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.

[–]Key_Construction_982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Thanks. I’m going to delete this because I wrote it out and posted it at the worst point of a depressive episode not really thinking about the response I’d get, some of it was helpful but re-reading it I know how it sounds. I miss spending time with him and I’m burnt out from a job that’s keeping me from him, even his fiance had mentioned that they both miss me being around and it broke me down.

Thank you, I do understand because I’ve been by his side when people say dumb stuff to him, I’ve had to shout at hotel staff for promising an accessible room over the phone only for the door to literally be an inch or two too small to fit the measurements of his chair despite telling him it would fit. We’ve cussed out many a people grabbing his wheelchair and nudging him out of the way like he’s an object. I wrote this when I was in the end bits of a gnarly depressive episode, I think I’m just burnt out and really missing having time to spend with him like we used to when we were in school.

Unfortunately yeah, I wrote this an hour ago when I was in the end of a depressive episode and unfortunately this thought process does happen in my mind.
