explode

I feel like I'm going to explode.  Is it possible to feel so empty, yet so full of anger at the same time?  I am struggling to keep up with my classes (and understand one of them, astronomy), and I feel like going to class is futile.  What good is going to class when I feel like I'm having an anxiety attack just being around people?  The anger part ( Read more... )

Hey! I saw this and thought I'd throw in my unqualified paltry two cents.

I know it can be really difficult to confront a roommate about a problem you are having with them--however, in this case, it is truly a matter of health. If you are having trouble sleeping, then it is going to bleed [and, from the sound of it, has already started to bleed] into your daily capability to function. Therefore, it is encroaching on your lifestyle, your success in school...etc. That is shit you don't have to stand for.

Maybe you can talk to your roommate and initiate some sort of "computer curfew"--like, after midnight [or a time you two choose], she has to either stop playing the video games/being on her computer, or she has to take it elsewhere. Her laptop is portable--your bed [and sanity!] are not.

I know it's hard to put your foot down about things like this--God, it's hard for me--but I have started to really insist on things that I know will be helpful to my mental health. Because I deserve it. And so do you.

The computer curfew is a great idea. See, the only thing is is that I haven't needed to have said anything the past week or so because I've also been going to sleep late. But the next time it happens, and it really keeps me awake, I need to try that advice before it eats me up. You're right, it is so hard to put a foot down when it comes to something like this. Thanks for your encouragement:)

Yeah, Nikki....

I know you don't want a confrontation, especially when your roommate could take things the wrong way (b/c I know she can), but this really is something you need to do. Jenny's curfew idea sounded great -- and doesn't she at least have some headphones for the music problem?

I know, I need stand up to this situation but I falter:-/ ... yeah, she has headphones, but she professes to not like using them anymore than she has to because they're lopsided...weird, huh? Either way, new headphones cost a minute bit when you get em at DG...it should definetly be a necessity. It's a reassurance to know you what I'm talking about with her.
