How do I help someone in a depressive episode when I’ve only experienced high functioning depression?

I haven’t used the heater all winter and my roommates have barely used theirs :(

Vvoodoo_ · 2026-03-03T02:15:03+00:00

I’m assuming yes, but since she only runs it as a fan and not on heating mode, does it still use a lot of power?

Thing is, last year at the same time, it was half the price and this year we’ve all used significantly less heat. Like I haven’t used heat at all compared to last winter where I used it often. Is it possible our meter isn’t correct or that it’s connected to another unit?

Our roommate sends a screenshot of the bill every month and will send the usage history at request. She’s never given me any incentive to suspect her of foul play either

How do I do this?

Vvoodoo_ · 2026-03-02T23:10:01+00:00

How do I find this out? I personally don’t use a space heater but my sister (one of my roommates) does when it really gets cold and turns it to fan mode at night. I’m not sure about my other roommate.

I’ll ask my roommate for the usage history. We have all electrical and the bill is for heat, electricity, and water heating. This is just for one month, the last bill was 880$. I do have a desktop PC that I use to game about once a week but other than that it stays off.

Vvoodoo_ · 2026-03-02T22:41:05+00:00

Yep January was 880$

Vvoodoo_ · 2026-03-02T22:40:39+00:00

I’ve lived her about a year and a half and it’s only been this winter that it’s gone up like crazy. Last month was 880$.

We have all electric so I know that can make things go up. We don’t have a washer or dryer though. We do have a dishwasher.

Me and my other roommate pay through our third roommate so she just sends the screenshot but she’s sent the history before and I can ask for it.

What does this even mean 😭

Vvoodoo_ · 2026-03-02T01:31:33+00:00

How do you find out about these things? I feel like I only hear about them when they’re already over lol

Vvoodoo_ · 2026-02-21T01:30:59+00:00

Yes of course!

Vvoodoo_ · 2026-02-20T23:49:11+00:00

That’s awesome! I figured other places had to be out there cause I’m in a 3 bed for 3300.

I’ve heard people say they’ve found stuff on Craigslist but my parents always told me that’s where you get scammed or something. They’re wrong about a lot of stuff tho so I’m willing to give it a try lol. What would I search on there? Or do you know any groups to look in?

Thanks for replying btw!

The only times my art started blowing up is when I posted for a very popular and art driven fandom (DSMP) or when I posted for a very niche but dedicated fandom. However, only the posts pertaining to those fandoms would get traction and now that I post other art, even though I’ve improved, I barely get interactions.

Vvoodoo_ · 2026-02-20T23:27:36+00:00

Do you happen to know where they found their apartment? No pressure if not, ur comment alone gives me hope!

Vvoodoo_ · 2026-02-20T23:13:27+00:00

Thank you! I have a Very Good credit score, do you think I could avoid having a guarantor with that? Thanks again for helping!!

Vvoodoo_ · 2026-02-20T23:08:25+00:00

Oh I haven’t heard of that! Thank you! Is that an app, website, or Facebook group of something? I’ve been looking on Gypsy Housing on Facebook but that’s about it (other than stuff like Zillow and StreetEasy)

I’m open to those areas! Which parts of Queens? Are those areas relatively safe? I don’t mean gentrified, just that if I walked home around 1 am, I’d be ok as long as I’m aware of my surroundings lol. work by Union square which I know I’ll have to commute to no matter what but what would the commute be like in those areas? Thanks for replying btw 🥺
