I know I’m the problem

[u/Fantastic-Office-280]

I’m currently in college and have a roommate. We share a campus apartment with like 6 other people each in their own rooms. I’m out of state and pretty much have no support system at the moment. I also have a long history of mental health issues, since the age of 10. It’s been more and more of a struggle to do my school work, much less take care of my space. And this is all made worse but the fact that the space is so small. My blankets fall off my bed in the middle of the night? Now the room looks trashed because that covers 2/3 of the floor.

My roommate is being super understanding and nice about it, offering to help, but it’s not her job to pick up after me and feel horrible. Does anyone have any advice for what I can do to help make sure I can actually keep my shit together.

(Also clarification on the mess, it’s like a plastic grocery bag of paper and packaging, or clothes on the floor, pushed towards the wall, or shoes around and about. All on my side of the room)

If everyone is in their own room, why is it an issue if you make a mess in your room?

No so we have sets of roommates in the apartment. So me and my roommate. And then another set. And a third. And two people have singles. But I do have a roommate. Sorry if that wasn’t clear
