Re: I don't know what to do

[(Anonymous)]

Your roommate sounds very draining. I'm guessing she's suffering from depression and avoiding treatment is part of that. Whatever she does, you can't be her sole emotional resource anymore, so please don't feel bad about not spending all your time propping her up. Because that will not work. No one person can fix another person's depression, because depression doesn't work like that.

If I were you, I'd keep your sympathy short and sweet: "I'm sorry, that sucks." or "You're a lot harder on yourself than you need to be." Do NOT get dragged into long crying sessions where you're coaxing her to stop feeling bad, because again, that won't work. Encourage her to seek help after each episode. Offer to go with her if you feel up to that. If she's a minor or dependent on her parents, you may have to contact them. This sucks, I know. But unless they're absolutely bastards or the root of your roommate's problem, they're going to be in a better position to get her help.

If you think you'd benefit from talking to someone, do it. Don't worry about whether or not your problem is serious enough. Your tuition money's paying for that school stress center, it's yours to use as you see fit.
