Intervention and I am Pissed- HELP

I cant find an appropriate category for this…

My roommates and I do not get along anymore, but we used to. We all used to be best friends until another friend and I got in a fight in December and then everyone else went behind my back and talked crap about me. It was really hard for awhile. 9I’m in college btw) and I share an apartment with 3 other girls and I share a room with 1 of them too. It is hard enough not having any space. Plus, I just felt betrayed and hurt by them so I have just stopped being as close with them. There was never a confrontation b/c I thought everything would eventually be okay if we just left it alone. Until yesterday…

They all ambushed me and had an intervention telling me that it was okay to be sad sometimes and that I shouldn’t do anything drastic and also that if I needed to talk then I could. Plus, my roommate had the nerve to say that I need counseling. I obiously did not take it well. Turns out they had told the PRESIDENT of my sorority who called me in for a talk and made an appointment at the student counseling center and basically forced me to go. Little did I know, my roommates went on my computer looking at my blog and think I am suicidal. Btw, the blog is very personal and set to where only I can read it. Also, even though I am fine, I just wrote some stuff that I thought no one would ever read on there like ‘sometimes I just don’t know why life is worth it’ kind of stuff. Nothing drastic. Anyways I blew up at them and I was just wondering if you think I have a right to be upset, and also how you think I should handle the situation. Thanks :)

Answer #1

Honestly, I am trying to work this out. So far I have gone privately to two of the girls and expressed my hurt and frustration at the situation, and it has been better than trying to talk to them as a group. It has been hard, but someone needed to initiate the changes that are going to HAVE to take place.

Answer #2

Of course you have a right to be upset…your blog was like your diary, and how dare they look at it!! Makes ya wonder if it had been a diary in your dresser drawer…would they stil read it?? I think so…

As it is, the best thing you can do now…is explain to the sorority president that this was MY diary…my virtual diary…”getting my feelings out by puttng them down”…these writings…in NO way indicate what I feel at THIS moment, only what I felt at THAT moment…” Hopefully, she will be mature enough, to understand that your personal diary is none of your roomies business, and for that matter none of HER business, either…Tell her this is a situation that has simply spun out of control…that you never have considered suicide as a real option, nor do you think you ever will…

I want to share a little “passed down” advice from my mother…”never write down ANYTHING you don’t want anyone else to know”… it was a tough one for me to learn…but I finally did, and NOTHING has come up to bite me in the butt since I learned it.

I have had jornals since I was like 10 and now im 20. But I discovered blogging and it is just so much easier to type it out super fast… oh well haha. I guess I set myself up for this one huh.

Answer #4

I appreciate you guys… yeah I deleted my blog. I decided its just not worth it anymore.

Answer #5

“I appreciate your concern for me, but it was wrong to go on my computer without my permission and use personal information against me, even elevating it, when you don’t know why I said what I said and it meant to be for my eyes only - again, I do appreciate your concern but please do not violate any of my personal items again”

Answer #6

I did, it was password protected on my computer and I forgot to log out of it and they got on my computer when I wasn’t home and looked through it all.

Answer #7

I would be pissed too… and I was… when someone tried to intervene on my behalf… and I lied to my counselor for a year… lol, yes this has a point… I now realize people just cared about me and were worried… and maybe counseling could actually help… although I will admit till I went there on my own, I refused to let it help… you’re not going to get help till you decide you want or need it. either way, these people care about you, dont throw that away over something this stupid. it’s hard to find people who give a damn

Answer #8

You can still type it up… and then password protect whatever you type up…

Answer #9

but you should have a place you get to say whatever you want without judgment… maybe a diary would be better? sometimes you gotta get things out… sometimes it means something, sometimes it doesnt… wasnt making any judgments…

Answer #10

I agree with never write down anything you never want anyone to know-especially on a computer, however, your privacy was invaded. Seems like you learned your lesson but others haven’t. Maybe just move on and maybe out. If you need to write down something, try shreading it afterwards. Counceling isn’t a bad idea, it doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you, you may need to voice some opinions to someone that doesn’t know you and you can clear your head.
