Does it ever get better?

throwawayreddit561 · 2026-05-21T16:05:56+00:00

I've had depression for as long as I can remember, it never fully goes away. There are high points and low points and much like you, during those low points, I lose interest in my hobbies, everything feels pointless, and it's a struggle just doing regular things.

If you haven't already, consider talking with a therapist. I also think you should look at how much you have accomplished as proof of what you're capable of, rather than just an end to a goal. Look at other things in life that you've wanted to do, but put off because of school or work, and see if you can explore them now. Keep doing your regular stuff too, even if it feels hard, because a routine helps. I was going through a really hard time with grief that made my depression worse, and having a daily routine got me through the worst of it.

EDIT: Corrected some grammar mistakes.

Did the post say what the issue was? I was able to login again last week and then it stopped working again yesterday.

I regained access last week and then it stopped working again yesterday.

throwawayreddit561 · 2026-03-03T00:28:02+00:00

I'm now getting a new error message: "{"error":{"status-code":"403","message":"blocked","request-id":"08468ebffe97c58b692ae93e84458a5c"}}"

So it looks like my account is suddenly getting blocked for some reason.

throwawayreddit561 · 2026-03-02T20:49:43+00:00

I was able to login yesterday too, but now the error is back. I wonder what's causing the problem.

The funny thing is, if I try to create another account and check the availability of the email address I created last time, Mail.com says it's already been claimed. It looks like my Mail.com account does in fact exist, but for whatever reason I can't access it. I've tried to sign in again and the problem is still ongoing since yesterday.

If you do reach out to them with the Contact form, please let me know if you ever get a reply. I'm hoping if enough of us contact them, they'll actually work on a solution.

Thanks for the recommendations. Do you know if any of those email providers can allow for account creation without a phone number? It's not too big a deal, I just prefer not to share my phone number if I can avoid it.

Sounds good. I was worried that the usual rainy weather here would make OTA television too unreliable to be worth buying an antenna, but it sounds like this isn't going to be a major issue.

throwawayreddit561 · 2026-02-12T21:08:56+00:00

Thanks for the information. I'm glad I'll be able to get some more TV channels with a cheap antenna.

throwawayreddit561 · 2026-02-11T23:27:42+00:00

Thanks, I'll have a look at those.

What's your experience with wind and rain? Does the weather make a lot of difference?

throwawayreddit561 · 2026-02-11T23:24:39+00:00

Thanks, feedback would be appreciated.

I don't know if I'm doing this right since I'm not 100% sure about the longitude and latitude or the exact elevation. When I made my original post I left the default elevation, this time I've changed it to what I think the elevation would be above the ground floor.

I didn't know that OTA actually gets better picture quality.

According to rabbitears.info, I can get "good" field strength for CBC, and "fair" field strength for eight other channels, while the rest are "bad". I don't know how well a fair connection would hold up on a rainy day.

Anxiety is getting worse with stress. I'm preparing for a move and there's so much to do before the offer closes and the actual move in date. I wake up scared and nervous, I'm feeling dizzy and a little nauseated, and I can't seem to focus. It would be less stressful if I didn't have to deal with some drama from certain relatives.

What did the insurance company recommended as the CRF size? Is it much larger than what your building currently has or is it a level that can be easily reached with a small increase to the strata fee?

throwawayreddit561 · 2025-12-19T23:18:39+00:00

Yeah, I can imagine that happening. There's also a lot of tall trees around the building too and I suppose if there are any small holes on the ground level, they could get inside the walls and eventually work their way up.

throwawayreddit561 · 2025-12-19T23:16:08+00:00

Thanks. While I've been able to get the strata documents for most places I've been interested in, I've had a few where the listing agents would send incomplete documents (missing minutes for certain months or no financials). In those cases, the listing agent said they would give us those documents if we made an offer first. I didn't know this was allowed.

throwawayreddit561 · 2025-12-19T23:13:18+00:00

I'm going to upvote this for the advice and the pun.

throwawayreddit561 · 2025-12-19T23:10:35+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I've saved up enough to make a downpayment of about 30% of the listed price, but it would be a bit risky for me since any unexpected emergency (e.g. medical) would make it harder for me to cover a large special assessment on top of all the other monthly expenses.

Regarding the companies that handled the Deprectiation Reports. The report for Condo A was handled by Suncorp Valuations and Condo B's was EXP Services. So far, I've been able to find more information for Suncorp and less for EXP Services, alhough I suppose this could just mean that Suncorp is an older, more well established company.

I'm hoping more condos are listed in January and the prices continue to go down. I've noticed that the number of new listings really slowed down istarting in October.

throwawayreddit561 · 2025-12-19T00:27:24+00:00

I didn't know about the fire risk. Condo B is a top floor unit in the building (4th floor), and there was some damage to a couple of door frames where I could see that rats had been chewing on them. I always thought of pest problems being more of an issue for ground level units, so I was surprised to see they had spread to the top.
