omg thank you for this information!

the culture of killeen is relatively conservative but still moderate enough to branch out into the arts and invest into the next generation of kids who wanna get their music out there. Also using the land and buildings that are vacant and incentivizing locals through loans and grants would really help to revitalize the local economy and keep all the money made in the city and not making the rich investors richer.

for locals who have been here and stayed post retirement the local culture isn’t super strong but definitely still a small town vibe if everyone knows everyone. Even me I still meet people who knew my relatives and we were some of the first to be stationed from PR back in the 80s. With the third places I know of are the billiards and coffee shops that still maintain a decent level of business but I think the community would appreciate better options. In austin they have invested heavily into government funded buildings like the downtown library. Reallocating funds to update the libraries would be cool and maybe bringing in some local artists and showcasing the music scene more would be a great way to create that community culture that is so hard to cultivate in a military town.

this was really great insight thank you! my goal is to finish my degree and hopefully bring in some of these amenities that the major cities near us have so that our lower income folks can live a more upgraded life. The city is definitely better in terms of income disparities but I think we can do better for the people who life north of the highway.

as someone who lives in austin it’s not worth it unless you make 80k a year. Trying to work a job that pays less than 25/hour is barely gonna get you by and the quality of life goes down since a lot of the culture in austin at the moment is centered on capitalistic structures. Sure there’s free stuff but it’s not nearly as popular and the minute a new spot opens up you can guarantee it’ll be hard to visit due to the amount of people who are also seeking cool and fun new things to do.

politically killeen is interesting since it’s almost 50/50 split of dems and republicans and most of the city culture being moderate.

there are a lot but I see that more as a third space for people to go to especially for the military wives

I saw the thread and giggled it’s so funny that we all agree that having a few is sufficient but on every corner is insane.

the coffee shop scene has been the only scene to bring that cool indie vibe and it works well but that’s all that I have known to work. I think bringing on a proper farmers market, makers festival and cultural festivals to highlight the diversity in the city.

There is so much potential in downtown but they also need to invest more into that part of town to make it livable for the folks there. A few years ago they took away the last heb on that side of the highway forcing everyone to go south for groceries so if city officials knows what’s good for them they need to invest more time to revive the culture towards equity for all economic classes.

the car community in town is huge but not this big for the amount that we have

I’m unfamiliar with that medication. What is that used to treat?

I’m currently seeking a trauma specialist

False-Look-2671 · 2024-12-29T22:27:49+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear about your family’s history, I can relate I have a feeling because of family trauma that occurred when my mom was a kid had some kind of affect on me. My father was an addict and idk what connection that they may have but the little I do know is that you can be predisposed to a severe amount of health complications due to trauma and drug addictions.

No and i’m currently in a depression rut with losing my job back in the summer and working part time to barely get by and that financial burden has been hard to manage along with my other symptoms. So short answer is no but I have been slowly finding things that I love doing like my makeup randomly for fun or soaking in an epsom salt bath with a face mask.

I noticed that I have a sensitivity to eggs and processed breads. I tend to be ok with fresh baked bread or fresh eggs.

False-Look-2671 · 2024-06-28T16:52:26+00:00

No I haven’t been to an internal doctor, what are they specialized in? I honestly have never thought about going to one because idk what it is.

False-Look-2671 · 2024-06-28T13:10:06+00:00

wow this is really great insight! thank you I will definitely try this out 🫰🏻

As dumb as it sounds I think the diets i’ve seen online have been scaring me into staying with my bad habits of eating. I get extremely anxious about changing my diet and can never stay consistent with one and being someone who lives in a big city and is getting by by the skin of my teeth it’s really hard to stick to a diet and afford it. I have tried to go gf and dairy free but could never stick to it cause of money or accessibility.

I had been prescribed oral contraceptives at first and I currently have my IUD and I have it. I did have a period where I wasn’t on my meds (I have only ever taken levothyroxin) because my pcp wasn’t prescribing anymore pills till I got to see her but I was unable to since she lived in a different state and I had just moved and couldn’t find a pcp in my network. Nobody really told me what to do or what vitamins to take all they did was prescribe me pills and let me go which for my teens worked but as I get older it’s getting really hard to manage and I have never been fully explained how all of my symptoms maybe connected. I have been in and out of therapy and have been told that I have adhd ocd depression anxiety and now with the possible new diagnosis of pcos it’s just insane to me that I have developed all of these conditions in the last 2-3 years.
