your roommate sounds like she is very clinically depressed, that does not mean it's your problem and her son can make his own PB&J and get milk, heck a 10 yr old can do that. Maybe the son would be better off at dad's if he can't count on his mom? I don't know how to approach that tho.
Good Luck at work today

All I did was point out the attitude you have towards people with depression, which you continue to confirm. The opinion or attitude you have is what causes the kind of stigma that people with depression face.
Not everyone's depression is the same. Just because you were more functional does not mean that others will be more functional. And you are right that I dont know what it's like to be in your shoes. And you have no idea what it's like to be in mine. But at least one of us has empathy for the other.

I have noticed that you both like to jump on me when I post in the forums here, in a very non-supportive way where I feel attacked. Then you both back track and try to deflect and blame me for the way you attack me. It violates the community guidelines here, because none of what either of you posted in this thread shows any support or empathy for my situation at all. Rather, you both attack me for being frustrated that my roommate is taking advantage of my good nature and instead of offering any support, you both accuse me of having an attitude against people with depression, etc.,. This seems to be a trend with you both in my posts on the forums. It has to stop.
