I've been battling severe depression for weeks. All I want to do most days is sleep, but of course I can't because insomnia is always part of my depression. I'm so annoyed with myself for being so moody. I don't like feeling so vulnerable. And I definitely cannot deal with the amount of anger I am experiencing.
Things have been happening around here that piss me off. Ever since CJ got back from Iraq, I have been tiptoeing around trying not to be in her way or upset her. She unfortunately hasn't been very considerate towards me or her sister. At first it was just little things and we tried to let them slide. Over time, it really started to bug me. She just takes over everything! She lays down on the couch so no one else can sit there, which means I can't sit beside my girlfriend unless we sit on the floor. She always has control of the remote, so if we want to watch something on tv we have to ask her permission. And if we are watching something and she comes home, she will be obnoxious until we give over control of the tv so she can watch her "shows". She eats whatever she feels like eating and never buys anything for the house except junk food for herself. She wasn't even buying cat litter for her own cats until we stopped buying it and she was forced to because the stench of the litter box was unbearable.
Not to mention that she always sleeps on the couch. Which means if I have insomnia or nightmares, I am forced to remain in our bedroom so I don't disturb her sleep. I didn't like it but I was dealing with it because we had the larger of the two bedrooms and I could sit on the floor with my laptop or read without disturbing my girlfriend. (The switching of the bedrooms to give us the larger one was something CJ agreed to before she left for Iraq.) A while ago, CJ asked about switching the bedrooms back so she could have the larger one. I explained to her that it didn't make sense for her to have the large bedroom and force 2 people to share the smaller one. She dropped it at the time, but she didn't forget it. Last week on the first of my girlfriends 2 days off (at 7am no less) CJ threw a tantrum. No kidding, a real bratty teenager tantrum! She demanded that we give her "her room" back. She told some bullshit story about how she tried to sleep in the bedroom but she couldn't because it was just too small. (I know it was all bullshit to get us to do what she wanted because when we went in there to pack up her shit the bed was still made and there was a giant pile of clothes on it that had been there for a month. Can't very well sleep in a bed like that.) My girlfriend and I talked it over that morning and just decided to switch the rooms and let the drama queen have what she wanted so we didn't have to listen to it anymore. A couple of hours after we started packing things up, we get a text from CJ saying "oh well you don't have to switch the rooms right now but I want my room back by Sunday." WTF??? Not only is she giving us orders, but she's giving us deadlines?! I was beyond pissed. I am not her child. I am not her employee. And there is no reason to treat us with such disrespect. That's what bothers me most about this situation. She's so selfish and inconsiderate that she thinks it's ok to treat people like dirt to get what she wants. We are hoping we can move out of here in a few months and then CJ can have all the space she wants. And good luck to her because I know that with the way she is with money she's going to be up shit creek without a paddle when we're gone.
Wow, I didn't realize I was still that angry.
We found a couple of apartments that we might be able to afford. We're on a waiting list for one complex. The other complex has a 1 bedroom coming open October 1st, but I just don't know if we can get together the money to pay the security deposit, pet deposit, fees, and first months rent before that date. I really wish I knew someone who could lend me $1500.

Hey hon, I can totally understand you being depressed. CJ has been a total jerk with you. I can't wait until you guys can get your own apartment so you don't have to deal with this crap anymore. If you need to talk I'm here for you. I'm off work all weekend so feel free to call me. Love ya
ReplyDeleteWow I am sorry this CJ person is giving you such a hard time. It is ridiclous, but you know why she throws a fit? Because you give in. When someone acts like a child. You can't give into them, because they realize..all I have to do to get what I want is to have a bitch fit. You and your girlfriend need to come together and say, no more. Don't give into her. You don't have to be rude and dispespect her like she does to you, but you could say, You can watch whatever you want, but right now we are watching something. Or for the room thing, tell her, so you are not switching rooms with her. And that is that. Stick to your guns. I hope the moving out thing works.
