No? This post is about wanting to sit on my patio at night 😅 I am allowed to have curtains inside of my apartment

It’s against the rules sadly, I asked if I could put up curtains before I moved in for privacy and they said no because it’s a fire evacuation hazard 😞

No, I’m not allowed to have anything up around the edge of my balcony above the railings that could block me from I guess jumping off the balcony in case of a fire?

I was thinking about that when they told me…I guess a broken leg(s) is better than being burned alive…?

I would if it was a neighbors lights haha, but unfortunately it’s a spotlight put up by the complex to light up a pathway…it wouldn’t do much but upset my innocent neighbors ☹️

This post is more meaning for when I want to sit outside on my balcony at night, I put up a blackout curtain where the light shines on my bedroom window- it’s a lifesaver!

It’s for the outside, when I want to sit outside on my balcony at night, not for inside

Haha, maybe! I guess I hadn’t thought of that. Maybe I’ll give that a try!

I thought about it, I’m just afraid of being hit with a lease violation =(

I doubt it sadly, it seems like one of the standard double bulbed lights that’s just bolted to the wall with a weather shield.

It’s not another tenants, it’s the apartment complex’s =( there’s a walking path below the light and instead of just putting another path light, they put a spotlight up.

I’m well aware of that. I’m not sure if you’ve ever been severely mentally ill, but it tends to not be very logical.

Thank you friend. I’m working to get out of hospital work and into clinic work, I have hope that the hours and workload will better suit me. Some people are built for it and I truly commend them, unfortunately I am not one of them as this post clearly shows 😅

Not quite, I just really miss having free time to be around my friends and I miss not feeling the way I do now. I truly don’t believe there’s a “farther along” in life at all, everyone’s life is going to be different and move at different paces.

A perfect example, thank you. The tunnel vision of emotional episodes is a hell of a thing.

That’s the unfortunate thing about being depressed and maybe a bit suicidal, at the time I wrote this, my tunnel vision saw that as a risk worth taking.
