That first year? complete mess, just complete mess,
recently i complained for some time on kps about not having: a working shower, working toilet, not having hot water, a working dryer and the ceiling lights falling down, i even shared a picture of my ceiling light dangling by a thread...and i thought that was bad?
my first year on akp my living situation was ten times worse and my mental health was just completely down, some of it got misdiagnosed too i strongly believe (though im not one to go to the doctors again and find out)
and i was also 2 or 3 years younger and younger people already don't have the most matured ways of communicating, and due to my poverty and state of being, i was in almost complete isolation. i had no social skils whatsoever.
akp and kps have really saved me honestly, sounds sad to say an internet form improved my life so much but i learned how to interact with people again after going such a long time without that, and being able to communicate slowly learning the tools you need to interact well, helped me make the opportunities to get out of those circumstances i actually have friends now and people who i can depend on. it's very nice
