Houses in farmington nm

For context I am a veteran and I have been working with the VA (veterans affairs healthcare) consistently for my issues for the last 17 years this includes the last year I was in the army.
Due to military service I have been diagnosed with CPTSD general anxiety major depressive disorder and borderline personality disorder. (I also have some physical medical issues so according to the VA I am 80%servoce connected disabled)
I have been in treatment ( therapy) and medical medication management from the start. (I have self-admitted for mental health three times)
I've been with my STBXH for all this time.
Yesterday after I talked with my lawyer he looked at me and asked me how long I have been in an emotionally disruptive toxic relationship because I have been so gas lit into believing that these problems were my failings and my problems.
So that led to me looking into my VA e- chart after my STBXH took the car to visit his A this morning. . . I needed to see if the signs where there and I had been so in love with love that dismissed it all. Especially since STBXH said that all the years weren't bad he did love me just not anymore.
Just reading the last years worth of notes with my therapist and medication provider I realize that I really have been internalizing all these issues and my goals for therapy like boundaries, being clear about my needs once and desires, and trying to find a balance of emotional labor. They have all been ignored and in order to cope I have had my medications adjusted and it has been a mental burden for me to do the physical and emotional labor of this soon-to-be dead marriage.
My STBXH has apparently happily moved on to his next broken woman, and because she was a trusted family friend I know this is going to f*** with her head as much as it is has mine. But AP is a grown ass adult and not my circus not my monkeys learning about the affair will only affect my mental health negatively.
My STBXH had me so used to love bombing giving me scraps of attention later and having the internalize my diagnoses as why he had to do what he did ( no intimacy on my terms, raising his voice, emotional distance).
Again looking through my medical history I saw a pattern that I became truly dissociative during these moments and would later tell my medical care team about how I would have to mute myself or become invisible to him when I would ask for attention, validation, communication, or help and my requests were ignored or pushed back on me.
I had to know and use his love languages for him but when I would ask him to follow my love languages for me he would tell me that they were bullshit*.
Sense filing my lawyer is also helped me see how I have had the burden to do so much keeping so many balls in the air and how I need to let them all fall because my only obligation is now to myself and our two kids 16 and 14. And that I need to wake up, turn my volume up and no longer mute myself as well as become visible to myself again.
Can my STBXH use my mental health and my use of CBD/THC against me? I have always been honest with my medical care team about my recent usage of CBD THC gummies and more recently vape because I wanted to stop taking Valium for mood and anxiety attacks.
I find it so ironic that I have moments of clarity when I know he is now with his AP because he is not with me. Having him in the home with me puts my whole body on alert.
Last night he had us all meet up for a family meal and I asked if this was going to become a thing, because once the plans were made he made them with the kids my anxiety spiked so bad I started to shake and I couldn't even eat a order of broccoli and drink a glass of water when I was with him and the kids. During this meal he said we were not allowed to discuss the divorce and just focus on the kids. I am more than okay with focusing on the kids, I have gotten books and that I have been reading about co-parenting through divorce and separation as well as how to conscientiously uncouple.
When we went home that night he brought up me selling him my share of the home through the divorce and I said he we will talk with my lawyer but I want it to be sold and to have my half of the equity. I have even found people who would be interested, but so has he and that would be those in his polycule or for him to refinance with his AP. He keeps saying his divorce lawyer wants him to sell the house within the next 2 months I do not have the funds to move myself the children and our animals out of the house in that time frame.
I do not want this to drag on I would like the divorce to be done fairly, but I feel if it's rushed then I will yield to his demands. Emotionally in a rollercoaster.
Thanks for reading. Yes I will be following the advice of my lawyer and I have been in contact with my mental health care team at the VA to make sure I am taking care of myself.

​

Phase 0) Digital Economics 101

The Digital Economics 101 module will open 1 week prior to the cohort start date.This is an onboarding module that will get you up to speed so we can get straight into the material.This will be required to finish before the start date.

• Gain a deep understanding of all of the pieces in the digital economy.
• Learn about the future of media and code — the front-end and backend of the internet — so you can focus your efforts.
• Understand digital leverage, distribution, no-code tools, and digital assets so you can take part in the mental & financial wealth transfer.

