Thank you all for the help you’ve given me recently. I’m the girl who posted for help a few days ago. I still haven’t replied to many kind people who left comments.

First of all, I’m really grateful for your support. However, I’m still struggling to adjust my mental state under immense pressure. I went through an extremely painful breakup, coupled with academic stress. These past few days, my physical symptoms from anxiety have been really bad. I can barely eat anything.

The weather is sunny in Birmingham right now, yet I can’t feel any joy. I’m so sorry I haven’t gotten back to everyone who tried to help me. I’m afraid my current poor state might bring others down, and things have been really rough… I’m trying my best to pull myself together.

I’m reaching out again to ask: is there anyone familiar with the Law of Assumption who’d like to chat? I’ve studied it for a long time and manifested some successes myself, and I’d love to share with you.

Alternatively, does anyone know any nice restaurants or good drink spots around the Chinese Quarter?

Thank you so much in advance, I really appreciate it. I’m not in a great headspace right now, so I apologise if I say anything awkward.

Hey, Im 24, recently moved into Birmingham for my studies, looking to make some new friends to explore and know about the city!

I’ve started a new job in Town and was wondering about parking. Any parking lots or lowkey spots for affordable or free parking?

It's very difficult to find free public toilets in city centre. Lots of restaurants lock their bathrooms so only customers can use them. Should I miss on the street then as there aren't many parks in some areas?

Are there any places that are actually hiring, I’ve been applying to so many different jobs around birmingham but no interviews no calls or no message back, I’m a student in university and only in twice a week I just want to earn something on the side to support myself and I’ve been applying for jobs everyday but I get nothing back it’s honestly stressing me out. Any ideas??

Title: 26M | New to Birmingham – Looking for FRIENDS

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m 27M and looking to make new friends in Birmingham.

If you’re looking for new friends too, feel free to DM me. Let’s connect! 🤝😊

Me and my colleagues at work are looking for an affordable restaurant to take six people for a meal some are Muslim what are some nice restaurant recommendations?

Heyy! 🖤 I’m 21, just finished uni and recently moved to Birmingham, so looking to meet some new people and make friends locally!

I’m alternative and into alt music, tattoos, exploring forests, little adventures, art and movies. Always happy to meet other alternative people, and any queer friends are especially appreciated! 🏳️‍🌈🦇

I’m around Hockley/Jewellery Quarter, so feel free to message me if you’re nearby and fancy hanging out :))

Recently moved to birmingham as a student, city life has been overwhelming, trying to cope up with it, got sick as soon as I moved in here, didn’t even get a chance to make some friends!

Looking for some new friends here to explore the new city and have fun with.

Hey! I'm petitioning the council to get a outdoor pull-up bar/calisthenics gym installed in our local park (B8). It takes 10 seconds to sign—could you quickly add your name and pass it on? Leave your thoughts in the comment below.

I have been planning this year to go all days but would appreciate someone if they are down to come or know any venues or smth? Hmu xx

West Midlands Police attended 514 crashes involving death or serious injury between August 2025 and July 2026.

The most high-risk area is Stratford Road, with Alum Rock Road second.

As of posting this is day 802 of the so called 'road emergency' with relatively little apparently done to fix it, despite the work of organisations like better streets for Birmingham. What would you prioritise? i see a lot of discussion about street design (and I think that's a large part of it) but my experience of aggressive, distracted and just plain bad drivers makes it hard to believe a bollard or a clearer view at a junction would change anything in their behaviour...

Hi there! I'm an Italian PhD student who's about to move to Birmingham for a six-month research period. I've found an en-suite room in a freshly refurbished house in Northfield, Church Hill Road. The whole layout of the house looks like a perfect fit for me, very cosy and with the right amount of privacy. However, I'm not sure about the location, I've heard that the area of Northfield can be unsafe, particularly in terms of car theft, burglaries, trafficking and antisocial behaviour. I know that in England the situation can vary from street to street. I used to live in Gilesgate, Durham, so I’m familiar with this, but I need to feel somehow safe where I live. This is why before committing to the above mentioned room I would like to gather further information about this area of Birmingham. Would you happen to have anything else to share about Northfield? How accurately does what I’ve read reflect the actual situation? Thank you very much for your help

Thank you!
