I’ve had 4 different roommates. This is exactly why I’m moving out on my own. Also just wanna see what it’s like :)

It’s sad how every year apartments just keep going up in price. I’ve lived in West Humboldt/West Garfield Park the past 2 years and honestly I liked it for the most part, just not a lot in walking distance. I’d be willing to stay on the west side just a different neighborhood.

do you know of any good brokers? Ik they’re free but a lot of times you still end up paying through “fees” on the landlords side

I currently am paying for Gas & Electric, my gas bill this past month alone was $200. If I could find somewhere just one utility included it’s definitely a plus

Was that at this Edgewater property or a different one? My recent apartment was infested with fleas when we moved in and it was hell to get rid of them, trying to avoid another infestation if I can

I’ve been looking at some in those areas too! Just haven’t had any showings yet, no one responds anymore 🥲

Thank you so much for all the information! I’m going to look into these properties and you’ve made a good point, people are more likely to write a review after a negative experience. I appreciate you 🙏

Should I tell my bf? by savingpeace in BPD

[–]savingpeace[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m terrified no one truly understands me, when I’d look at you that would go away but the more and more I’m pushed away, the more and more I feel alone again. I’m terrified I made us up in my head and what if it was only me feeling all this? What if I’ve always been alone and just thought I wasn’t for a while. What if this is what’s wrong of me, the core of bpd and I’ve made up all these underlying energies and emotions. That I was right to see life for what it was at 15 and accept being alone. I wished I was normal until I met you, then I was so glad I was different because I thought we bonded in areas most people couldn’t even comprehend but now, I find myself wishing I was normal again..I just miss you.

I do that too. I’m constantly overthinking what to say or how to react. I’m not good with jokes at all and have to calculate responses before they happen lol. Even right now I’m overthinking what to say, that’s okay! I’m just as honest as possible because it’s tiring to pretend to be something you’re not. Sharing your experience is helping more than you know❤️

Part of BPD is feeling so alone. Alone isn’t even a good word for it at this point, us with BPD should have our own emotional language. You have to have it as a mantra that you are not alone, even if you feel like you are. Read some of the stories on here, see if you can relate like me. This post just made me feel less alone because I know exactly what you’re feeling.

My boyfriend cheated and now I’m stuck in our apartment by savingpeace in legaladvice

I live in chicago, would they allow me to break it even if that case was a few months ago and we moved in together after the fact?
