What do you consider to be the ideal solution?

If I had a simple clean studio I would be fine. I am not asking for much, just clean and stable. But even a mess of a studio costs $800 a month which I can’t afford. even if I had a place to park that was stable I wouldn’t mind either. Just something close to a town with food and place to shower, etc.

  > even a mess of a studio costs $800 a month which I can’t afford There are definitely cities in the Midwest where you can get studios for <$500/mo still.

    Please name one that one that will not trigger my suicidal ideation. or just name one in general.

      I found this in Pittsburgh. It is sub $500, has flexible dates, and includes all utilities except for electric. https://www.zillow.com/apartments/pittsburgh-pa/hampshire-hall/5Xt45L/ https://www.zillow.com/apartments/pittsburgh-pa/hampshire-ha...

        Do you notice anything missing from that apartment?

        What's missing?
        Podgajski 3y ago
        Any sort of a kitchen. There’s no stove or oven. Just a microwave. This is one thing I’ve learned to look for in photos of online apartments. We’re looking at places at this price level.

        That's not unusual for small studios. Oftentimes people get an electric countertop stove and/or toaster oven. I know that's not ideal, but how does that compromise compare to living in a van? Do you prefer to live without any facilities whatsoever to hold out for a proper stove and oven?

      > will not trigger Well I don't know what triggers you, so that's hard to say. If it's cold weather, then... nowhere in the Midwest > or just name one in general. Witchita, cedar rapids (Iowa), etc If you go to a much smaller town, there aren't even many studios, but you can find 1/2br for the same.

        At some great risk I’m going to explain this to you. One of my sensitivities is to the new 5G towers they’ve been putting up everywhere. Yeah I have EHS. Some places like Wichita with the huge amount of mid band. 5G is just not tolerable for me. I’ve always had a problem with EMF. I used to work at Cisco and that’s when I had my first mental breakdown in a long time. It was a 1999 right when they started installing Wi-Fi in the buildings. I didn’t know that till many years later. I have been looking at some places in Nebraska, but this is what I’m faced with.

        EMF sensitivity is not a real thing, and there is nothing special about 5G radiation. What you actually need is psychological or psychiatric treatment.
        Podgajski 3y ago
        It is real, for me. I’m not going to debate you on this topic because I’ve tested it every way I can to rule out placebo. I am not woo woo crank and I approached this with skepticism and rigor. But if you want to investigate, more, look at voltage gated calcium ion channels like the l type calcium channels and TRPV1 channels. In my opinion, people who have EHS will have changes in these genes that make them more susceptible to the electromagnetic waves causing calcium influx into the nerve cells. it just happens to be a coincidence that these same genetics will cause mood disorders. That is because mood disorders are environmental diseases. And I have been in psychological and psychiatric treatment for over 30 years. I think I have not hashed this through with my therapist and doctors is just an assumption on your part. I will say you need to see a therapist. If you think there’s any certainty that EHS does not exist, because that’s as bold as me, saying that it does exist.

  Why don't you find a appropriate commune here https://www.ic.org/ https://www.ic.org/ and live on it with a small number of other people.

    Yes, I’ve tried that. Many of them are overly religious or want you to be a vegan or vegetarian or need to be this or that or something special. Or they don’t want people with a mental illness and have no money. Thanks though.
