Boundaries, man. Draw them firm and draw them often and you'll be a happier person.

"That's too personal of a question to ask, Roommate."
"Please stop asking about ______, it makes me uncomfortable."
"Remember how I asked you not to talk about that? Knock it off, please."

Also feel free to put all her random shit in a garbage bag and stow it away in a closet somewhere until she asks for it. And make house rules about guests and overnight guests.

DA

I was roommates with a person similar to this, and honestly trying to draw boundaries doesn't always work. This girl kept breaking every single boundary I repeatedly put down, and then blamed her mental illnesses for why she couldn't stick to them. Which is like...okay, I get it, your brain doesn't spit the right juices and that sucks, but that's literally not my problem and I can't live with someone pushing all my buttons all the time.

Fortunately I ended up in a better financial situation and I was able to orchestrate an exit from that household, but she still trashes me to mutual friends as "toxic" because I didn't just grin and bear it.

Well, by themselves boundaries don't actually do anything. You have to enforce them consistently, i.e. every single time and there has to be penalties to make it stick. Glad you got out of that situation, though.
