What's really frustrating is that my apartment gave us the notice last week that we need to announce if we're renewing by May 7. So we've got less than a week to either get an offer accepted or stick it out for another year
Do you not have the option of doing a month-to-month at all? It’s usually a ridiculous hike in the rent, but might be better than renewing for a full year if you can afford it. You also might want to check out what your lease says about breaking the lease. If it’s a bigger owner, they sometimes have relatively light options for breaking a lease. I actually had a property manager at one of my old apartments just tell me that my best bet was to renew for a year and then break the lease when I was able to move. I was waiting on a transfer from my job when my lease term was up, and I didn’t know how long it would take to go through. Month-to-month was exorbitantly high, and even renewing for a shorter lease like three or six months would have ended up costing us a lot more than breaking our lease ultimately did.
Even if it’s a smaller owner, you might try talking to the landlord or property manager. We rented a house that we hated living in, so we wanted to leave early. There wasn’t a provision in our lease for early termination, but I talked to the owner. I didn’t tell him we hated living in his house, just said we were buying a house and had found something that we wanted to move forward on. He basically said that we would have to pay as agreed, but that he’d let us out of whatever was left if he found another tenant. We only ended up paying like one month of overlapping rent. Of course, we were taking a chance there that we’d get stuck paying both for a lot longer, and I know paying a rent and a mortgage at the same time is not an option for everyone, but my point is that maybe if you talk to your landlord before you renew, you can work something out that would let you stay in the apartment but keep looking for a house if the landlord turns out to be willing to let you break the lease.
yeah our landlord is this giant conglomerate with God awful terms on everything. They fined us for leaving trash by our front door on a non-pickup night, meanwhile the compactor was broken and trash was pouring out of the dumpster. I know one of the girls in the office and I'm gonna try to talk to her to see what options we really have

Ugh, our apartment lease has a pretty reasonable early termination provision I think, but I feel you on the trash situation. We can definitely get fined for leaving the trash by our doors and the dumpster compactor thing frequently looks like this:
Good luck talking to the girl in the office! Hopefully you’ll have at least one or two halfway decent options.

Someone I went to high school with took their own life over the weekend. I didn't know him well, but a lot of my friends did. He was the little brother of a girl I knew, and he always seemed very sweet and friendly. Always smiling.
Guns freaking suck. I hate how quickly they can turn feelings and frustrations into very permanent and devastating outcomes.

That's awful, I'm sorry for your loss.
My heart hurts for my friends. Some saw him only a few weeks ago and had no idea anything was wrong

My absolute favorite colleague who I've known for over a decade passed away yesterday. He was the type of person who made everyone laugh/smile by just being himself and was a beloved professor to countless students, but he also struggled with alcoholism and depression. He tragically had lost the people closest to him in the last year, and nobody had been able to get a hold of him so we'd all been concerned before getting this awful news today.
I just want to say, if anyone ever needs someone to talk to, I am here. Always. It doesn't matter if we've never even talked before, I am here. Please reach out.

I have social anxiety too that varies from mild to debilitating depending on the situation. One thing that helped with managing it is to stop trying to make it go away. Once I accepted that my mind was going to lie to me about some things and make me do things I'd rather not (and not do things I'd like to do) and I had no real say in the matter, that gave me the space I needed to start actually deciding how to respond to my anxiety instead of being yoked around the neck by it. I know that at times anxiety is going to make me think/say/do some dumb shit. It's gonna happen. I can't prevent it completely, but what I can do is manage my environment in order to lessen the likelihood of getting anxious, and if I do, I can try to change my response to it in order to lessen its impact.
Like right now you're mad at Pepe for something Pepe's anxiety made him do. Why you victim-blaming, bruh? You are not your mind. The mind is just an asshole sometimes and you're the only one it's got to pick on. But it's not you. The mind is the mind. I've found that continually reminding myself of that - over the course of like...a decade now - has slowly gotten me to the point where I can put the mind in its place sometimes and reengage with whatever's happening in front me.
But for all this, there are definitely still times where I just. fucking. can't. for whatever reason and will bail on plans if I need to, but if my choices are doing that or having a full-blown panic attack, I choose the lesser of two evils and just try to be grateful I had the opportunity to choose instead of being on anxious autopilot.
Also PA's medical MJ program has some great options that I find very effective for social anxiety while keeping me completely functional. I could nerd out on you about cannabinoids and learned fear responses but I'll just say it's been more effective for me than therapy or anti-depressants were. I actively seek out social situations now more than I have in a long time. So I mean hmu if you want to see a show sometime with someone who will likely feel equally as awkward as you do for its entire duration.

"why you victim blaming bruh" got a big laugh out of me. i needed that.
but fr thank you for the response jaz you got a lot of great points / analogies there. it just puts me in such odd situations w my friends as well, where they (especially now that stuff is reopening) want to go to bars or parties or whatever, and id rather just stay home bc ik if i go out i'll just be in my head and want to go home early, but then i feel like im just blowing them off and making them feel like i dont wanna be w them, when thats certainly not the case, and end up judging myself when im alone again for not having the good time i should have. just a vicious cycle, and an issue im gonna deal w at the beach this weekend for MMD, where i'll end up wanting to stay in and do a bonfire on the beach or something, and my cousins will want to go out to bars, and ik i'll be judged to hell by my mom if i chose not to. she recognizes it and means well, but her form of encouragement just doesn't work. idk im ranting. but fr thank u jaz ima come back to this.

It’s so fun when you log in on a Monday morning and realize you apparently forgot to save your changes in a word document last week so the 10 new pages you wrote are now gone and have to be redone.

Do a Google search on where Word stores their Autosave versions if you haven't already. It's might be hidden somewhere in your computer and you might not have the access to it depending on your company's security setup, but I've recovered entire documents this way so def don't write off the possibility yet.

That’s a good tip, but unfortunately, it looks like I do not have access to it. 🥲

So I’m super stressed as I have to take a drug test soon fer my new job opportunity. I mean it’s been some 6-8 weeks since Corncat and I have hung out, so I should be good. But I took an at home test today that did not give conclusive results, so yeah, I’m stressed as fuck! Especially as I’ve already given my restaurant/bar job notice so now my bar shifts are gone.

Between now and then, guzzle tons of water and flush out anything remaining in your fat cells. You should be fine. But try to do at least a gallon a day or more if you can.
Also remember that if you’re unsure don’t catch the first few drops/squirt in the bottle or the last few as they are most likely to contain a higher concentration of suspended particles.

My ex is coming to get the dog in a couple hours and I am not doing well at all
Oh my God I am so sorry. I wish I could give you a hug.
edit-did you get visitation rights?
She didn't seem too keen on it when I brought it up but that was six weeks ago when we were both still pretty raw. I'll bring it up again today when we say our goodbyes. Though honestly I don't know if that would just be causing myself unnecessary pain.

I don't think it would be. See if she would be agreeable to a half day out. You get to take the dog out for a walk and a treat. Even offer to take him/her/them to the vet on occasion to help out. It's better than the alternative of never seeing them again.

She ended up bringing up that she hopes in the future we’ll be friends and I can visit him. So that’s good. It’s been a rough weekend but Mowgli and I did all the things so it ended with good memories. Now onto the next million things I need to do…