Phase 1) Creating A Meaningful Niche

Every day I hear people going on and on about trying to find their niche.I also hear people talking about how they don’t know how to combine what they love talking about with what will sell.You already have the answer. You just don’t have the clarity.

• Develop a long-term strategy to create your own niche — meaning you don’t have to worry about your “competition” playing status games.
• Discover your life’s work, curiosities, and obsessions. I see too many people that are uncertain about this for years.
• Cultivate and turn your vision, goals, and values into a brand that attracts an audience you love interacting with (and that will buy from you, and only you).

Phase 2) Content Strategy

There is one thing that separates those who make it in the digital economy and those who don’t.It’s the quality, articulation, and perceived originality of their content.The content you post has to make sense to the people you attract.Everyone has a different voice and tone that they resonate with. That they are congruent with and trust.It has to change their thought patterns or behavior — that’s what makes you memorable.That’s what separates you from the sea of people posting surface-level copy-cat style posts.Example and putting my money where my mouth is:

• Become an expert-level speaker or writer on the topics you care about.
• Never run out of content ideas for your posts or promotions (without using content templates — that’s how you stay a commodity).
• Create posts, blogs, tweets, images, and videos that resonate with other’s on a deep level. People will actually ask you how you got so good at what you do.
• Separate yourself from the ocean of B-tier creators that struggle to sell their products, services, andhave their ideas stick in the head of their audience.
• Implement our Epistemic Research Method — which is just a fancy way of saying scientific research method… but it’s for researching your mind to craft brilliant content and product ideas.

Phase 3) Crafting Your Offer

Most people are sitting on a goldmine of skills, experience, and knowledge (that they can use to help people 1-2 steps behind them).That is what people pay for.Considering 95% of the market are beginners… if you are good at something, you can help them get to your level (no matter how “basic” you think the information is).Do you not watch basic content all day anyway? People don’t want new information, they want to be reminded of what works.

• Use our Minimum Viable Offer strategy to start monetizing immediately (and have something to improve over time, rather than procrastinating until it’s perfect).
• Have a strategy for reducing the time you spend working over time (as you build leverage and improve your offer).
• Know how to create your own customers from the audience you are building, instead of “finding” the right customer for your offer.
• Take the guesswork out of building coaching, consulting, or digital product offers.

Phase 4) Marketing Strategy

You aren’t making money because you aren’t promoting yourself or your offer.That is literally the only way to make money. Have something desirable and consistently put it in front of peoples’ faces.In Phase 4, I will show you how to systemize, automate, and be consistent with simple promotions.You will be able to make money without having the chance of forgetting to do it (or letting fear of failure get in the way).

• Learn to sell on social media, in your writing, and across different platforms.
• Have consistent sales coming in while focusing on your meaningful message (no need to sound salesy all the time).
• Learn advanced automation strategies that you can implement at your own pace, especially once you validate your offer.

Bonus) The Creator Command Center

The Creator Command Center is a Notion template that houses all of the systems.This is how you will manage your brand, content, offer creation, marketing strategy, and systemized promotions for consistent sales.

Bonus) Live Product Build & Launch

In the first Digital Economics Cohort, I built out my course The 2 Hour Writer.I have videos showing how I build it with the strategies in phase 3 and 4.There is a bonus module that shows how I had an $85,000 launch that resulted in my first $100K month.I did this to prove the strategies inside Digital Economics work if you stick to the plan.And, this past Black Friday, I blew my that monthly high out of the water in 4 days.That’s the power of these strategies if you stay consistent with your life’s work.

