Default She committed herself!!

I woke upand my roommate acting weird and not talking. I asked if she over slept and missed her IOP apt. she said she had a bad night and the shuttle was coming for her.

She ran out of the house without saying good by and didn't text or callto let me know she had checked in or was ok. Nothing!!!

She will be in all weekend- she didn't want to go to Easter dinner with family, sooooo...... now she doesn't have to.

Wow, this has been such a roller-coaster ride. I hope she gets some help where ever she is at the moment.

I hope YOU are OK there during all these ups and downs with your friend. ugh

I don't mean to sound awful but I think under the circumstances you've been dealing with the past few months, there's going to have to come a time when you lay down the line with your friend as difficult as that may be. It might save her and it might save you. There's going to have to come a time when she either gets adequate medical help or it's time to separate. You just can't keep doing this and she can't keep living like this. You're not her parent. She has parents. You're her friend and flatmate and have been terribly patient. Such a difficult situation.

I completely agree with Lara...it's time to make other living arrangements for both of your sakes.

I whole heart-idly agree! if a grown woman has reached the point that she would rather not speak a single word to you, and climb onto a bus that leads to being committed for easter weekend without the courtesy of saying "I dont feel good, leave me alone" or "im going away, please feed the cat" then its time to find higher ground.

its really hard to take care or parent someone who doesnt want to be parented. As they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink. What they dont tell you about that picture is how much energy and soul sucking it takes for the rider of that horse to get it to the stream. Please, take this time to step back and realize what YOU need to go forward. Realize what YOU need to make YOUR life better, and take this chance to go get it. Have a home without the stress, guilt, fear, or manipulations. Have a place to come home to where YOU can work on YOU. where YOU can heal YOUR wounds.

Im sorry it had to end this way, but perhaps a new beginning for both of you is just what the doctor ordered.

So it turns out that she had attempted suicide before many years ago.

I feel like I've been lied to and decieved for years. Had I had known this I don't think Iwould have moved in with her.

As far as we know she will be coming home onMonday - my birthday. I am dreading it!!

Please take this in the spirit it is intended MBrook....it isn't about YOU unless you make it about you. She is ill and needs help...depression is an illness and not something to be angry about. You tried to help her which is better for her than getting mad at her...but instead of waiting for the other shoe to drop, you need to take care of yourself....move out.
