I dunno. Feels like I need to shift the locus of attention. My roommate is really pushing my buttons. I have been super upset and stressed. But I talked to my friend and he helped change my perception of the situation. I needed that. Anger doesn’t really get you anywhere. They say it’s part of our evolution and we needed it to survive. I dunno if I need it or not. But it was nice to feel atleast something again other then anxiety or stress.

I’m sorry your roommate is stressing you out. And you are right, anger doesn’t help. I will respectfully suggest you not try to suppress your anger. Suppression is very bad. Instead try to mitigate and overcome your anger. Try to find more positive ways of expressing or venting it and don’t fear or fight it down. But it sounds like you have someone who is willing to listen and help you. That is a very good thing to have.

I find that stress makes my symptoms worse. Esp, anxiety; but anger I imagine would do it, too. Anger needs a safe outlet, like a drum you can bang on or a ball you can hit with a racquet. I played drum kit when I was a teen. Therapeutic.

Well it’s not even so much im angry but feel a lack of justice. I mean I don’t want to play the victom card but she is abusing me mentally and my social worker is concerned for me living here. And anytime there is conflict I walk away. And my roommates gets even more mad and says I need to face her while she talks to me. I’m allowed to walk away.

So does your roommate know you are SZ and still acts this way?
anger will take a great toll on anyone. Glad you are feeling better.

She knows I’m sick but she has no respect for anyone. She fights with the neighbours and insults them same with the land lord and social workers. She is sick too but not like me.

Thanks all for your kind words. I am feeling more comfortable now. Although I hear her up snickering with her friend she swayed from group

Exactly. It isn’t a you problem and you have enough of your own to deal with. Is it possible to distance yourself from her more?
I’m feeling okay now thanks for letting me vent. She is being okay right now. And im feeling better. I saw the pdoc today. I haven’t seen one for 4 years. He adjusted my meds and I think it’s starting to kick in. I’m switching to abilify depot next injection. Right now he put me on orals until. I never know what makes me feel better because I try multiple things at once.

I was thinking about you yesterday and today. I’m sorry your roommate is stressing you out. It’s hard living with people. Also hard to live alone. I hope you find balance with them and maybe sharing your concerns or feelings with them will help. Xx