Neighbor’s adult son recently moved in and doesn’t like looking out their second story window that is on the side of their house at the brand new RV we have parked in our own driveway which is at least 200 ft from their house.
Furthermore there aren’t mountains or a gorgeous view behind the RV. The view its blocking is part of our garage and like 20 ft of scraggly woods that is between us and a major highway.
They have made multiple false reports to the township and county that we are living it etc. he’s been taking pictures of us in our yard from his driveway.
This has been stressful as we are constantly having to talk to the township and we are on high alert when we are outside because we don’t know what he will try to do next.
We like the actual neighbor. Have always had a great relationship with him and because of this relationship we have tolerated some things his son has done in the past. Like a few years back his son bought about 15 chickens (which included 2 roosters) that freely roamed our yard bc he didn’t have a coop or pen for them. Could we have complained to the township? yes. Did we? No. We just adapted some things we did like shoo the chickens out of our yard before we let our dogs out.
I talked to the neighbor and he said he doesn’t have a problem and would talk to his son about his actions. I did offer to move it if the neighbor truly had a problem with it but that it would just take me some time to make arrangements (time I don’t currently have)
But now I am fearful the neighbor will ask us to move it simply because it will make his home life easier. And that will start a precedent of his son dictating what we do with our property.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2023/05/31/is-housing-market-going-to-crash/70260153007/
There is little debate that the U.S. housing market is cooling down after home values rose at a frenzied pace during the pandemic. For the first time in 131 months, home prices fell year-over-year in February, ending the longest price growth streak.
The median existing-home sales price in April slipped 1.7% from one year ago to $388,800.
Meanwhile, elevated mortgage rates − which have doubled since early last year − have constrained homebuyers’ purchasing power. Instability in the banking sector, headlines about layoffs, and growing recession risks are also causing prospective homebuyers to hold back. So, does this mean a housing crash could be on the horizon? Housing experts don’t believe that to be the case.
“Despite uncertainty in the economy and the housing market right now, there is little to suggest that the housing market is poised for a crash,” says Bright MLS Chief Economist Lisa Sturtevant. “For a plunge in home prices—like we saw in 2008, for example—we would need demand to pull back dramatically and/or supply to increase significantly.”
While housing prices have dropped slightly year-over-year since February, a lack of inventory and a strong jobs market have contributed to stubbornly high home prices despite much higher mortgage rates.
"The housing market cannot compare to last year’s intense spring home buying market,” says Jessica Lautz, NAR deputy chief economist and vice president of research. “However, there is strong demand for housing. In the last month one-third of homes sold above the listed price and the typical home received three offers."
Properties typically remained on the market for 22 days in April, down from 29 days in March but up from 17 days in April 2022. Seventy-three percent of homes sold in April were on the market for less than a month, according to NAR.
Inventory in the first quarter averaged 1,630,000 listings at any given time, down 40% from the first quarter of 2019, a year before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the National Association of Realtors.
There has been limited supply as 85% of mortgage holders are locked in to sub-5% mortgage interest rates, which discourages current homeowners from selling their home and buying another at today’s elevated interest rates.
Total housing inventory registered at the end of April was 1.04 million units, up 7% from March and 1% from one year ago (1.03 million). Unsold inventory sits at a 2.9 month supply at the current sales pace, up from 2.6 months in March and 2.2 months in April 2022, according to the National Association of Realtors.
If there were significant job losses, we could see an increase in the number of people unable to make their mortgage payments and who would therefore have to list their homes for sale, says Sturtevant. “However, right now, even if we do head into a recession later this year, the labor market is still extremely tight and major job losses still seem unlikely,” Sturtevant says.
Builder confidence in the market for newly built single-family homes in May rose five points to 50, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) released in May. This marks the fifth straight month that builder confidence has increased and is the first time that sentiment levels have reached the midpoint mark of 50 since July 2022. Scores over 50 indicate that builders view market conditions as “good” rather than “fair” or “poor.” The inventory of new houses for sale at the end of April stood at 433,000, which represents a supply of 7.6 months at the current sales rate.
The median sales price of new single-family homes in April declined to $420,800 from a median price of $455,800 in March. The median home price in April of 2022 was $458,200.
"New home prices have adjusted lower due to higher interest rates, despite a post-covid 38% increase for construction costs," says National Association of Home Builders Chief Economist Robert Dietz. "New home prices were down 8% year-over-year in April. That will likely be the end of that price adjustment."

When I'm playing Three Houses; I like using offensive Linhardt, so I usually make him a Warlock.
Three Hopes is my first Warriors game and I am not sure what class to put him in. With Dark Bishop being a Master class in this game, is it worth making him a Dark Bishop or are other classes better for him? If so, which?

