Capital wasteland is nothing but a dirty ass river and some creeks. How are they washing their clothes out there?? Or did they wear the same rank wasteland settler outfit for months at a time?
myself am not homeless. Various times in my life I have been on the brink. I grew up on govt assistance and in a poor abusive family, bounced around living with family in my teens, and then had a bad gambling addiction in my early 20s that about took me down in life. Since like 14-15 it’s been living with others, sleeping in a sunroom, on the couch, being treated like shit for even being there. Mental health issues, developmental issues, having bad teeth…don’t wish it on anyone really.
Now I have my own place, and a little bit of savings, but I’m fucked up. I might need a kidney surgery costing a few grand, so it made me think well now you’ll be behind. I only make a little over 40k, but have a cheap apartment under 1k. My brain keeps telling me “ after this lease, you’ll be homeless as fuck” I’ve been on the fringes since I became an adult so no true friends, support system. How do I snap out of this and be positive?
I ask this Reddit because it is so hard to find people who can relate to this feeling and this emptiness/sadness. Thank you for your input and god bless
We all know about Bloomington, brown county, and the dunes, but Southeastern Indiana, by the Ohio border is a gem as well. I’ve drove through there twice and love the rolling hills. Going down SR 44 from Indy was great. Going past rushville, things really open up. I was going to Ohio to check out Hueston Woods State Park and Oxford, which I recommend for my folks who love their towns like Nashville,IN, or Greencastle, a cute smaller town, with the perk of having the renown Miami University too.
Another gorgeous spot over in that area is the whitewater river scenic byway. Some of the best scenery in the state!!
What kinds of hiking or walking groups are there around the city? I walk everyday and was curious about it. I walk the cultural trail all the time, it’s literally the highlight reel of our city. There’s so many spots close to downtown that there’s a ton of variety.
I grew up poor on govt assistance, and have abusive family, and now that I’m a little older and grown I’ve realized a lot of the people around me were just genuinely terrible.
Family members, some friends, etc. people you took advice from, lived with, everything. And they’re absolutely scummy, cruel and selfish. Many were uneducated. I feel like I neglected my own health due to beliefs that were passed down to me about not needing medical attention unless dire.
I’ve only had a handful of open minded people enter my life. It’s just so hard to explain because there’s people with amazing mentors, grandparents, supportive figures, and in my story there are only a select few.
I’m a young adult guy, have my own stuff and place, am accepting and friendly, but am really struggling to socialize in any way since I couldn’t maintain the relationships I had through school, mostly due to my chaotic life. Now I’m in a little bubble and I feel like I was forced into here by people who should’ve supported me and been a helping hand. It messed with my confidence and the way I see people as a whole. I’m taking steps to be better now but it’s just sad to know some people are barely exposed to respect, care, fairness.
It seems like an underdeveloped area despite having the university and being close to downtown. It’s totally fine as is but I could see it having some pop to it, like an Irvington. Anyone else agree?
Went to the er over a month ago for a presumed stone and they said they didn’t want to give me a catscan, for whatever reason
I go to my urologist and she promptly said that they should’ve given me a catscan then and there, so my next step will be the catscan anyway. Great job guys…
Was passing through on 69 and stopped at the Fort for 2 hours or so. Has some of my favorite architecture in the state. The courthouse and the Lincoln bank tower are great center pieces for downtown. It seems like a good medium sized city, it reminds me of Dayton OH which I also enjoy. I was seeing way more smaller businesses than in Indy. I’ll have to stop at the conservatory next time I’m in town for sure, I was tired from driving so I just did a quick walkthrough of the city.
My favorite fact I learned is that the man Fort Wayne is named after never once returned to the city 😂
Not sure if this is the right sub..young dude in my mid 20s that had a rough go at it for a few years. Got out of a bad family situation, growing up with addiction and abuse across the board, it took a toll on me for a long time. Now I have a much stronger sense of self, and am more content with life, and have my hobbies. I have my own place. I’m pretty well spoken, and am a pretty good looking guy, but am still introverted.
