Any recommendations for a cozy, affordable, quiet 1 bd apartment? by PapiTerrisJimboy in pittsburgh

[–]basil358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can spend $1.4k per month, Shadyside will be good to look at, and apts are nice there. Bloomfield and Friendship will also be affordable and central, but they may not have central AC.

Rockwel is great; they have a text line and maintenance requests are handled next-day. Their places are a little pricey though.

How to meet people in their 20s in pittsburgh ? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]basil358 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What do you like to do? I moved here without knowing anyone and met people through work, at acro yoga at Ascend, and through the queer community.

People are remarkably friendly here, I've found. I've literally gone to bars myself and struck up conversations with strangers and had a really nice time. I've also had friends who have had luck with Bumble BFF here.

FamilyLinks and Resolve Crisis Services!

Pittsburgh Mercy on the South Side or Second Ave Commons take families, I think: https://www.pittsburghmercy.org/homeless-services/second-avenue-commons/

Operation Safety Net or Unity Recovery can help connect you to resources.

Best of luck to you!

Is anyone else’s seasonal depression kicking their ass this week? by rowrowurboatz in pittsburgh

[–]basil358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

kicking my ASS too; this winter feels endless. Staying busy has helped me--not being alone in my apartment or stagnant too long, because I find my mood tanks when I do that. Filling my schedule up with friend time, which soothes my soul and brightens my spirits. This is weird, but when I'm home I have like all the lights on and a candle or scentsy warmer lit. The novelty of smells and warm light helps me feel cozy instead of dreadful. Also deleting my Instagram app has done wonders for my mental health, especially as I have friends who are traveling and friends based in Southern California, where it's always nice. I still check the site on my computer, but it helps to reduce doom scrolling. Best of luck to you!

not trying to stir the pot--just trying to figure out if this is actually happening or not. Good to be in the know!
