TRIGGER WARNING: MEDICAL STUFF, DEPRESSION, MENTIONS OF EATING DISORDER
Hi y'all, it's been a while.
I graduated in 2021, and going to college was my dream. I was going to San Francisco State University, I was getting married to my best friend, and my other best friend was healthy and safe.
I lost both of them since they decided to overstep boundaries with alcohol when my parents were on a vacation, leaving me alone in the house. I then realized how toxic and unhealthy they were, kind of wished I saw it sooner.
I get to college and my dorm was awesome! I had a kitchen and a private bathroom attached to our room. I had one other dorm mate, and she was fine until she wasn't. She was very controlling with cooking, socializing, etc. I wasn't allowed to do anything except go to classes by myself, I made only a few friends, and It quickly became worse in my room.
She started being really passive-aggressive and rude and blamed a lot of it on previous trauma and ADHD, which I understand, but it shouldn't be an excuse for actions that harm other people. I tried talking to her, compromising on things, but she just wouldn't listen or acknowledge. So, I tried to file for a room change, and since it was a roommate problem, the RAs were the only ones to help.
They did nothing, my roommate was the victim and when I tried again to change rooms, the school refused.
I got sick. I couldn't eat, drink, nothing was staying down. I've had a history with anorexia, so this was making my anxiety rise to higher levels than I have ever seen. I talked with doctors, psychiatrists, the works. Everyone in the Student Health Center was amazing, and if I didn't have them I probably would have been hooked up to an IV. In fact, I should have when my parents picked me up to stay home for a week.
