I’m not really in tune with the reputations of each complex, and recommendations of which are good or places to stay away from would be amazing!

Update for the a-holes in the comments: some people split rent with their partner and make enough that $2,000 per person is in no way ridiculous 🙄 and there are a million apartments that look excellent online that have terrible reputations. No matter how much research you do online it’s smart to get info from actual residents and unbiased opinions. You know…. Like on Reddit…

Also: parking is typically about $100 per car for these apartments so considering utilities, having total monthly be $4,000 it may very well have a $3,500 base rent. If you think that’s ridiculous for a high rise in downtown then we can agree to disagree

Hello hello! Does anyone have any opinions on the Elle West Avenue apartments? The location looks really great but I figured I’d ask here because I’m not as in-tune with the apartment reputations.

Hi Y’all,

I am currently living at the domain and am looking to move downtown this fall. Would love a 2 bed, 2 bath, under $3,600.

No particular preference on which neighborhood, just not too far south or east.

Thanks!!!

Hi All,

I’m looking for an all inclusive resort somewhere in the Caribbean that won’t take a ton of flights to get to (I’m in TX). It’s for an anniversary trip. We’re looking to stay 4 nights in mid October. Trying to stay under $4,000 if possible.

I would really appreciate any recommendations you have!!

Ok another question on this thread talking about the stages of hemorrhoids got me researching this. I have had both internal and external hemorrhoids. If they are external I have always been too scared to touch them so I just am extra careful with my diet and wiping and take some warm baths and they resolve themselves. Serious medical question if any of you know and sorry this is so gross, are you supposed to push them back in? Am I risking infection if I don’t? I’ve always assumed touching them is worse but now I’m not sure if that’s the right thing to do 😭 it also seems like it would really hurt so I don’t know :(

I suffered with anxiety/depression throughout my upbringing and didn’t realize how much it impacted my mind, behavior, and life until I got on medication shortly after I graduated college. First and foremost, I am extremely grateful to have found relief. I know that I am lucky to have found a solution that helps me feel so much better, and I understand that many many people face far greater challenges with their mental health than I do, please don’t think I’m ungrateful. That is not my intention.

Growing up I was always an awkward kid. I had frequent bouts of insomnia and was always on edge to the point I cracked a molar from clenching my jaw so tight. My family made fun of me and referred to me as “the hermit” because after school I would get home and go straight to my room for a 3 hour nap (more realistically just laying under the covers overthinking), followed by small conversations at the dinner table, and then pacing around my room with earbuds in. They constantly mentioned disappointment with how little I hung out with friends. I was always a back-burner friend, the one who found out that the friend group all hung out without inviting me and that they only invited me to homecoming dinner to have me wait for the table until everyone else arrived (I’ll spare you the long painful story). All-in-all, I was a mess. It got worse and it was the same sad, anxious story that followed me all the way to my first real job… where I found myself more stressed out than ever and going from a few insomniac-quality hours of sleep to absolutely zero. Don’t worry though guys, for some reason eventually I didn’t even feel like I needed sleep and would just pace around my apartment or wander around outside in the wee hours of the night. Things took a steep downturn and I won’t share painful details but I eventually promised a dear person in my life that I would go get help.

I am genuinely really proud of myself for getting help and following through to get myself to a place where I am functioning without the fear, sadness, and anxiety I was accustomed to. Still, I can’t help but feel like if I got treatment sooner things could have been so different. I think I would have a lot less painful memories. I think people would’ve been nicer to me. I think my family would like me more and be more proud of me. I think I would have the “lifelong” friends everyone else seems to have. I would’ve gotten more dates, gone to more parties, and experienced the things which make people coin high school and college the “best years of your life”. I know there’s no point dwelling on it now but this is something that comes up and starts me on a downward spiral every so often. Maybe getting it down in writing will help. Does anyone else relate to this? Will I ever be able to make peace with how my that period of my life went, and stop thinking about what could have been if I was mentally well?

May or may not have had an incident at my boyfriend’s parents house (they didn’t notice… I think… hopefully…) and I’m not sure if I’m ever going to be able to make eye contact with anyone ever again. Someone make me feel better pls
