my roommate suffers from depression and anxiety and has attempted suicide in the past, so i'm not sure if the following could be a symptom of her known problems but...basically she will recall memories incorrectly which has happened at least 3x within 4 months. 1. she had ketchup that she told one of us was for community use, and when that one person used it she totally flipped out and swore she never said such a thing. 2. one of us asked and got permission to use her crock pot, but then later got mad when we returned it cuz she "remembered" that we changed our mind on using it 3. i notified her at least a week in advance that i was going to have friends over to prepare some food, she was totally fine and thanked me for notifying her..and i marked it on our community calendar as a reminder as well. the day came and when my friends were over she was completely confused and claimed that i had never talked to her about it...WTF!!...at first I just thought she was a lyer, but after talking with her..it seems she honestly feels like she remembers correctly. if she has a memory disorder what could it be?

i live with 2 other roommates aside from her, but we're all starting to get really fed up with her. the 3 of us have previously been friends before sharing an apt. but we had a vacant room which we subleased to this girl. we all feel that we can't completely be at home bc the 3 of us have to follow some "rules" for the sake of the girl, and according to the girl she doesn't feel at home bc she feels like "the bitchy one." we've tried to connect with her, but she makes it really difficult and i honestly feel that we've done more than what an average person would do.

we're all college students from out of town but the girl was taking classes during the summer so she was the first to occupy the apt. we all agreed to clean the apt together upon the start of lease, but due to time conflicts we couldn't make it until the day after, which by the time she had already cleaned the kitchen, living/dining rooms. we had called to notify her in advance and we did not expect her to clean it all on her own, she just did it at her own whim. the reason i bring this up is bc she had this built up resentment which she exploded with among other things several months down the line. previous to moving in, we talked about things each of us would contribute for community use and we had left a box of cookware, utensils, and appliances for her to use during the summer. we also had a temporary subleaser (summer only) which was the only one home at the time we dropped off the utensils and stuff, but we had her pass the message that they were all welcome to use the stuff. according to the girl, the temp. subleaser said that they weren't suppose to use the utensils, but i'm starting to doubt that based on the girl's track record of memory (plus, we had a FB thread going on pertaining to the community stuff).....ANYWAY, so this girl decides to buy herself a bunch of new utensils, cookware, appliances...all sorts of shit and is now in debt. this girl had all of our numbers and facebook...she did not contact us with any questions, and we had told her to give us a call if there was any problem or whatever. she doesn't mention a thing, but only called once the whole summer about the internet not working. so, we're thinking everything is OK, and when the school year started we all moved in and were surprised to see the kitchen filled with all brand new stuff and the box of utensils and cookware was still there, untouched...there obviously wasn't room for two whole sets of utensils and cookware so we talked about what should be done and the consensus was the box of stuff would be taken back home. later on she has a break down bc of her financial situation and basically makes us all feel bad (she sent an email and listed a bunch of shit she bought, which btw half were her own personal things we dont touch). and on top of that, she takes in a stray kitten, and included in her email that its expensive to take care of and doesn't "ask" for any monetary help but says that any help would be appreciated, monetary or not. so one of us decides to "donate" (~$50) their next paycheck to this girl, and another one of us buys a bag of cat food or litter, and i just help with kitty chores around the apt. apparently, my non-monetary help isn’t enough bc she told one of my roommates “if you care, you’d help me (monetarily)” and it really pisses me off bc none of us asked for this, having a kitten. Yeah, he’s cute…but its free to run around the whole damn apt, non potty trained, and the girl bought/brought a shit ton of stuff for the kitten and takes so much space. The girl is gone from the apt for long periods of the day and isn’t around so I’d end up cleaning up the kitty accidents on the carpet. OH, and the little thing brought fleas into our apt. this was all since august and continued on until about a month ago. She finds another

Your room mate's depression and anxiety can equal memory problems but from the way she has been acting she needs to go back to her psychiatrist. Her medications are not working. It is for her own good to tell her how she has been acting. All of you tell her as a group. If she will not go get out of there. Your education is most important and her actions are too disturbing.She sounds as if she is bi-polar.
