I am currently:
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

Hi.
Personally, I wouldn't feel too guilty about your reasoning about it - all the other reasons you have are valid, and it's not like you're saying 'I want a single room because I'm too good to share with anyone' - like some stuck up people at my Uni did.
Erm...yeah, not really helpful but I just wanted you to know I support your reasoning.

is having a single room actually going to help you? or is it just going to enable you to harm more, and allow you to avoid people and doing things? just like you wouldn't want to enable a family member or friend who is an alcoholic, don't do things to enable yourself to harm more easily




this is my magical medicine cabinet. Left to right they contain: courage, hope, calmness, and strength.

The magical part: They NEVER run out, so borrow some any time you want.



PM me anytime, I love getting messages :)
