Argh

He slept until 11:30am, despite me making him coffee, toasting a bagel, gently trying to get him into conversation to wake him up. He told me before bed that he would have to get up early to study before his 12:45pm class today. Yet he wouldn't get up. Finally, 11:30am he wakes up, and now at 1:15pm he is storming around the house insisting that there is no point in going to class because he already missed his quiz. What? WHAT? So he just skips class altogether, leaving me TRAPPED in a house with an angry irrational person on MY day off? He's also finding a way to blame it on ME, saying that if I hadn't been bugging him, he could have gotten the sleep he needed and would have gotten up earlier.

I love him to death and I do realize that his anxiety has control over him right now, but this IS MY DAY OFF!!!

I would never call him "lazy" or "irresponsible" to his face because in my opinion, people tend to rise or lower themselves to your expectations, but... the fact is that he's lazy and irresponsible, anxiety or no anxiety.

If I could think of a "consequence" to his behavior, I would surely issue it... but there is no consequence that I can think of that doesn't also adversely impact ME.

That's why I am trapped.
