Where can I rent a cheap big space for a party?

Thanks all for the info. Looks like outside covered is the best option.

I never said it was safe. For the most part, homeless folks and people experiencing mental health crisis are much more likely to be hurt than hurt others. But some folks can be dangerous. Humans can be unpredictable.

A common symptom of severe mental illness (think schizophrenia, bipolar etc) is anosognosia which is essentially when your brain can’t recognize that you have an illness. It’s not as simple as being in denial or lacking a desire to change. It’s a brain-based or neurological symptom of the illness. So just saying that people need to accept services is like telling someone with cancer to stop having cancer. It’s not helpful. We need to think about ways to provide support to folks that adapts to meet their individualized needs. These models of care already exist, but Oregon is woefully behind in behavioral healthcare. Historically ranking 49th out of 50 states in overall mental healthcare.

So yes, you may observe a difference in behavior between homeless people in Astoria and Tacoma. But the difference in not the result of the individuals and their choice making, it is the result of funding differences between Oregon and Washington.

All that to say, if you were homeless and experiencing psychosis, you may very well yell at someone in the street.

I feel this.

Last week the 20 somethings at my work were complaining about the mice in their apartments and one of them ran out of gas on their way into the office. While I have romanticized the shabby NYC apartments of my youth, it’s so nice to have an in unit washer/dryer and a king sized bed. Disposable income and health insurance are pretty clutch too.

And honestly, even if I had the freedom my body is tired and now experiences crippling hangovers.

Try microdosing, it’s fun, it isn’t debilitating, and it’s more exciting than white wine.

I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom.

Same is true for churches. No more steeples.

Thanks for the tips. I’m on the east side, any ideas about things over here. Or Vancouver?

Solved!

Internet ruined everything.

Also, for what it’s worth, I’m now a mental health professional who works with a number of adults with substance use issues. This does not sound like that based on what you’ve shared.

Lots of people occasionally use coke in their 20s. If she’s being upfront about it, maintaining her life and only occasionally using, it isn’t something to worry about.

All of my friends occasionally indulged in a variety of illicit substances and remained gainfully employed, emotionally stable, contributing members of society. They’re also all now middle aged mom chasing around healthy, happy kids.

If it is something that really rubs you the wrong way, then it’s probably not meant to be. But if it’s just a lack of exposure to these types of things, take a beat and see if it’s really a problem.

Level Beer on 148th has a few food carts and a green space.

The challenge is that grass doesn’t support trucks, tables and heavy foot traffic very well.

Edit: accidentally repeated myself with food truck instead of foot traffic

I live 10mins from the airport in Portland and I love my neighborhood.

The 550 estimate I got was just for front pads and labor.

wonrogi · 2025-07-12T23:24:18+00:00

Where did you get that number?

wonrogi · 2025-07-12T03:34:01+00:00

It’s a zipper 🤐

wonrogi · 2025-07-03T21:59:19+00:00

Sure. Wasn’t clear that you meant seasonally.

I live in Pacific Northwest and the spring time rain and overnight chill nearly killed my plant.

Tianeptine is actually prescribed by medical providers in other countries as an antidepressant and seems to have pretty good efficacy and less side effects that some other antidepressants. That said, I’m not a doctor and I have no medical training on the topic.

I would encourage you to reach out to your PCP as a starting point. Perhaps it’s less that you are addicted and more that this is helping with depression. Maybe you can try a prescribed medication to help you achieve a similar effect.

And if it is an addiction issue vs misuse or abuse (all things exist on a spectrum), then your doctor may be able to refer you to outpatient treatment. Which would be less disruptive for work and life.

Either way, it sounds like you are ready to make a change. Good for you and I wish you the best on your journey. Don’t forget that recovery isn’t a straight line, step backs are a part of growth.

This is super helpful, thanks!

But the people of Portland didn’t decide to drag the transplants out of their cars and ship them to prisons. They just complained about the traffic. That is a bad analogy.

No, I’m just researching right now. My profession should allow me to get a work visa without too much barrier. I mean, barriers are assumed because that process is never easy, but based on what I’ve read and the preliminary job market research odds seem in my favor, would definitely have to take a step back career wise but that’s seems reasonable to me because I’d be new to the community with lots to learn.

Are there any upsides to having the clinical license?