So after years of sticking to myself I’m starting from scratch. I’m way more of a let’s go on a hike, go to a museum, etc laidback kinda person. It seems like to make friends you’ve actually gotta be active and drop some money. Anyway to make it easier? I always kinda feel like an outlier with my interests and am really adverse to just spending money.
Noticed a stench in my car and went to investigate. Noticed the bottom of both of my back seats were wet, and the drivers side mat had mold under it. It’s been raining alot but I haven’t left my windows down to my knowledge. The mold was under the mat specifically. What should I do?
Where’s the love for the southside? I’m from there but I always feel like it’s a little forgotten, like it’s the little brother of Indy. I just know it’s way more likely to meet someone from the east or west side than down south. I feel like it’s a good blend of people and areas too.
They’re not next to each other but they’re both in state. I was thinking of stopping by at stoner’s, but decided to get me a cold one with-I mean at gays
I’m going to be in town from Indy for a few hours give me a couple of good suggestions. I love nature and walking around town if there’s something like the canal there, some cool cheap/free spots?
So for a little bit of context, I went to the ER earlier this month with a swollen kidney, and what was described to me after an ultrasound as more than likely a kidney stone, especially since I’ve had them before.
I have insurance but it’s bad. I have to pay 10k out of pocket before they start covering costs from what I can tell. How will I afford what’s going to be several doctor visits, tests, and at worst, surgery? I used to have Medicaid, but now have my own insurance, so I never had to deal with the medical system on this level. I live alone so this is the aspect that worries me most. I’d just appreciate your guys input.
I’m from Indy and love coming here for day trips. It’s usually a breeze getting there too, except for the construction on I-74 currently. We don’t have anything like Over the Rhine back home. Last year, I parked off of Liberty and went down a huge staircase into the neighborhood and loved the architecture and feel of the area. A lot of historical homes, very intriguing. walked the purple people bridge, then went to Eden Park and loved Krohn Conservatory. The Cincinnati Art Museum was an awesome bonus! I feel like I got to see some of the most scenic places in the city. It was a great time.
I feel like you guys have a nice city, I know it can be different living there then visiting though. Downtown was inviting, and it was pretty lively overall.
I’ve gotta come back sometime soon
I got flomax for a stone( not sure of size) and swollen kidney back on July 3rd and started peeing normally a couple days after, but have still been taking flomax too. I just wanted to play it safe especially with a swollen kidney but it’s been a couple of weeks now so should I just stop taking it? I go to the urologist pretty soon
Think about it, sure James might be a good dad, but we don’t know that for sure, and the vault seems like it could be a depressing place to live and grow up. I see alot of potential for isolation especially with the lone wanderer only having his/her father and Amata. The constant bullying and assumed judgement from the overseer. This is usually what I use to justify a morally bad fo3 playthrough myself.
Anyone on here live out there? I lived there for 2 years as a little kid from 06 to 08. Such an odd place full of nature and a huge range of animals I haven’t seen since. Armadillos, boars, huge snakes. Scrub Park was a place we went to all the time. A very rural and different world from what I was used to. I’m from and live in the Midwest and I’ve only met 1-2 people that have ever known even the area of Florida I’m talking about, much less Lake Placid.
Is it generally the same 20 years later? Just curious to hear y’all’s own experiences
For context, I’ve had kidney stones before and a kidney blockage I had surgery for a few years back and never went back to the urologist. Went to the er 2 1/2 weeks ago peeing pink/blood but no flank pain, they told me I have a swollen right kidney and more than likely a stone, but they said they couldn’t tell for sure that it’s a stone or the size of it. I don’t go to the urologist until early August.
I’ve just never had them not cause pain. The whole time Ive felt ok, maybe a pinch or stiffness from my right kidney. I started peeing clear a few days after going to the ER, and have felt okay. My pee got murky and bloody for one day again recently but cleared up again.
I’ve gotten a bit depressed about it because I really don’t want surgery again or a stent. I just hope I can, or already did pass a stone at home. Any ideas or advice for me guys?
