I want to leave. I hate this city. I’m scared every time I go outside. The apartment is ugly, white and grey and feels like I am in a prison cell. I’m going crazy in this place and feel like I can’t stand another night here but I have a whole WEEK before my roadtrip to my new house. I just want this awful time to be over, I want to be HOME with my family, I miss my family so much. I feel terrible right now. I am so lonely.
Sorry to hear of the current stress, Anna. I’m living in an apartment too. Subsidized housing. I’ve got it filled with artificial plants to spice up the white walls and general coldness of the area…but still find it quite toxic to my everyday existence. Hang in there.

I used to live in the poorest district of the city when I was sick and before being treated with an antipsychotic. I used to hate my apartment. It was cold and dark. When I became healthy, I came back to university and I had to continue to live at that place while studying because I had no money. Fortunately, I started working and I quickly leaved this place and I have now an apartment that I like a lot.
I wish I had an apartment. I’m so tired of living with my parents and it has felt like a prison this whole time. I wish I was financially stable so I could get an apartment and live on my own. Hopefully it’ll happen in time. As far as living in a bad area, I can feel your concern about it. My small city is one of the worst for crime in Canada but I still can’t wait to get my own place again.
Sorry @Anna Try having some distractions if you can =(

@Anna Are you in the apartment by yourself or do you have roommates?
I’m all by myself. I’m in one of the most dangerous cities in the US. There’s a lot of security on campus but that doesn’t stop me from getting catcalled almost every day, often 30 seconds after stepping out of my building.

@Anna try not to pay attention to catcalls, you don’t know that they are directed at you, you
don’t know what they mean, hold on for dear life, in the future you can change your parameters and become a male.
Even now you can become a (transgender) male if you’re afraid of sexual predators.
@Anna are you in school? Is that why you’re away from your family?
Yes I just have to finish up this last class this is my last week here
What school are you in? going for a masters? I’m so happy for you that you’re on your last class. Then are you done with school for good?
Well, this is your last week and then you’re done with school and you can move back with your family. That’s pretty exciting! Can you distract yourself this week by concentrating on finishing school and packing for the return home?

No I’m just doing my bachelor’s now and I’m not done w school I have to take prereqs for a nursing program and then do the actual nursing program and then do a program to learn how to be a nurse practitioner so basically imma be in school forever LOL
@Anna I am so impressed with your goals. And I’m proud of you for getting your bachelors. That’s really great. If you’re “in school forever” it will be worth it in the end to be able to help people in a meaningful way. It’s a gift you’re getting and a gift you’re giving. I really like that.
