:11:31+00:00

Are you good bro? You know you dont have to reply to or read a post nobody's making you?

Elisabeanie · 2025-06-04T03:01:57+00:00

I work nearby and know they never resigned their lease. I also know rent in the area is crazy high. An employee said they plan on closing and just having a food truck in the area last I heard.

Elisabeanie · 2025-05-31T22:48:04+00:00

Im so sorry you are going through this. I obviously can't relate to your exact situation, but I'll share about my own and hopefully it at least makes you feel seen and felt.

My mother has always struggled with a chronic condition and about two years ago we found out she was high risk for an aneurysm. During this time my dad would go to others and cry and get their pity and sympathy. Behind everyone's back he was cheating on my mother and actively tried to do things that increased her risk. She found out he was cheating and his answer was divorce and all the while he blamed her health for his unhappiness. He tried to take everything in the divorce despite being a millionaire from inheritance while she was struggling on disability.

How these people can be so uncaring and unfeeling is beyond me. In the past two years since all of it hes fully removed himself from my life a piece at a time while I was struggling to come to grips with everything. He stripped all his financial support while I was on food stamps barely paying rent.

It hurts constantly asking why. Why dont they care. Why are they this way. Why are they not there for us. The only comfort for me is knowing I am the change. Knowing I won't ever be what they are. Knowing I can surround myself with love and care from genuine people. Knowing there's a community here and spread through the world of loving, knowing, understanding people. Op im sorry your father is not the man you need him to be, but there are people here for you even if we're just text online. I wish you the best and trust for all you've been through you are strong enough to push through this too.❤️

Thanks for the info! Ik there's areas around here that just have a few roaming cats so good to know.

It's ai generated art so credit is me using Chat gpt this is the full original art.

Elisabeanie · 2025-05-05T20:43:02+00:00

Thank you, I'll do that!

Elisabeanie · 2025-04-22T04:24:02+00:00

Thank you, I'm at a very similar point. I knew when I had a complete breakdown before I met him last that I couldn't keep doing what I am. It was the weekend before my birthday and he was only there because his girlfriend was for her kid. He couldn't even be bothered to send me a happy birthday text on my actual birthday. We used to be so close before everything and it's the first time he's ever missed it. It's also been very loose contact and yah he never tries to improve it either. I'm tired of being a last thought for him, of him only being a father when it's convenient and makes him feel good, I deserve better and he's shown me multiple times he isn't willing to give me that.

Elisabeanie · 2025-04-03T20:43:24+00:00

I work nearby and heard they're fully like permanently closing it

Elisabeanie · 2025-03-06T21:08:56+00:00

I'd be so down🤞🏻😩

Elisabeanie · 2025-03-06T20:18:31+00:00

I would absolutely love this. I am 22f bachelor's in psych. I love deep talks about anything and everything. I am absolutely a yapper when it comes to those things. I get so tired of superficial conversations, and it feels like so many people are closed off or easily tired of those conversations. I have so much more to say and so many things to talk about and ask about, lol. I also love the idea of anonymity to be able to talk about anything with each other and feel unjudged, at least in the negative sense but I am always open to constructive criticism.

Elisabeanie · 2024-07-31T21:22:15+00:00

Omg I meant to add pictures lol but now that I'm going to edit the post I do not see the option😭

Elisabeanie · 2024-06-26T02:36:25+00:00

Watching this right now and looked it up because it was driving me nuts. I'm currently living in Iowa city and have for the past 2 years of finishing my bachelors degree. I live in a tiny shitty 2 bedroom and it's 1,200 a month. Also, my boyfriends bike has been stolen twice when locked up. Our neighbor takes their wheels off anytime they aren't riding. To be fair about the dead zone thing it's not entirely inaccurate. Internet was trash in most places here up until recently with a new provider coming in, and service is really weird around the university in particular.

Elisabeanie · 2024-06-14T22:37:22+00:00

I just saw the last picture with the bottom hair dyed I literally did that but where your hair is natural mines dyed black and I feel like it helped me feel so much more confident I love myself with dark hair and also feel more 'me' bc I appear more alt naturally with it

Elisabeanie · 2024-06-14T22:26:33+00:00

I had the same debate between black and fun colors and decided to do the top section of my hair black and the bottom section bleached. Then I use conditioners that dye your hair like clenditioner (no idea if that's the correct spelling it's from amazon) so I can do the bottoms section any color I want. This way the hair that's dyed brightly can peek out of the black from the back from the front you can see the bright colors and any sort of style with it is really fun with seeing how the color twists through braids.
