From the old thread:
Awwww. 
You need someone who knows the system who can step up to bat for you. Is there someone - a councillor, caseworker, anyone - that you've bonded with, who would have your best interests in mind? Failing that, do you think your sister would step in and try to help? I don't care if she has mental health issues, the bottom line is, you're being abused. If it were a spousal situation, the law would stop it. Just because it's more of a casual roommate situation doesn't make it any more right. Further, those in the agency are complicit in the abuse, by allowing her to stay there and continue it. You really need someone to help you. Wish I were close enough to help. 
Well, my secondary councilor {he's an art therapist fir a group i go to....and if we are really feeling bad etc he encourages us to let our individual therapist know. ANd i've only had THIS primary therapist for ? 2 1/2 months she became my permenant thrapist in Sept after the clinic found out my old therapist had gotwen too sick to return to the clinic.
Obviously if it was a genuinely dangerous situation by law he would have to repert certain things.
Right now my new therapist is basically trying to help me "control" my much less frequent outbursts at her so NR doesn't get triggered off.
ANd there's a housing shortage, too.
Yeah,
I know that this IS real abuse.
MY council said "that's why we are trying to get you out of there"
Of course that ISN't the point!
I just can't ask my sis ......she's done a fair amount for me since i've bween sick. ANd she's doing ALOT of the meetings and paperwork etc related to my parents .
The new people in my group said "you should file a report with the police.
THat night when the Supervisor for the Field Office came over b/c A) some one in the building called to compalin that there was noise coming from the apartemnt B) nice roomie cllled him too on her cell phone after NR ripped out the base of the cordless phone from the wall after I tried to call the office - after she's thrown my keys at he, .he said in front of NR...to me "DO you want to press charges?"
I said "no."
What good is it to press charges when the person is still living with you?!?
THAT might enrage her more!
I'm prety sure i could defend myself IF i really had to.
OH my goodness, VP - I"ve been ready to drag her off the couch and rip her hair out, or smash her one myself. BUT I have very good impulse control.
ANd the times it's been more scary I've slept with heavy objects. I've at times also put someting big enough in front of my door so that if she tried to come in while was in there sleeping, I'd hear her, and launch what ever i needed to keep myself self.
Maybe this new therapist might help at some point . I know he was shocked at my story.
I would love it, I've never been out West at all - I want to see a palm tree
!
but I think I can manage with a couple of drinks and some xanax
) For a cross-continental flight (I've flown to SF from TO), bring lots of cds, your discman and book(s)... I distinctly recall the inflight movie sucking *snerk* Then again, it was also Air Canada... 
Look how he's gripping his shoulder! 
hola! 
It appears that nearly every U2 and Madonna album is protected by license which means I won't be able to convert them to iTunes anyway.
palm trees.the times I've seen the3m in Phoenix {passing thru} and in LA visiting .
I got a lot of my rare U2 songs from Kaf. over MSN. Most of my Madonna rarities were from Bearshare.
