Wow I decided to just throw this out there expecting this to disappear. Everybody is so kind and wonderful and I'm so glad I put my story out. I have not felt this good in a while. Thank you everybody for the kind and encouraging words, and for giving me small pieces of advice. And thank you all for making me feel like I'm doing okay right now. I feel like I got a load off my chest and this is giving me some closure with what happened. Thank you!! I have so much love right now I'm gonna explode in happy tears!
This is my first post
I'm just clearing out my phone to make space for more memes
All of these have been stolen
I think I messed up the format
But I don't mind that too much
Sometimes I like to read these when someone has a good story
Maybe mine will be good too
In February of 2019 I moved in with my girlfriend and her best friend
Said best friend became my best friend we got along so well
I started imagining my life with her in it forever, we were so close
We lived in an awful apartment complex, so we had some awful issues
The kitchen sink flooded for almost three hours before they even got the plumber out
They didn't even fix it
They just put a fan under the soaked carpet for three days
Of course it led to mold but no one cared
Then the bathroom upstairs flooded and they wouldn't do anything about it
So we decided to move across the hall
Now we had no hot water
I was also being charged for my service dog
I had a meeting with both roommates and we agreed to not pay rent until hot water was fixed
Took them 31 day, with lots of written notice
Then they refused money and started eviction
Best friend finally told her parents what was going on
She decided everything was my fault
I had a case with lots of evidence set up to fight this
She packed up and turned in her keys
She also told everybody that I stole $1200 from her and getting evicted was 100% my fault
Now our mutual friends are treating me a little colder
Girlfriend and I had broken up a couple months earlier, so we weren't gonna get a place together
Now I'm with my wonderful parents looking for someplace that will take me
I had panicked and left the apartment instead of fighting
I regret it everyday
And autumn is normally the time of year that I'm happiest
Now my depression is back and I've been suicidal on top of my schizophrenic hallucinations are worse than ever
I feel like I've been accused of raping someone and it feels awful
The only thing keeping me alive is my service dog
Every time I have a dark thought I think about how miserable he would be without me
It's not healthy but it's something
I just wanna get back to the point where I would be okay without him
For now at least he's my reason to live
I'm glad he's in my life
Thanks for reading if you've been reading
I hope your day is a pleasant one
And I hope someone does something really nice and unexpected for you
Life is too hard
Thanks again for reading
Dog tax of my service dog

Hang in there OP. I know how hard it is when we are in these low moments. But, you have to just keep swimming.
GrinningDisaster
Awww your dog is such a cute Lil floofer!
Curiouskris
It is true your service dog would miss you so much it could make him ill. You wouldn’t want that. This too shall pass. ?

So, i have pet tarantulas and pet toads. 99.99% sure it wouldn't end well for the toads.

No hot water? I believe that makes the place legally unlivable and could take it up with the city next time.

I'm glad you shared your story OP, life really is hard.

This is maybe not helpful 4u but when u KNOW ppl are just talking shit that ain't true, it ain't true. Their story needs scapegoat. Pathetic

Looks like you got a shitty person out of your life. You'll find better people with time. Hang in there.

I wish you and Ricky a life full of beautiful autumn!

Cutting out toxins from your life comes with withdrawals until your body realizes it can live better without the toxins. Relationships too.
origamitentacle
This. So true.
BlandNotBoring
Your ex did a shitty thing, but don't compare it to men falsely accused of rape, please. That ruins lives.

PSA to all with shitty landlords, escrow. Never just stop paying rent. If you start an escrow account they can't evict you + no money.

The bear one is not true. "Arctic" is named after the constellation of Ursa Major, which is towards the north.

Oh so it's just a funny fake fact, lol

@OP you're important. To Ricky, and to us!

They don't want them because one day they have to let them go

Whenever I am facing troubles I ask myself if it will matter in five years. Just look after yourself, your dog and chalk it up to experience
Conzo9000
Some of this probably was your fault. You sound like you’re the only victim here. But still don’t kill yourself, that’s weak.

I know I'm not the victim, and it's partially my fault, i just feel hurt and it doesnt help me mentally. But thank you for your honesty .
lemonbeagle
Sometimes “honesty” from strangers is just a load of shit. Keep hanging in there. It will get better. Your dog needs you...

Anyone or anything that you have to live for is worth it! An eviction isn't the end of renting, you'll find a place.

Thank you friend

Check out Lexington law. I don't know if it will help but it helped me get bad stuff off my credit. Don't work for them just had a good exp
Szmygielski
Okay I'll check them out. I appreciate the tip ?

I'm also a landlord now and I hate hearing stories like this. I take pride in having happy Tennant's. I'm sorry this happened but there are

Good ppl out there too. Don't let assholes get you down. Sounds like friends dumped their prob on you. Just keep it moving buddy

Tell your best friends your story. They know you & will understand. Then contact the gov’t dept in charge of apts. & report the landlord 1/

things to yourself since bad s/b countered by good. During bad periods my cats kept me alive with their unconditional love. Now I’m 61.

don’t have to destroy or define you. You’re young & doing better than you think. Contact me for crazy older person feedback. 6/6

You say it's not healthy that thinking of your dog gets you through a dark moment or day. I assure you many people use their pets, their 1/

tomorrow might be a really good day but you'll never know if you end it today. Remember that it's a permanent solution to a temporary 3/

Thank you. I do feel a little better knowing that it might be okay to rely on my pup.
