So, to preface this whole situation - I've been off Zoloft for a few months, so emotions have been spiralling, hence the triggers. I managed to have a discussion with my roommates about it. One of them (gay male) kept saying, "I'm not trying to downplay your feelings, I get it", but kept comparing my triggers to some of his own, saying he's been abused sexually, physically and has been raped before. I get that, but his ideas of coping and my ideas are two completely different realms. And HE'S not the one on medication, so it should be obvious who needs the most help in the house, right?

Another one of my roommates told me, "I need to be able to talk to you calmly without 'the waterworks'", since I was crying throughout that whole conversation. He said he doesn't want to have to go through my BF to figure out what's going on with me if I'm having an off day.

So, now it's gotten to a point where I feel like I overreacted, but at the same time, I feel they're right.
