So I have this roommate will call her Sally. She's around 60 years old and I'm really frustrated because she is completely gone erratic and has stopped taking her meds for at least four months. She moved in in January and I have talked to her. Case Manager and I have talked to the housing people. I think she's heading towards hospitalization real soon Because she's just acting insane. The most absurd things she threw her meds in the trash the last month and a half, and now she's joking about it. It's not a joke. I don't think it's funny because now my mental health is affected and getting worse and worse I really hope That she gets back to an even kill because I'm convinced she has early signs of dementia. I have no many people that have had it and she's showing signs most definitely I'm really worried about her but I'm not her caretaker. I'm just a roommate. I have a heart and I really like her as a person, but she's really not all there in the head so I'm gonna cope and ride this out if she becomes violent or passes out or something I will take the proper precautions I thought talking to her. Case Manager was a good idea. I caught him in the parking lot and told him a little bit about what was going on. I did not think it was appropriate to talk to her about it in front of her so I went to the parking lot. I think they meant changed her meds, but she still hiding and not taking some of her meds I was on the kitchen floor, I'm going to try to distance myself some more. It's very hard. I hope this gets resolved soon because it's really taking a toll on me. Sorry for my rant, but just I needed to vent a little bit get stuff off my chest.

Hey All...I hope that you have a lovely, peaceful beginning of your weekI have a bunch of chores that need doing but may put them off til tomorrow and just hang out with my landlord/roomie todayWhat about you?...Anything special going on?Have a great day and take good care of you!!..Xo
Im sorry you're having a hard time with her. Venting here is a safe place.
This would be hard
Would it be possible for you to move?
Do you have a case manager that you can discuss this with?
The difficulty is that you can't make her do anything that she doesn't want to do
Sending you a big hug of peace...xo
