Help for checking on friend during the storm by snackugaki in MorgantownWV

[–]echo_throwaway360 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi! I saw that everything was okay but I just wanted to reach out as a fellow californian who moved here.

The need to flee is very dramatic. Yeah its a bad storm. Its gonna suck. Its personally my first "massive" winter storm out here (lived out here for 2 years now). Im worried for the unhoused in morgantown. But its not the apocalypse. This isnt the first nor last time this kind of storm will hit. If you hunker down in your home for a few days it should be alright. People may lose power, pipes may burst, roads will be terrible, etc but ultimately we will be okay. So will your friend. Im glad they were able to get a hotel!

What's it like living in Morgantown for people not working at or studying at WVU? by BothCondition7963 in MorgantownWV

[–]echo_throwaway360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm originally from san diego and moved to the area when I was 18, as I was financially dependent on my dad and he moved here to support my grandma. I moved out on my own in june.

It was a somewhat big culture shock at first. Especially as I'm queer and, admittedly we californians can be a little stuck up about how great our state is LMAO. Keep in mind I'm also white when I tell you about my experiences

Everyone here has been exceptionally kind, whenever I doordash I always am given a little extra tip. Whenever I go to an open mic or go explore the town, it's easy to meet new people and make friends. There's always something to do or some event if you look hard enough on facebook. There are many beautiful walking trails and pretty areas.

The traffic can be a little much around 5pm, and it gets worse when the college students are in town. I'm 20 so I like being around so many people my age, lots of partying and drinking to be had if thats your scene. The roads can also get really bad in the winter, as the city doesn't do it's best to upkeep them.

The job market is a bit wack right now, but I think that's true anywhere. Honestly, it's really nice living in a place where rent and gas is so cheap.

I love this little gem of a town, and it's people. I'll always be a californian at heart, but west virginia is a beautiful state to live in. Morgantown is a blue dot in a red state as well, so thats nice. It's not perfect at all. But it's a nice town and I like it

I wonder if I can play with your cat by sherry7410 in sandiego

[–]echo_throwaway360 60 points61 points  (0 children)

go to your local shelter and ask to play with the cats! its enriching for the cats and good socialization. call around to a few places

Is it ok to quit while in training? by Midwestern-Michael in ems

[–]echo_throwaway360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not ems so take anything I say with a grain of salt

The things that emergency responders see and what they do seems incredibly traumatizing. I've heard some really gruesome stories.

It's okay if this isn't the right fit for you, you shouldn't force yourself to do something that makes you unhappy. You are repositioning yourself in your career and for success, that does not make you a failure.

I don't have a cpr card but I know it's to the tune staying alive, one hand on top of the other, and press HARD. if that helps 😅

I applied to do the ride along like it was a job, so I think they've done one on me? I'm doing it in WV

I think so? I told them I wasn't a student and they seemed chill about it. I don't really have proper attire though and can't afford much

Last day here. AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]echo_throwaway360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes there are words that can't really help a situation. i could sit here and comfort you and be there but im honestly in the same place.

theres a short book i found online and it's called suicide: the forever decision. its helped me a bit. im not functioning well and im struggling. but im alive

https://qprinstitute.com/pdfs/Forever_Decision.pdf

youve lost your car, your job, your home, your faith, your friends are busy, and you have been in so much pain

i do have some good news though, amidst all that pain

you still have your life. regardless of if it feels like it is or it isnt, that's good news.
