I'm the opposite I want to get on the bottom. Buried in the ground preferably.
I'm sorry to hear that, I have been feeling very bad for a good few weeks and wishing the same most of the time, I find it helpful to note if I have a good moment to remember if it's possible! I hope you may find a way to find some chink of light or a way to feel even a little bit better.

I'm so sorry. Will they not do anything about the mold? That's pretty dangerous.
They ignored me every time I went into the office. Telling me it's a "non issue." When I put in maintenance requests, they close them out without even showing up or doing anything.

Well I got the air tested in here a few days ago, and it shows there is active mold. And VOC levels are 2700 when they should be below 1500.
I'm just trying to find the guts to break my lease..and be okay with them sueing me I guess.. they sued someone else in this complex for $17,000 for missing 2 months of rent. ( the apartmnet reviews Is how I found that out). and there's plenty of similar reviews.. so I expect it.. just a totally unfair situation. Home is supposed to be a refuge not a place you dread going to after work...
Seems that's a hard line to take for them to threaten to sue if you break your lease when they have a moldy apartment on your side. hmm
Is this something you can fix on your own and then try to get paid back from them later?
No.. not really. Everything would need to be ripped out and mitigated..like behind the walls.. I will try my best to figure out how im gong to to leave.. with least damage to my credit..

Having one of those moments where I feel calm, optimistic, like I can overcome any problem and have the energy to plough ahead and be as functional as I need to be to get on top of everything. Not sure where it came from, still didn't sleep all that well but maybe did get a few deep hours. Praying it continues like this today πŸ™
Didn't last all that long. People always have to ruin it, or something else does. My stomach issues have settled down but now I just feel totally exhausted. Mind you a trip to the office on a bus where it was 29C outside and probably more like 40C inside the bus didn't help. Am stressed but not pointlessly anxious.

I don't know how large your city is. If large enough there should be tenant lawyers and then also info online for Mold and Renter's Rights in your state. We have a lawyer who answers people's questions in the morning on one of the news channels. And he offers his contact info. I used it a few years ago and he actually responded. There are lawyers that sometimes just in a one time phone call for free can give you some direction. I've done that as well. May take a few phone calls to find a lawyer that answers his own phone and is willing to take 4 or 5 minutes with you. That's all I can offer. My apologies for giving info that you may not have wanted....I wish you the best of luck.

I'm sure there's a little devil that follows me around. Now it's affecting other people. I finished work early and was pleased to be setting off home. I got to the front door of the office building and someone was hanging around there. After I pressed the button to open the door (it's a self service office automated building only has reception inside office hours) and the door remained firmly locked, it became clear why the other person was there. I pressed the button, the emergency door release, shoved the door. Nothing. So me and this guy went round to the closed reception to find the emergency number as we were locked in (along with the entire building). He called and arranged for the emergency staff to come out and do something - which could be hours.

We went back round to the door and by now there's a crowd of people and their pet dogs (office dogs are a thing!) all trying the door and nothing working. One guy had just ordered takeout and had to call the driver to tell him to leave it outside. We were in for a long night of it. Then this bloke arrived with headphones on, started down the stairs, everyone said the door is locked shut but he couldn't hear because of the headphones. Clearly he was superman because he got to the door, pushed it, and it opened without protest and after that the door was just unlocked instead of locked.

Like my laptop, my network cables, like my brain, one minute not working and next minute working fine. Craziness! After that getting home was relatively straightforward πŸ˜‚ The good news is I saw the funny side and didn't freak out or go into a panic. I must be getting better.

And I was very relieved the other guy got his takeaway πŸ˜‚

Goodness that sounds like a stressful end of work.
Office dogs??! Tell me more!
