Proud of myself. Meanwhile my roommate is searching for rock oil in the sink

Against_the_current profile image

I unclogged the sink drain all alone! I know it's not much but i like to feel that way. My roommate said why are you so happy, you haven't done anything so special. But i'm happy. I was feeling inadequate, like they do everything and i'm a burden. And now my other roommate just messaged "If i was about to brag about everything i do for the accomodation". And kept scolding me. I'm mentally sick, it's hard for me. My roommate said really harsh things. She said "If i texted everything i do, you would be spammed" and the other one tagged her and wrote "i washed the dishes😂". Everyone washes their own dishes, Maria!

So my other roommate (the clean freak) washed the bag of the vacuum cleaner. I texted in the group chat "what is this" and the other one said "petrol". Like this is a sink not the Persian harbour. And while she was taking selfies with her friend (she didn't even ask me, she asked the other roommate and brought her here). I cleaned the sink but it was still broken. Today i unclogged the drain and i only got bullying. I didn't text it to brag. I just was happy and didn't want them to worry about the sink or buy this thing. I don't know where to be - with drinking mom and sick sis or bullying roommates. This was supposed to be a happy post but they bullied me

"But i'm happy. I was feeling inadequate, like they do everything and i'm a burden."

You should say this. We all have our challenges. What I am hearing is that you want to be a contributor not a burden and this was a small but good accomplishment in that direction. just say it even if they have been nasty. maybe it will get them thinking.

I said it. They feed that feeling of inadequateness and being a burden. They must understand this

Hope they move. I like this place

I’m on your side; even little things can mean a lot to me. If I could not be comfortable in my home, I would move. And I have, multiple times. On the sly I checked out my options, til I hit paydirt. Good, now I had choices. Just my idea. Good Luck

Really, People don't understand. And i thank you more

I got so paniced, i called granma but she has new heart meds and i paniced more. I called mom but she was at work and i paniced more that she might do a mistake because of me

Ignore them since I feel a little joy over even the most minor accomplishments.Every journey starts with the first step so you not only finished a task you now know hot to do that job in the future!

Against_the_current in reply to

Exactly. I know it's something small but i did it and i will know how to do it. And i feel joy really rarely and they turned it to panic

Absolutely. Actually i was hours taking a walk to avoid her and it turned out she's not even gotten home. (The bullying was in chat). Then i stayed in my room and i feel like i missed out an opportunity to chill in the living room while she's not there. Thanks for your words, hugs

in reply toAgainst_the_current

I think you need a good friend, an advocate, close by, to protect you right now! You are ill & that’s ok, me too! Myself, I would seek inpatient treatment, get myself in a ‘safe haven’, get the help I need to think clearly! Slow & Smooth remember! Myself, I love inpatient when I need it! No shame for me; it’s what I need right then. People want to help; just sometimes I need a little push. Hope I Helped