Launching a new world
I'm looking for iron and wood
I craft a complete set of armor and tools
I build an ugly little square house, more useful than pretty
I leather my iron and food

I say to myself: next step diamond?
I search a bit, I find nothing, I'm fed up, I quit the game, when I come back in six months.

On a loop for years

I (F26) have been OLD for about 2 years and have had little success until more recently. I've spent a long time working on myself while being single and re-evaluating my approach to dating. For the first 18 months or so, I was looking for attention/validation in the wrong places, and eventually came to the conclusion that I was using sex in a bid to find a relationship in the way the "nice guy" uses friendship to try obtain sex. Ever since, I've been a lot more direct about what I'm looking for (long-term), and I've made sure to follow the path of talk for a little while, a few nice dates such as coffee, mini golf, food etc before progressing to anything physical, to try ensure I'm not attracting the wrong kind of set-up. Which brings me on to more recently.
The last two guys I've dated (39M, 40M, respectively) both said they were also looking for a long-term relationship. Both have obviously had lives before in the form of live-in girlfriends, marriages, kids, etc, and are well established in their careers, and the homes they've built themselves. Everything always started off really well, with conversation flowing easily, an immediate connection, and a certainty that a second date was on the table.
Both very quickly brought up exclusivity, were eager to arrange the 2nd/3rd/4th date, talking about the future, promises of "things are going well with the view to a relationship", but then they'd start pulling back. They were still happy to arrange to meet for more dates and both made themselves available at the times we'd usually meet, but it largely became my responsibility to arrange things.
At around the 2 month mark with each guy, I brought up the conversation of, "When can we maybe look to move this on to the next stage?". Both times, I got wishy washy answers that were fundamentally "uncertain", but neither necessarily wanted to end things, they just couldn't say they were sure that's where things were going. Normally, I'd say 2 months could be a little early to ask that question, but in both instances, we had talked all day every day, and seen each other multiple times a week involving dates and staying over.
M39 was talking about a relationship from date 4, meeting his friends/family, planning things for months away, talks of eventually moving in and getting a pet, and even looking at jobs for me closer to where he lived. M40 asked we delete dating apps on date 1, asked to see me multiple times over the first week/two, told me how he missed me, wished I was there, started telling me to let myself in to his house when I'd go to see him because he was comfortable with me, let me leave things like a phone charger there, and it was always "assumed" we were seeing each other on our two set days, indefinitely.
When I received answers of uncertainty both times I asked that question, it completely threw me. I only asked the question when I did because it seemed a given that that's where things were going. Now, perhaps it's me and I'm not very good at reading the room. Equally, I may have asked the question a little too soon and thrown them both. What I can't understand is, why were things plain sailing until I asked the question, and how could they not have been giving it any thought in the run up, given that's what we had agreed the end goal was?
I appreciate dating doesn't always work out, and there is certainly no obligation to commit to a relationship after a certain amount of time. If it's genuinely just me they were unsure about, then I get that. Dating is all about getting to know someone and seeing if/how they fit into your life. I just don't understand why in both instances, they were happy to go on with a comfortable set-up of me playing the surrogate gf, until I pressed for an answer as to where things were progressing.
Please can you guys let me know if you've been in a similar situation or offer some insight?
TL;DR: I F26 recently dated guys M39 and M40 (separately), and both times when I asked the question about progressing things to a relationship around the 2 month mark, I received answers of uncertainty

TW: Rape
He was 35 I was 14. It all started 2006, when my mom died I was left alone in our home most of the day. My older sister in college, while dad is busy putting food on the table. My family coped differently when my mom died, my sister just focused on her studies and part time job while my dad just kept quiet buried himself to work and immediately had a new girlfriend which is almost as the same age as my sister so they drifter apart.
I was just in 2nd year high school when he started to "groom" me. Bringing me to school and picking me up almost everyday, making sure I have a decent lunch on weekdays when I am all alone, keeping me company when no one is available to keep an eye on me every night.
I have no idea what was he doing. I thought he was just my "Kuya" who felt sorry for me, a neglected girl.
He was my cousin's husband. He was a house husband. His wife has a good job that can provide for his family. We live in a compound along with other family members. All along I thought he was just giving me food because they have extra since he's incharge of household stuff. I didn't think something was already inappropriate.
One night he kissed me, I was shocked but if felt good. I was ecstatic. I thought finally I was loved. (I can't help but to cry while typing this)
The kiss turned into something more inappropriate, hugging, groping, and fingering. Until one night on our usual rendezvous he asked me if we can have sex. And we did! This happened weekly for almost 4 years!
Until my sister read his text on my phone, the thread is about a pregnancy scare. My sister confronted him and we stopped our relationship. My sister also decided not to say this to anyone, not even to his wife. Only a few cousin knew what happened.
He died last 2018, I felt relieved and free. Now I'm 30 still not capable of being in a real relationship. Still traumatised and still can't give unconditional love.
Based on our law that's still statutory rape right?
TLDR: I was groomed and raped by my cousin's husband when I was 16, he was 35 in the time of the incident.

