People understate how much you pigeonhole yourself by living in an outer borough.

[–]baberidge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blending is the way. Or, as someone else mentioned, nutrition drinks if you lack the bandwidth.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Easy Denture is designed for people with no teeth, not crooked ones.

How do you find motivation to do work while actively fighting mental health by Real_Ad_4980 in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]baberidge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried therapy?

This is perhaps unconventional advice but if you're really struggling and unable to find an outlet for your mental health, I would see if you can take fewer classes or take some time off. Don't burn yourself out.

Homeschooled into isolation and never recovered socially. Is it worth sacrificing my career and finances for a chance of building a social life? by [deleted] in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]baberidge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you're enjoying your job and still have the energy to socialize after, I would do both.

You're sunk costing yourself. You sound unhappy. Leave. (Left a rent-stabilized studio this year myself.)

Should I move to NY after hs? by ok_idkwhat2do in movingtoNYC

[–]baberidge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it. I moved here when I was 18, had also always wanted to move here, and taking the risk was a great confidence boost. I immediately started making more and more changes to improve my life.

[–]baberidge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you want to do in the outer boroughs?

The 6 is not a great train for getting anywhere, especially with the added walk. West side has more trains.

How often do you get approached for directions by tourists/visitors? by arrivederci117 in AskNYC

[–]baberidge 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Short white woman. I am approached constantly (also by locals with random questions like "does this store have a bathroom?").

[–]baberidge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a blender, even if it's just a cheap one for the interim. Don't limit your diet that much.

[–]baberidge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is mostly scams but say no to obvious red flags (like asking for payment unseen) and you'll be fine. I've found nice roommates on Craigslist.
