I'm attending college for physical therapy this began in May 2022. I'm struggling in class because of my metal health conditions they don't let me progress, I want to move forward in life so bad, I have to pay school out of pocket every month since i an a DREAMER so i don't qualify for financial aid , and bills and rent. I paid 5,000 down. I have no support from my family, I tried to split the bills with the other working adults in this house , and they accepted, but now I get condescending comments and they feel entitled to my time that i try to use to study to send me on errands or make me drive them places or do their chores, I only gave them 2 bills to take the load of myself a little financially but now I'm more stressed. so I decided to just keep paying everything myself, I'm applied for a new job, so I'm working three jobs and going to school. I don't know how many silent breakdowns I can Handle anymore.

      Oh baby... I'm so sorry you're stuck with people like that. I went through something a bit similar about two years ago. I was looking for a roommate and my sister's and her old coworker were talking about how her sister needed a place to stay as well. The coworker told my sister that her sister was bipolar, she mainly stayed to herself in her room, and she was on disability. I grew up with bipolar people so I could handle that and when I'm not working I like to be left alone in my room as well. But no, she was not bipolar she was schizophrenic, not to mention her sister treated her like a child so she didn't know how to do anything, and was super clingy/needy. She would always bother me. I was always at work and would come home to the kitchen covered in coffee stains, dishes in the sink, trash on the floor, overall a messy home. If I wanted to have a friend over to watch a movie, she would constantly talk though out it even though we asked not to. Not even my best friend wanted to come around anymore. She even kept asking me to buy her things all the time. Anytime I came home from a night shift and I saw the lights on I would wait in my car until she turned them off. Which has now lead to a bad habit of me sitting in the car when I get home for 30 to an hour to this day. I even got a second job to help avoid her and help out with bills Now let's about the bills. I was always at work and somehow the light bill just kept getting higher and higher, I had asked her numerous times to turn off the lights if not using them. I even messaged her sister saying I don't see how it's fair that I pay for half the lights when I'm not the main one using them. The old coworker didn't trust her sister with her disability check so I would tell her the amount of the bill and she would send half of it. There was so many red flags and I didn't see them until I nearly worked myself to death from both jobs just to avoid this woman. I was so overwhelmed and didn't know what to do. I needed more money for the bills that were steadily getting higher and higher. Once she moved out and I was on my own things got better for me, my bills got cut down, I stopped taking so many shifts, and I had some peace and quiet again. I hope you can get though your rough time and make your dreams come true. It might take awhile and you might not have all the support you need by you, but that should be your drive to prove them all wrong! I wish you nothing but luck ā¤ļø
