Depression and chronic illness makes it hard to have energy but tonight I just have some laundry planned, at least one load, and try to tackle the dishes in the meantime. After the chores are done I’m gonna take an everything shower, then put on some Harry Potter or Star Wars 😊
What do you guys do if you’ve had to live without or minimal a/c? I’m in Ontario so while it typically doesn’t get to 100+° it does get very humid here.
9th floor (top floor), corner unit. I don’t think I’ll have enough to buy a new a/c that I need so I’m interested in tips anyone has done to try to keep my apartment cool. I do have black out curtains for my living and kitchen windows. Anyone have any fans they recommend or maybe even if a dehumidifier would be helpful?
TIA.
Edited to add: you are all SO helpful, I can’t thank you enough for all the tips and tricks!! 🫶🏻 This was posted in another sub as well and…. The only “solutions” I got were links to expensive a/c’s lol

I’m not new to depression, it’s been over 2 decades of my life. But worse than it’s been. Now in my 30s, I just try to sleep life away. During the working week, I just come home and shower and love on my cat, play with him a bit then go to bed, could be 7, could be earlier, the sun won’t even be set. On days off, I wake up just to lay on the couch with my cat and take little naps throughout the day until “bedtime” again. I’ll have a cracker or something if I need to, but I’m barely hungry.
Laundry piling up, floors are getting gross, dishes just hanging out. I can’t be bothered. I do change his litter twice a day and change his water and food because he’s the most important thing to me, he matters more than I do.
If you can relate is there anything you do to help yourself feel better?
Not interested in “just leave” comments. Perhaps one day that will be a viable option but not at the moment.
