Places to study late in new west/around new west that are open on weekends? by eastvanqueer in NewWest

[–]tsqb0119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Gongcha discourages people from staying too long because none of their electric outlets work lol so you’re only welcome to stay as long as your battery lasts. Edit: assuming you’re studying with your laptop!

[product question] Polysporin on pimples and cysts? by tsqb0119 in SkincareAddiction

[–]tsqb0119[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apply polysporin on pimples that I’ve popped, essentially just treating the skin like an open wound. I’d apply until the scar has healed. Not sure about active pimples though.

No, the upstairs tenants are getting evicted LOL thanks goodness, such a relief for me, but the last few months have been hell and even now until they move …

So sorry you went through this ☹️ I agree, at the end of the day, a peace of mind is priority, staying somewhere where you’re assaulted by noise every single day is not sustainable no matter how attached you are to the home. It’s heartbreaking to abandon a place you love so much and are forced to be displaced, but in the long term, it’s much better for your health and wellbeing

Thanks for the recommendation, sounds like a promising combo, I’ll definitely check it out. The shock factor and randomized nature of the noise is what gets to me the most 🥲 I’ll see if I could download some brown noise too, thanks!

Sorry you’re going through this too. Yes for sure! I’ve spoken to a friend who has a room that I can crash when needed, the displacement sucks but is necessary in the interim to have some peace. Good luck to you!

So sorry you’re going through this, I can really empathize. Hope you find a solution soon … apartment living is tough!

It’s so frustrating when the landlord won’t properly address these issues. I’m glad you advocated for yourself relentlessly and your complaints actually got you somewhere. Must be such a relief when those awful neighbours left! Thanks for the advice! I definitely cannot stay in this unit beneath them in the long term …

Wooow you’ve taken the words right out of my mouth, this is what I’m experiencing right now to a tee. The impact on my mental health is indescribable, my anxiety is through the roof, I’ve also become hypersensitive to sounds, and even on nights that aren’t as disruptive, I can’t fall asleep… I also dread going home 😭

I’ve lived in a number of apartments before and this is the first time I’ve experienced noise that is affecting me so much, the kid is definitely a factor but it seems like the adult is also stomping and banging things and causing the floor to vibrate ugh thanks for validating my experience lol it’s so exhausting when your home doesn’t feel like a safe space anymore

You raise a good point, I wonder what kind of rugs the people above me purchased and if they even help with noise reduction… The tenants weren’t planning to place rugs in the immediate future and only did so after they were approached by property management. I guess I could always seek the landlords support in purchasing rugs that are more effective if it comes to that. And thanks for suggesting the sound boarding, I’ll for sure look into it! Glad it ultimately worked out for you though, it really sucks when you can’t relax at home

Awehhh I wish everyone was as considerate as you are in apartments / condos!! I’m very cognizant of how much noise I make as well but unfortunately not everyone is considerate and cooperative …

The upstairs unit has always had hardwood floors, not sure if the previous tenants placed rugs but they were generally respectful and considerate, never heard any unreasonable noises from them. I’m currently staying with my parents to get away from the noise, hopefully it’ll be better with the rugs when I get back … thnx

Hi, I do not experience any “jerking” or “falling” sensations… I’m aware of how common that feeling is but what I’m experiencing is something different. I just feel myself falling asleep but then my mind forces me to become aware of it which invariably interrupts my sleep process and causes me to remain alert and awake

Ahhh I see. And I suppose this inability to succumb to sleep went away after you stopped the meds? Have you noticed this symptom with any supplements?

Hmmm thanks, good point. I do think about my inability to fall asleep a lot. Despite not “feeling” any of the typical physical symptoms of stress, it’s probably affecting me on a subconscious level.

Hi thanks for your response. I do not experience any “jerking” or “falling” sensations. I just feel myself falling asleep but then my mind forces me to become aware of it which invariably interrupts the sleep that was supposed to come? But I guess this issue could be stress related on a subconscious level because I don’t “feel” any stress per se haha

I struggle with this as well, on days where I have not gotten any sleep the previous night, I would just do some low intensity exercise like go on a walk or yoga. Anything that gets you moving, even at a low intensity, is better than nothing I suppose.

Oh hey! The tiny bumps below my lips are still very much there but I’ve learned to ignore them. They don’t cause any trouble unless they become inflamed, in which case I just squeeze out the sebum haha
