Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I have a little situation here that I am not sure how to deal with.
My mental health group offers a lot, including subsidized housing. I was in assisted living and wanted to move into independent living. I had to live in one of their group homes for six months to be educated and evaluated for independent living. I graduated into a step down independent living apartment with a roommate. I was there for a year living with a roommate and some support staff. I graduated from this and was moved into independent subsidized housing. I can live here as long as I want to. The rent is cheap and it is like living on my own. I have a two bedroom townhouse that I share with another lady who has gone through the same thing I have had to to get here.
In the lease it states that there is zero tolerance for drugs on the property.
I hate my roommate, she is always angry, loud and a pest. She wakes me up in the middle of the night to chat. She has walked in on me in the bathroom while I was showering (so much for the lock on the door) and while I was taking a bath. She uses my dishes without asking and does not wash them.
We have only been roommates for three weeks, the first 2 1/2 of which she was in the hospital.She returned to the house on Sunday.
She offered me pot. (not allowed), and I said no. I asked her to smoke it out side. Which she did. She asked me not to tell. I said I wouldn't. On Monday she smoked pot in her room, when I confronted her she said she would never smoke it in the house again if I promised not to tell. I said I wouldn't.
Like I said I hate her. So I told, knowing it would get her kicked out of the unit. So now she is being evicted and has to be out by December 24.
Part of me feels like I did the wrong thing by narking and part of me thinks I did the right thing, because I could get kicked out by not telling, making myself a party to the crime.
Sorry for being so long.
What do you guys think?

Put it where it belongs on her! You shouldn't worry about it- she obviously didn't care enough about your feelings anyway.
Oh yes, you can hate or dislike someone instantly and her gut seemed right... sounds like this roomie didn't care about her feelings or discomfort with the pot smoking.
