I talked with staff to change rooms. I knew this was coming, but they asked what's going on. I was lucky that, on duty, there is a helpful, safe and healthy member of the staff. I tried to frame it as I'm not feeling safe, though, then, the question came: what's going on? Basically, I explained the waking up from sleep (and me, consequently) and the drug use. I was told he'll talk about it, today, with the manager. Not feeling too confident the manager will do me a favor and move me to another, better, room. The reason for this is that the covert sociopath that used to live in the same room with me and who was abusing me is his favorite in the shelter. That speaks volumes to his character.
