Don't be walking around in your sleep knockin' on your wood either.

:H

So I'm thinking my roomie must know about my past somehow, but won't tell me what she knows. All of a sudden she freaks out when I buy a beer, and seems to have a huge problem with it. I told her it's cuz she's stressing me out, but haven't told her why. This sucks...she didn't seem to be so horrible when I was talking to her before.

Christ, you've hired a nanny, not a roomie! It sounds like she's sussed the alchy part of you pretty quickly, seems odd though that she's taken such an interest so rapidly!

2 choices really - tell her to piss off and mind her own business, which might sour the relationship somewhat, or tell her. So 3 choices I suppose, some vague middle ground. Personally, I'd just tell her, but a lot of people don't like that approach, so it's up to you.

One thing I wouldn't take is a lecture from her after you've told her. It's your choice.

Not your typical roomie either way you cut it though!

Could she be reading your posts bleepster?

Bleep I've decided to go with option 3 for now. I came close to telling her, but she failed 2 tests. One, she said that depression is a "weird mental disorder." And 2, I believe that alcoholism and sexuality are both mostly, if not entirely, genetic issues, so one way I gauge people's probable reaction to addiction is by asking about the other.
So some gay crap came up on TV, and I asked her
if gayness was a choice or not, and she said yes, and then I asked if you can "pray the gay away". She said yeah probably, but tried to change her answer after I looked at her like she was completely stupid.

All in all, she's proven to be more than a few Excederin tablets short of a full medicine cabinet.

Shit, so all this time we could have just prayed our problems away? Dammit Slippery, I wish you'd told me before I went the baclofen route, could have saved myself a fortune! Hang on - i remember trying that a few times, even though i don't pray, and it never worked. tell her she's talking crap!

alas, it sounds like a lost cause before it's even begun.

Hmmm, the chick has issues. I think she needs lots of good hard shagging. Even if she's a double-bagger, I think you have a duty to cure her. You should bring up your treatment option and see how she reacts.

"Pray the gay away"????!?!?!!!? I'm appalled such a phrase even exists.

Sorry for the late notice bleep, but at least you found out now you can pray away your disease!

And Murph, I agree with your thoughts, although the last time I heard that phrase was from Michele Bachmann's husband, who is insane, and most likely

Tonight I was thinking that maybe this crazy chick can be of some use. Without alcohol, I'm seeing how truly introverted I am. It's kinda frustrating because I see how awesome I am, but I can't really express it yet. In the meantime maybe she can help me draw myself out. Or I'll lose my mind. Either way.

hmmm. Forgive the intrusion fellas. Might be kinda hard to tell WHAT you are, slipperish, when you are basing it on the fact that some chick who thinks (seriously?) you can pray the gay away has just invaded your space and your life when you're having epiphanies and revelations (or at least clear thoughts :H) related to clarity of thought...
If she's not hot enough to lose that clarity of thought and start thinking naughty thoughts, and she's a knucklehead of the first degree, I wouldn't think she's a good baseline. Ya' know?
Lots of cool people in Seattle. Go find some and THEN you can decide if you're an introvert. 'cause it sounds like she's just an idiot. Who's got time for that nonsense?

[SlipperyPete]

Hmm good point there. She DOES make me not want to talk, but at the same time my mind has stopped getting flooded with thoughts like when I was titrating up, so I feel a bit flat.

Damn, I thought your post said knuckle-dragger at first :H. I'm using that one.

Pete, you've gone quiet. No update for 4 days. What's that about? I'm guessing you got it on with the knuckle-dragger and you've been too busy exchanging body fluids to post on your thread.

Am I right? I am, aren't I? Am I? Am I? Yeah, I'm right.

If that were the case, it wouldn't be very gentlemanly of me to say so...altho I prolly still would

I realized that the the last 17 pages of my thread were about my roomie and figured you guys had gotten tired of it. But anyways, things have gotten worse. Depression has crept back in, and after going a week without a drink, I don't think I've had 2 straight AF days in the past week.

This girl has gotten progressively more evil, to the point where I'm considering just not paying any attention to her at all. I don't know how much of it I can blame on her, or how much is due to me, but she's basically brought out the worst in me. In the end I'm sure I'll come out stronger, but for now FML.

I think I need something for my depression, but don't really want to get back on another AD. I'm thinking about getting some 5-HTP, but I can't really afford to go trying different stuff at the moment, what with no job, which is also contributing greatly to my depression. Lately though everything just seems sooo serious! I'm struggling to find the humor in situations, which sucks!

I hate these pity-pot updates, but that's where I'm at right now

Can't you get rid of the roomie? She sounds like a PITA. If there are lease issues, I'm sure it's nothing a midnight piss or two wouldn't resolve amicably.

Sorry to hear that seems like it's turned to shit. I hate to say it, but have you considered going up a level? Has this been all at one level? If you've gone up through it and it hasn't helped, then going up again probably won't help it, but it's something to consider.

Were you on AD's previously? Perhaps revisit something that has worked in the past? You'll get through it Slippery.

Why tf not? You've used ADs in the past, did any of them work? If yes, get tf back on them. If no, then try some others.

You're depressed. There are meds to help with depression. Use them.

And maybe you should piss on the roomy in the middle of the night...just for shitz and giggles.

howdy, pete. sorry about the roomie. i had a series of unfortunate roomies when i lived in nyc. yuck. they can really color your whole life in a putrid hue. ergh. get rid of her!

i just looked into 5htp, and i don't think it's very expensive at all. if i remember correctly, it's about thirteen dollars a bottle. seems some of you here have had great success with it. (moglor, for instance, used to be VERY depressed, but has reported amazing results from taking it.)

good luck with all. chin up!