During high school, I had a lot of shit happen. A. Lot. I was constantly overwhelmed, over performing, emotional. I experienced the death of a friend/first crush by suicide and it crushed me. I had zero support system, and in fact my parents made it worse. In hindsight, I can only describe my parents behavior as manipulative and selfish. I was very distraught and grieving over the death of my very good friend, and my mother decided it was best to send me to a mental health facility when I began to act out at home. (She said “I heard it was with a shotgun, that must have been a mess to clean” the day after it happened) My mother began to become extremely overbearing and developed (or maybe always had) control issues. Tracked my location 24/7 on my phone, literally watching it hour by hour. Going through my belongings/journal/phone/everything I own to find something incriminating. Wouldn’t let me hang out with friends under any circumstances. Even though I had straight A’s, took extra classes, stayed 6 hours every day after school for my extra curricular. (Lead roles in school performances, best ranked cellist in my state/first chair, varsity track and forensics/debate, 3rd best ACT scores in my class) Long ass story short, one day my mom deceived me by having the school counselor take me out to get McDonald’s, then to the hospital where my mom had lied to the police saying I had made suicide threats and told them I was abusing drugs. This fucking ruined me. The moment I realized who she really was was when I saw the look on her face when I was being dragged away in handcuffs. The police looked at me like I was dangerous and insane. I spent only a week there because I acted normal the entire time. But I still was given diagnosis of BPD Type 1 and prescriptions as well, and forced to take them or else I would be allowed to leave. Anyways, since then, I’ve realized I probably don’t have BPD and was just coerced into it to please my mother who payed all kinds of money for her weird form of punishment. (The first thing she said when I answered the phone at the mental facility was “are you ready to apologize yet?”) I haven’t taken the meds since I moved out and I haven’t had anything close to an episode. I hate that I was forced to believe I had this diagnosis just because of circumstance. It makes me feel so bad for so many people who are given false diagnosis’s just to check a box. I have a lot of resentment toward my mom, but I try so hard to remember she raised and fed me my whole life and payed for everything I needed. I don’t know what happened, but as I got older, the more control my mother needed over me. It was too much. I wish I could help my mom realize her mistakes but she’s too far gone. She can’t see any other perspective but her own and will lie and deceive to make sure her image is upheld, even at the cost of her child. For some closure, I ended up dropping out of high school when my mom kicked me out on Christmas. I only had .5 credit to graduate because of all the extra classes I had taken. I went to live with my dad but he didn’t let me leave the house for 5 months until I turned 18. right when I turned 18 I had to find an apartment, work full time, and work my ass off. Anyway, I got my GED, enrolled myself and college and currently working towards a major in Epistemology and a major in music. I guess I needed to get more off my chest than I thought but I am just so proud of myself that I pay my own bills, I pay my own apartment and car, work 12 hrs overnight, get A’s in all my college classes, and I am not even fuckin 21 yet. All by myself. Fuck u mom and dad and stepmom and stepdad saying I wouldn’t make it a week on my own after kicking me out. I did that shit. And I’m not bipolar. Just a lame ass way to put the blame on your kids reactions instead of your own actions.
If you made it here, I’m so sorry to have wasted your time. I have absolutely 0 people to talk to in life, and I’ve just wanted to get this off my chest.

