I think it's time I move out

Post Reply New Topic

Okay so living in a building full of strangers, with shared kitchen and bathrooms is bound to have problems. Especially since it's not staffed. There is no one to organize and look over things. Someone is eating my food from the fridge. The dishes are piling up and people are supposed to do them right after eating. But they dont. I had to clean s**t off the bathroom floor the other day. There is a guy here that treats me like s**t. And many other problems. I hope mental health can find me an affordable apartment that isn't a dive. I am on disability and don't think I can handle a job. I need to get out of here. This place seems more suited to being a short time stay.

sounds like a really bad situation. Yep, i have been in situations in the past where i have had to live with people or close to people such as when at uni.

Students can be a really bad case scenario as well, what you are describing sounds similar.
When i went to uni the first time, the college halls were i first lived weren't well sound insulated
and some daft student who lived below me who was doing a degree in sport, used to come back several times a week
at the early hours in the morning and put on crap 80s music at top volume when he was super drunk.

As i am hypersensitive to sound, and need more sleep than normal people. i got to the stage where i almost
committed a major assault against this guy cause the conditions was making me ill.

The second time i went to college, i decided not to be put in shared housing, which then upset someone who contacted
me before going to college, who wanted to share a flat with me.
The problem is i have ASD, and during that time, i didn't even know or understand the condition, i just knew that living with this guy (or anyone else) would make me ill. But he took it personally and was a real douche bag to me for the entire course. So no win situation.

Yep. still, i recommend that you get someone to help you with your housing situation, as nothing more upsetting that housing. Even if you can get a decent bedsit, with your own living space, kitchen and ideally bathroom
would at least mean that you are able to control what goes on in the place. and also you only need to clean up your own mess, and you are the only one who eats your food.

Now, please try and refrain from doing anything malicious with regards to the food. such as spiking with laxative.
As although i can understand why someone would do this for revenge, spiking someone with laxative is classified as assault and battery, and people can serve a prison sentence for such a violation if they are caught.

Of course, if someone was stealing your food with lax in, then it would be extremely hard to prove. As the food wasn't theirs, and i also assume that someone has the right to lax themselves. but still, i think it probably better to
stay on the side of moral high ground, for your own spiritual well being... also, if you use too much lax, you can potentially kill someone. it is rare but apparently can happen. can cause kidney failure. especially if someone is super drunk.

still, keep on in there if you can, try and get someone to put you up for a few nights. until you have a decent place of your own.

I hope you find somewhere nice that is suitable and just right for you. (Hugs). You need somewhere nice where you can enjoy, unwind and be yourself.

I have made sure to not piss anyone off. They treat me like s**t anyway but I try not to piss them off to make it worse. I am sort of smug here because there is free cable, wifi and I dont have to pay a power bill. There is a dryer but the wash machine is broken. Someone takes out the garbage for me. For now at least. Those are about the only perks. I mean if I couldn't get wifi in an apartment I could just go to a location that has it during the day. Hopefully I won't go nuts with boredom.

That doesn't sound preferable at all. Especially if you're someone who values your privacy and alone time.

I don't even like the though of moving out with one or two roommates I don't know, so I understand your desire to leave that living situation.

Do you know how much the cheapest rentals are in your area? Will disability cover rent as well as your weekly expenses. If not, is there anyone you could move out with?

The only woman I know that wants to be roomates I dont trust. She is addicted to codine, and scams an old man she is friends with, out of his money. When he's gone, she might get desperate. Ive seen this girl around town that used to live in a group home. I over heard her say she has her own apartment now. She seems to be doing fine. Maybe they can arrange something for me as well.

Can you talk to that girl (the one who's not scamming the old man) about how she got that apartment?

I dont know. She has some sort of disability. Shes hard to understand. Worried if I ask her that I wont know what she is saying! I have an appointment with my psychiatrist at the end of the month. Maybe he can point me in the right direction. Hopefully all my food in the fridge wont get eaten. At least I have some stuff locked in a cupboard but its not as filling as whats in the fridge.
