My roommate has Borderline Personality Disorder...and he's been a little upset lately. Rather than express his feelings he says things like "I am going to go off my medication so I'll wind up back in the hospital".."I'm going to go outside and write graffiti on the side of the building"..."I'm gonna go get drunk so I can be rehospitalized"..."I'm gonna try peyote and go crazy and kill everyone in this housing complex"..even though I know that he will not act on it..but he says it when I am assertive with him..he was talking loudly and I just asked him NICELY to be a little less loud....He started acting out and saying all that crazy stuff..he does not do it at his day treatment program, he knows if he does it there they will get on him about it...but he thinks it's perfectly okay to do it here and NOT care if it upsets me..Yes I have told him,nicely, that it upsets me..but he goes ahead and does it. He also has schizophrenia(I don't know if that is part of the problem)...I am at wit's end and sometimes it gets me crying..and I end up always on the short end of his fuse. Anyone who can help is appreciated.
