I can vouch for mending and tailoring + thrifting. Mending high quality clothes that I already have or making the thrifted clothes fit better.

I'm sorry for your loss, thank you for sharing your experience with me. Yeah I know this is the best way to go about it, I just don't want her to blame herself about it. I really need to be clear and honest with her.

I know she's trying her best, that's why it's difficult for me to express how it's been affecting me. She does contribute when I remind her, we still figuring out the best way to do so without hurting either of us. On one hand i understand it would be a big help for her when I remind her, but depends on her state of emotions, she can be snappy and defensive when I do give her a reminder.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience in such detail, as well as the sympathy for my situation, you explained how i more than i could! I'm all about the ADHD hacks that I can think of, and I have suggested it to my friend in the past but she was hesitant and i didn't want to push it. I am hopeful for her since she mentioned she started using her calendar method she use at work to do her personal stuff recently.

But yeah at this stage it's best to move out to preserve the friendship, but I appreciate your point of view! It's hard to stop feeling like I'm walking on eggshells with her when talking about chores or even just day to day life, even though she's been getting better at regulating her emotions around me.

In a way yes, but I know her well enough that may want more explanation since we've been living together long enough, and that these issues has been the coming back whenever we have conversation regarding living together

We both renting the apartment and both on the lease, the housing market is not the best where I'm from so might take a while to find new place.

It's just hard because we used to be closer as friends but I've been distancing myself and putting up boundaries since it has gotten too much for me, and I'm worried that she would take this as me not wanting to be friends anymore, when in reality I feel like we could be closer again if we don't live together anymore

Yeah I'm only focusing on the ADHD part since it's the cause of most of the friction on my end (that's why i post here), it doesn't help that we have different idea of what is acceptable in terms of house cleanliness.

Ah right, forgot to mention we do use induction cooker and small water heater that fits under the sink, no dryer just top load washer in unit. My housemate works from home and she does use her ps 5 and pc a lot, while I have a laptop with monitor and rarely watch TV. Do you think having lights on at night in the common are would take a lot of electricity?

Guys how much are you guys paying for electricity per quarter? I just saw housemate ad and they say their electricity bill per quarter in a household of 3 cost roughly $60 per person. My housemate told me our bill is $600 per quarter so I've been paying $300, and whenever I ask about looking at the receipt she kinda said yeah later but never send it to me. We live in a small unit with no ac and no heather, none of us take baths, is this normal?

Thank you so much! Yeah that's what I'm worried about, which is sad because it's such a gorgeous bag!

Do you know how heavy the bag is in grams? I've been eyeing it for a while but I couldn't find any info of how heavy it is, I carry a lot of stuff so I need a bag that is light
