Penny, Maybe you could have asked her if she would feel comfortable again taking Ambian after she ruined your life while she took it the first time?
I am still learning that I'm not automatically wrong when someone disagrees. Another skill I have a very hard time with is letting others be mad at me without me trying to straighten things out. I'm working on this one constantly; Half the time the others aren't mad in the first place.
When you're coming from a place of frazzled self-esteem and at the same time never wanting to hurt anyone, you're setting yourself up for lots of pain.
When your roommate came to your room, you might have kindly responded that you were uncomfortable with hallucinators in the house and you didn't care what she thought about how you talked to her friends. My bet is the friends thought you were cool which pissed your roommate off again. Tell her to grow up or go drop a few hits of Ambien and go to the circus. Then, close your door and don't think another minute about it. She'll learn.Like Bob Marley said..Get up-stand up
Stand up for your rightsor listen to Could You Be Loved(Very empowering)
Could you be loved, and be loved?
Could you be loved, and be loved?Don't let them fool ya,
Or even try to school ya! Oh, no!
We've got a mind of our own,
So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right!
Love would never leave us alone,
Ay-in the darkness there must come out to light.Could you be loved, and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too,
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you)
Love your brotherman!
(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?)Don't let them change ya, oh!
Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no!
We've got a life to live.
They say: only - only -
only the fittest of the fittest shall survive -
Stay alive! Eh!Could you be loved, and be loved?
