How do you deal with a situation where you feel stuck?

twentysomething27 July 4th, 2017

I went away for the weekend, and had zero anxiety. It was wonderful and my boyfriend and I had a fantastic time. Coming home has showed me what my anxiety trigger is, and unfortunately it's our roommate, who is also my boyfriends best friend. He infuriates and belittles me and talks to me like a complete jerk(for lack of a better word here). I don't know what to do, and I feel stuck.

i believe that we always be in the same stuck problem . You don't know how to deal with your romemate because he is your boyfriend's bestfriend . You should considet the reasons that make your romemate treat you like that. if you really want to stay with them try to fix your mistakes then wait for the same action for him . Or you can for sure tell yourboyfriend so you will know if he will do any thing to help your situation .but the most important thing that you never sacrifice your respect and your mour-propre for anything in your life included your boyfriend .dont let any one look at you a priceless look

This guide on 7cups in the path menu may help a bit despite it not being specific to the situation.

There's another guide too on setting "boundries" which may have some related tips.

Last time I lived with someone that refused to respect me I had to move out and cut ties with them to prevent it from happening again over and over. It was hard on someone else who still lived with and cared about them because of it but thankfully they understood my position and didn't hold it against me.

It sounds like your problem is directly related to your boyfriend's best friend. If he bothers you constantly and causes you anxiety than definitely you need to take action, whether it is to talk directly to him, your boyfriend or the authorities of the dorm/apartment.

If you feel like you are not able to reach out to anyone directly or are feeling too shy to actually talk to someone in person then I definitely suggest talking to a listener on: https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/

If you think that you are feeling stuck then I definitely suggest giving the Getting Unstuck guide on 7 cups a read:https://www.7cups.com/getting-unstuck/
