I live with a 73 yr old woman. She seems to me to be controling and she drives me nuts. If she angry instead of talking about whats going on she gets up and litterly stomps off to her room and slams the door. she has been doing this for the 14 yrs i have been living here. She says she does not feel good physically but dispite her having medicare she will not go to MD. She does not like social groups and her family is having a get together because the woman sister died and her nephew wants her to go out to eat. She does not have money to buy clothes she lives in sweat pants and flannel shirts. so instead of saying she does not want to or does not have the closthes she gets all nervous and mad. Then i told her i did not have the money to go to ortho. she said that i said i did . I said to her thats not want i said i said I have a 1/2 a tank of gas in the car. she said well you going to have to put 25 dollars in and then i will put 25 dollars in. i said but i have 15 dollars i to my name. She said Im tired of arguing with you and thas when she stomped off to her room and slamed the door. I thought there goes teh 2 yr old. Im so tired of this i wish i could move but can't like i said i only have $15. plus she was suppose to get a will done and make it so i get the place when she dies and if i decided to leave to sell it and split the money from it with her son. she went to the lawyer and it has been a month and we have not seen a will or heard anything. She still has not called them and asked them about it. I have no clue what to do. She also said if i give you money for gas there goes your birthday. I don't care about my birthday. i dont even want to celebrate or have one. I just want my life to end . Im tired of worrying about everything and about getting old.

Is she related to YOU? Is she hard of hearing?

She sounds like a very unhappy woman, who has health problems that don't help matters. It does sound like she might be in pain too, so that may be part of the problem. Plus I'm sure she's depressed. She could definitely use an antidepressant -- but I doubt you'll even get her to a doctor! She sounds like one of those who doesn't trust doctors, and won't have anything to do with them.

As for you ~ I think YOU are depressed as well. I know you're not happy with your living situation, but it's something you cannot help. Many of us aren't happy with our living situations. But if you're like me, you're grateful for a roof over your head. This country has so many homeless people that it's pitiful, and we're supposed to be a "Superpower?" Yet, we can't even take care of our own people??? It's Shameful!

Anyway -- I'd suggest that you go to the doctor, and ask him for an antidepressant. If you can't afford them, he can give you SAMPLES. If he doesn't have samples, call this number: Free Health Hotline: 1-800-348-8754. I'm not sure how much help they can give you, but it's worth a call!
Plus the manufacturers of medications very often help with paying for their meds, or will offer them for FREE if you can't afford to pay for them. So call the manufacturer too! Best of luck and God bless. Hugs, Lee
