Applying For A Single Room =/
So as some of you may or may not know, I'm in my sophomore year at college. Thus far I've always ended up with a roommate. My first semester it was a girl who SI-ed as well so she didn't care. My second roommate was absolutely terrified of anything self-harm related and so I had to hide it from her, but she wasn't around that much either. My current roommate is a past SI-er, so I have to be careful not to trigger her, and to be honest I think it'd upset her to find out that I cut.
Case in point, I'm applying for a single room next semester. There are a billion other reasons why I /could/ want one: the fact that my roommate's friends always being over rachets up my anxiety because I feel like I don't have a safe space, the fact that I'm a really light sleeper and get woken up easily, the fact that being an economics major I have a ton of coursework, all that stuff. But when it comes down to it I really have to admit to myself that the only reason I care whether I have a roommate or not is that I'm sick of having to hide in the closet to cut.
I feel like a horrible person asking for a single when that's my main motivation, when some of the freshmen are crammed in three to a room this year. T____T
I guess I don't even know what I'm asking for here. Just what your guys' thoughts are on this or anything related, I guess. I wanted to get it off my chest because it's something I feel quite guilty about.
Also, running on like 2 hours of sleep, so this may not be the most coherent post...
Best,
Krim
