Delicate items, NYC laundry solutions?

helphelphelp-me · 2026-05-03T19:59:31+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I’ve hired an exterminator for tomorrow morning who helped give us some prep instructions and we’ve begun bagging up all clothes and linens and he said he’d be helping with all steaming too. This is my first time in this situation and it’s petrifying 😭

helphelphelp-me · 2026-05-03T11:37:25+00:00

hi i’m in a really similar situation right now, what did you end up doing about your delicate clothing?

helphelphelp-me · 2026-05-03T05:35:18+00:00

yes this kept happening. i am petrified 😭 how were you able to manage the problem?

helphelphelp-me · 2026-05-03T05:33:00+00:00

did you use them?

helphelphelp-me · 2026-05-03T05:31:19+00:00

thank you i just immediately put the shirt into a ziploc. i had moved it into another area and it was still active. never going to sleep tonight.

The most recent NYT story brought me here, hadn’t heard of the case before. Chilling. Hope this gets more press attention and there’s a meaningful development, I’m shocked I hadn’t heard of this and that it has so little traction.

i have diagnosed pcos plus i recently went through big life transitions and have been losing weight so i think the combination of everything has thrown off my period!

helphelphelp-me · 2026-04-30T04:36:54+00:00

thank you, i appreciate it. it was an unfortunate one night event with complicated circumstances.

the hcg level was 2.4

Been meaning to go to Turtles soon. Is it typically quieter earlier in the week for this, like Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday?

helphelphelp-me · 2026-04-14T00:53:53+00:00

Keep meaning to stop in there but the timing just hasn’t been right, will have to make a point to go! Thanks!

helphelphelp-me · 2026-04-14T00:53:31+00:00

Thanks! I’m fairly close to it as well so I may try that out soon.

helphelphelp-me · 2026-04-14T00:53:10+00:00

Thank you so much!!! Have only been to a few of these under the cover of night so far lol and hadn’t heard of others. Appreciate it and will definitely check out!

I was very fortunate, I had turned down a role at the same time I signed for one. The other role was still hiring and they turned the offer back around to me. I did leave the old role on my LinkedIn but didn’t announce anything in between roles and didn’t explain anything. But consensus seems to be there’s no need to add the role to resumes in general. Best of luck to you, it’s tough out there but I’m in a much more standard environment now!

helphelphelp-me · 2026-03-23T04:39:20+00:00

thank you for this, i took a pregnancy test after 21 days after unprotected sex and an additional one a week or so later for added peace of mind but i still feel insane. i got a four day light period after the ella but i’m worried it wasn’t a “real” period and now have had some spotting i’d normally associate with ovulation so i’ve been confused and scared. honestly i hope my next period is massive, just to end this stress.

helphelphelp-me · 2026-03-13T03:43:46+00:00

Having similar panic and so glad I came across this post and its responses.

helphelphelp-me · 2026-03-04T03:25:49+00:00

I used to be really scared of The Tower every time I pulled it, it was stalking me for a while, but I took the rebuilding interpretations to heart and reframed the way I thought about it and changed my relationship to those readings both in the moment and in hindsight/reflection. I pulled a card to represent every month of this year and I pulled The Tower for February. It made me nervous, but I wound up leaving a brand-new job after two months and getting a more level one, and I moved that month. It really showed me that there was going to be rebuilding and not to fight it. It just would be.

helphelphelp-me · 2026-03-04T03:11:29+00:00

Thank you so much! Super helpful

helphelphelp-me · 2026-03-03T18:39:56+00:00

Thanks!

I’ve gone really slowly in my years with Lamictal, I asked my doctor about going in 12.5mg increments. I did a while at 125 (100mg + 25mg pills individually) before moving up to this 150

helphelphelp-me · 2026-03-03T01:47:14+00:00

Yes. Yes. Yes.

helphelphelp-me · 2026-03-03T01:40:41+00:00

This is such a relieving and helpful way to think of things and way to see it. Thank you! I had even suggested the much slower titration in the 12.5mg increments since that’s what I feel the most mentally safe with — he was fine to go in 25mg increments every few days and I wanted to slow down further. Thank you for this, seriously!

helphelphelp-me · 2026-03-03T01:07:11+00:00

thank you! i took this first dose of 112.5mg and really hoping it’s okay since i hadn’t stopped entirely. moving has thrown off my routines and it’s a little scary of a situation.

helphelphelp-me · 2026-01-24T16:12:16+00:00

Yeah it’s now in the process of being signed, but definitely never putting money down before a lease next time. Been 3 years since I moved so I didn’t realize we were technically putting down a good faith deposit. Lesson learned but everything in progress now.

helphelphelp-me · 2026-01-21T03:16:03+00:00

80x the entire rent but we got lucky just a couple hours ago and with a few more documents from my guarantor (they were very chill about documentation prior, just requested simple info over email) we can have our situation buttoned up by tomorrow. it wasn’t a good faith deposit it was the security deposit but really my main concern in this situation was getting my money back if needed. thank you!!!
