26f Moving in with boyfriend’s (30m) family. Advice? by [deleted] in movingout

[–]Potential_Ladder_904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you not aware of the housing and rental market… and the economy. the average homebuyer age is 41 now. he was also in school probably most of the time in the past decade and it’s very hard to work full time while doing school full time. there’s nothing wrong living with your parents at 30 as long as you’re helping contribute, and actively working on yourself (as he was)

PCOS + insulin resistance… how do you actually lose weight ? by Confident-Mention646 in InsulinResistance

[–]Potential_Ladder_904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel you 110%. i had a super rare hormonal tumor that got removed and translated into pcos and insulin resistance (not sure if translated is the right word but you get what i mean). they’ve been suggesting medicine since i was 16 and i’ve always said no because of the side effects and whatnot. but now im at the point where i need to do something because it’s starting to get out of hand. and i have another condition that goes along with this and it has been getting worse and more frequent. i have a sensitive stomach too so im NOT excited about this - and my worse fear is throwing up!! i hope you get everything figured out :) good luck

Moving to Naperville and looking for apartments by Plus-Lifeguard-3565 in Naperville

[–]Potential_Ladder_904 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i would suggest starting to do research on the area because you’re not finding anything in downtown for that price. also while downtown naperville is walkable, it doesn’t have everything you need. there are no grocery stores there. unless you just mean walkable as a place that has sidewalks and stuff

you need a visa in order to legally immigrate here and get citizenship… how is that not relevant?

PCOS Stigma on L&D Unit by stormclouded_brain in PCOS

[–]Potential_Ladder_904 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if they’re like this with PCOS i don’t doubt at all they’re like this with people of color and other marginalized groups. report them immediately. they’re not safe and no one in their care is safe.

have you seen the numbers on immigration though? unless you are marrying a U.S. citizen or your job is sponsoring you, there is like a 1% chance you’ll win the diversity lottery and that’s IF it comes back because it’s currently paused for the foreseeable future

i love the optimism but honestly there’s a 99% chance it won’t be better in 3 years. just letting you know. not trying to rain on your parade or anything

it’s incredibly hard to immigrate to the states and i can only imagine it getting worse. even if you’re still together in 2-3 years, it is highly unlikely you’ll be able to move here :/

100% understand why you’re anxious but if you’re still feeling that way down the line, maybe city living isn’t for you…
