He posted about how he wanted to die. He didn't really state why.

Ex, you should probably be looking at seeking some professinal help. I'm not sure what anyone of us here can do to help you anymore, and it seems like you're not sure either since you removed your original post. Seriously, make a call, go see a professional. I doubt you'll regret it.

Glistam - I have been and I am taking medicine.

Freaking laptop was pissing me off, had traffic driving back here, My Comcast doesn't freaking work, and the freaking apartment building won't fix crap in my apt. It has been over 4 weeks.

Also, the job is not what I expected but really really easy.

ashlad - I am trying. thx.

The screen door is busted, the garbage disposal doesn't work, the dryer isn't vented right and the Thermosat on the AC is broken. It is reading like 87 in here currently.

It's good to know that it was the venting of frustrations from a bad day.

Tell them you won't pay rent until they fix things. 87 F isn't exactly pleasant sleeping conditions. I would be livid.

Is it reading 87F, or is it 87F? If it's really that hot, you can just switch the A/C to On vice AUTO. If that doesn't work, the thermostat's not the problem.

It is just reading 87F.
It isn't 87 in here.

No big deal then. If you have a basic understanding of electricity, then you probably can replace the thermostat. They aren't that hard.

Hookup wires for:
Hot
Neutral
Fan
Cooling
Heat

Screw into wall. Done.

If you've got a heat pump or something different like that then your points will be different, they might be different than what I'm accustomed to just because you're further north, but you've already got an example wired up... the replacement stat should be similar-ish. You can always put the old one back if you get confused.

But yeah, not your responsibility.

I agree. I didn't realize that was what you meant when you'd said "which you can't do." I thought you were saying it was too hard, I just wanted to chime in & let him know that it's not so bad.
