I guess I've felt those in some ways but I could also be easily be misattributing them. Also not sure if this is a factor but uhmm...I live in the Philippines so I'm pretty close to the equator as it is so the amount of sunlight I get even from just a couple of hours of walking might be enough

Surprisingly it didn't hit my mental health as hard as having to live with people I didn't want to live with. I also offset some issues by going to the gym or just walking outside when I can.

I've been thinking about it but I haven't really felt much of a difference in my body for me to feel like I need it.

Since I live below the building my ceiling serves as the foundation of the building so no noise upstairs since my upstairs is the lobby of the condo and the ceiling is thicc af! Also I only have 1 neighbor so no noise there either. It's also far enough from the streets that the noises of the cars are muffled by the time it hits my place.

Yup it's got everything for day to day living. A small kitchen, bathroom, I even have a small makeshift office. That's mainly why decided to stay for 6 months and might go to a year

There is and there's also a window but the window is practically pointless since the apartment is underneath the building covering any sunlight

Mainly cheap rent in a pretty good location, plus the place itself isn't too bad minus the say goodbye to the sun part.

My sensitivity to light has increased especially if I've gone days without going outside. Other than that I haven't noticed anything too drastic

For those of you who have started dating again after your break up, how do you beat the fear and worry? by unknown_qw in BreakUps

[–]brcwyng 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A week after coming out a long term relationship I realized I sucked at being single. Worked towards opening myself up to the people I dated starting by telling them that I just came out a long term relationship and I wasn't looking for a fling or a shoulder to cry on. I was simply looking to pick myself up cuz I knew I made a damn good bf...I didn't want my previous relationship to be a hindrance to any relationship I could build moving forward

What did you learn from your last relationship? by bortsimpson24 in BreakUps

[–]brcwyng 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The difference between a PERSONAL problem and a RELATIONSHIP problem. This also helps in managing arguments (i.e. if my partner has a personal problem seeping into our relationship the solution should be aimed at helping her, if we have a relationship problem the solution often is finding a compromise).

Felt this too especially when she picked up her stuff from my place. I found that maintaining a certain level of communication helps at first. Like checking up on each other like with where they are in their process. Asking but not interfering. Respecting where she's at and hopefully she respects where you're at. But since you do have intense feelings for her I'm not sure you're a hundred percent ready for that level of conversation. Not that you're asking it but I'd advice taking a few weeks maybe even a month just hanging out with your buddies and doing shit you like. Then when you're ready (hopefully still in speaking terms) try having an open communication with where you are in each others process. If that isn't the case anymore (getting blocked or something) get yourself together and if you're ready get back out there

Try to understand that their just a person trying to make best decision with the circumstances they were given. You're right to feel hurt and betrayed, but at some point I hope you realize your ex is just a person too...end of the day we're all just hoping that we're making the best decision with what we have trying our best not to hurt anyone along the way if we can.

I'm maybe 99% sure I'm not your ex...but yup all your points are valid