I'm renting an apartment with 2 other people and the rate went up about 100 dollars for no discernable reason. The only additional amenities they've provided for us is a decrease in the size of the already pitiful dog park. The A/C unit barely works half the time (it doesn't cool the house down at all, we can leave it running 24/7 to auto shut off when it reaches 70 degrees and the inside of the house will be consistently hotter than the outside, for example 82 degrees outside and 87 degrees inside), the floorboards underneath the carpeting have been broken since we moved in (we made them aware of this and they said to either wait to move in a month (we couldn't because we had leases running out) or just deal with it) and to top it off our in unit washer and dryer broke so they replaced it with a smaller one. Any recourse at all would be great.

Age 28
Sex female
Height 5’2
Weight 103 Lbs
Race Caucasian
Duration of complaint since yesterday evening
Location right hip, lower back, left side of middle back
Any existing relevant medical issues no
Current medications none
A lot of pain seeming to radiate from my left hip, lower back, and up to the middle of the left side of my back, and even seemingly in my abdomen.
I really don’t understand how this happened, I reached into my car and had my knee on the driver seat, just to grab my car keys, I am normally in good shape, and pretty flexible, I was in no way straining myself or even stretching, and suddenly it hurt so badly that I thought I wasn’t going to be able to get out of the car or back into my house and it really was a struggle.
It takes my breath away to walk, or to even just shift positions in my bed. Sitting down to urinate hurts so badly that I stop urinating and have to really concentrate in order to finish.
Two people have told me that ER won’t be able to do anything for me.

Heyo, this happened years ago, but it just made me really curious…
This happened a few years back, in my childhood home. My mom is an extremely hygienic person. The house is always spotless, cleaned, mopped & vacuumed daily and the windows are cleaned three or four times a week. Inside and out.
So, the day before, everything had basically been cleaned. We went to bed, and next morning we all head downstairs for breakfast. My mom goes into the kitchen, and what we saw was terrifying to be honest. The whole window, full of flies. Not moving, ALL dead. Some appeared like they were still climbing up, as if a video was paused on them?
I heard my mom complain about her ex’s family doing voodoo on her, as they were involved with that in their culture or something. My mom is Christian, so she immediately started ‘cleansing’ the house in her way.
A few days later, MAGGOTS. HUNDREDS OF THEM, most dead, some alive (barely).
We cleaned them out, got poison for pestcontrol and cleansed the house again.
It has not happened again, but my mom often would say that my brother used to be cursed as well by them when he was younger. Now I don’t hear her anymore about it and my brothers’ behaviour has improved a lot (he is 5 now).
Anyone knows what this could’ve been?

He was 35 I was 14. It all started 2006, when my mom died I was left alone in our home most of the day. My older sister in college, while dad is busy putting food on the table. My family coped differently when my mom died, my sister just focused on her studies and part time job while my dad just kept quiet buried himself to work and immediately had a new girlfriend which is almost as the same age as my sister so they drifter apart.

I believe it was a white book with orangey characters. All I can remember is a man went into an old Gothic-y house. He goes to the fireplace and I think animals start coming down the stairs one by one. I for sure remember a tiger. The art style was really weird and puffy like.
I know it's a long shot but I'd be so incredibly thankful if anyone knows!!

I took everyone’s advice and agreed to the buy-out. I thought I might have time to get used to the idea, but right after I signed the contract, they said they could come the next day which seemed a little odd. I was still feeling OK about my decision until two minutes after they arrived, one of the employees yells, “We’re going to make a killing on all this stuff!”
Day 2 and one of the employees yanks open the locked door of an outbuilding when I was on my way with the key. So disrespectful and rude. It really irritated me and now my mood has really gone downhill especially when I see the greedy dollar signs in the business owner’s eyes as he makes sure to haul all the best stuff away first. The guy has always been an arrogant jerk who thinks he’s so much better than me - I just let him think that because honestly IDGAF what these people think and don’t want them knowing anything about my life - and I never wanted to use his services but there isn’t a lot of competition in the area. A lot of people sing his praises while an equal number think he’s just a bottom feeder who lowballs everybody. I will give him credit though for taking on the jobs a lot of people probably wouldn’t.
I know I got screwed but I still would have gotten screwed if I had tried selling the stuff myself. Plus, I would have had to deal with random yucks knowing where I live and coming to my house. Dealing with those people would’ve been way worse than this stuck-forever-in-high school person that I’ll never see again after this is over. I’m sure once everything is cleared away, I’ll eventually forget all about it and move on but right now I’m having a hard time. My friend who’s been through this herself told me to take a lot of pictures, which I did, and I realized I’m not going to miss any of it. I think what bothers me the most is knowing someone is profiting at my expense. It seems like I’m constantly paying people high prices for things - repairs, renovations, goods, etc. - but if I tried to charge high prices for anything, nothing would sell or no none would hire me.
TLDR; I know a lot of you are overjoyed once you are free of the hoard so how can I start feeling joy instead of anger?

