Walking on eggshells
So not sure exactly where to post this but here is my issue: A person I live with I swear she has bipolar or something. One minute she is nice as she can be and the next she's jumping down mine or anyone for that matter throat for no reason. She is making my anxiety go through the roof. I'm terrified to be around her. I never know how she is going to be and I don't know what to do. I have no where else to go and no job but I have been trying to find one and applying with no luck. I just don't know how much more I can take. I think everyone is terrified of her nobody will stand up to her. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. I'm at my wit's end here. I just want to be happy and not terrified and walking on eggshells all the time.

Simple steps: explain to her how she makes you feel and that your mental and psychological health is affected by her behaviour (some pwople just don't realise they affect others).
After doing that for a while if things don't change, reach out to authorities: her boss or even police for harassment.
If that doesn't work, just kick some ads: when agressive respond back, if you are afraid, gang up with a few friends and respond back, just toshow her it is not ok...
The last thong is to leave, it is the hardest to do, find another job, leave your friends but in the end we have to get rid of toxic people for our own good or you will be under her terrorising shoe indeffinitely...
I am truly sorry you get bullied like this....
Thank you all for your responses. If I could leave I would in a heartbeat but I can't right now. I don't have a car or a job and I am not leaving my cat. Any little thing could set this person off. She has called me names, yelled at me for not cleaning right, she's a neat freak and I also believe she has OCD. She has lots of medical problems but that is no excuse to be mean to people. What I mean about being terrified of her is she is super intimidating and will get in your face and has the potential to get physical and that is what terrifies me. I'm in my 30s and she treats me like a child. She is super judgemental of anyone different than she is especially people my age and younger. I just wish I could find a way out of this. She has snooped on my personal social media pages and admitted to watching me sleep. She brings up anything to use against anyone myself included could be something that happened 10 years ago she will bring it up.
@Uglyduckling1988 I am sorry I did not pay enough attention to see it os a domestic problem and not a work problem. My appologises and I feel ashamed for not paying attention to what people write....
@Uglyduckling1988 That is pretty freaky. I hope you can find a way ou . Any security measures that are appropriate. If you have a bedroom door, when you close it, put a butter knife in it up high where it closes so that if she enters it will fall and make a nois . If you have any type of holiday decoration that is motion activated then put it in front of your doo . I dont know what your local resources are but I would look into family crisis centers or community mental health centers to see about more resources.
What about reaching out to a cat rescues to foster while you go somewhere safe until you can be reunited. They understand that pets are a big reason people don