I'm renting an apartment with 2 other people and the rate went up about 100 dollars for no discernable reason. The only additional amenities they've provided for us is a decrease in the size of the already pitiful dog park. The A/C unit barely works half the time (it doesn't cool the house down at all, we can leave it running 24/7 to auto shut off when it reaches 70 degrees and the inside of the house will be consistently hotter than the outside, for example 82 degrees outside and 87 degrees inside), the floorboards underneath the carpeting have been broken since we moved in (we made them aware of this and they said to either wait to move in a month (we couldn't because we had leases running out) or just deal with it) and to top it off our in unit washer and dryer broke so they replaced it with a smaller one. Any recourse at all would be great.

Lesser 'unknown account' for obvious reasons.
In a few weeks I hit 45 and i suppose I'm looking back on "life" and just feeling "meh" about everything
To be honest, there have been events and instances in my life which make me wonder why I'm still here.
I've a body full of scars both actual physical scars, and emotional ones too.
For the first time in 5 years I went out last week, chatted to complete strangers and had more than a few drinks. Some complemented my beard and hair (given the pandemic I've not been to a barbers so it's now passed my shoulders and its thick and wavy.) And I'll admit that boosted my confidence...
And one guy actually kissed me.....and I just froze. I apologised profusely afterwards and bought him drink and just left.
The problem is 11 years ago my previous partner, and 3 of his friends, beat me up, and r*ped me, after I said i was leaving because of the things he had done, including a previous physical assault.
The justice system was slow and it took 5 years for it to get to court, after he tried passing a shit load of his debt on me (125k in the local currency) but they were found guilty and the 4 of them are now spending between 8 and 18 years behind bars 300 miles away from where I now live.
The last 10 years of my life I've worked. It's all I've done. I've done two Masters had several promotions to the point where I've gone from the bottom of the pile to second in command. And whilst my job helps people - alot of people every year and not just in the city where I live but across the region and neighbouring countries- the rest of my life including my house is what could be called 'threadbare and minimal'.
I want to bring the walls down. But I know that brings the risk of being hurt again.....I cant let that happen.
But I really dont wanna spend whatever time I have left alone, and i cant just freeze up when someone kisses me or touches me...
It's been 11 years and I can barely deal with being touched, never mind even the thought of sex....which to tell the truth ive never really enjoyed whether it's been with a man or a woman.....

I prefer indoor activities rather than outdoor activities. Not a huge fan of sports. my hobbies include drawing(both digital and traditional) , singing , watching anime(I have currently been watching Shadow house and boku no hoshi), cartoons , animatics , comic dub and take quizzes to know more about myself.
I am a shy extrovert. My style is still a bit new so I change some things here and there
I am someone who has trouble talking to others and trusting them with your problems
taking into account my dark palette I tend to draw outrageous hair colors but dark environment
which could mean a try to be seen as ok
but actually faking it.
I seem observant and commuted
but too impulsive to actually make my plan work out
I may seem emo or rude or obnoxious at first but you'll eventually see that I mean no harm and is just bad at expressing myself.
Sometimes I trap myself in a paradox because of a certain event.
I have time management issues but is slowly fixing it.
I personally don't judge people based on if they have any disability or mental illness . Infact I kept forgetting the person does because I rarely keep track of it , I try my best to avoid discriminate people due to their issues as it's a rude thing to do . I treat them as if they are just normal people living their lives.
I know this might still be a flawed post so if it still is can you please give criticism so I can make it better? Thanks
