Servant, your roomate is NOT as bad as the ones you had last year. He will not grab you by the throat. Just tell yourself that your fear is irrational and a product of your depression, because it IS! I guess you're welcome to be as paranoid or as irrational as you like, but know that it is not the truth that you're afraid of. It's something that doesn't exist. Take THESE thoughts captive to God, because the emotions are hard enough to deal with by themselves!

Servant4ever,
Remember, we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against powers and principalities. This roommate of yours probably doesn't even realize what he is doing. Pray for him.
Go to Psalm 91 and read it over and over again before you go into this fellows presence again. Rest dear one under the wings of the Almighty God. HE is bigger than your circumstances. Tell the Lord you give the battle to Him for HE said in His Holy Word, "The battle is MINE saith the Lord!" Remember that courage is not a lack of fear, it is doing the right things even in the face of your fear. Praying for you precious warrior!

That's a good point. I'd bet good money that your roomate does NOT know how strongly you take things. Don't go to sleep terrified that he will kill you or something! TALK about it with him! If he says over and over that he doesn't mean any disrespect, or that he NEVER means to threaten you, perhaps you're just mistaking his words and actions over and over. You need to translate what he says and does through HIS eyes, not through YOUR experiences as you ARE close as roomates, and misunderstanding is a bad thing.

Hello Deamiter,

I was so scared of him last night that I made him agree with me that he would not lay a finger on me if I went to bed. He ended up leaving the room. I was shaking for 2 hours straight because I was so scared. He has progressively getting more and more agressive and violent, I hope he does not beat me up, or threaten to, like what happened last year. Last year I had 4 A's and a C my first semester as a Freshmen in college. My Spring Semester I got 1 B 2 C's and a D because of what happeneed with my roommate. I have a feeling this will happen this semester again.

It's getting worse,

Now all my roommates are telling me I am totally wrong in my opinion. He threatened me and no one believes me. My roommate is such a liar. I knew this is going to be just like last year. I give up trying to achieve in school.

Does he know what happened to you? Have you talked about it with him? Maybe he is just joking and doesn't know how much it is affecting you. Talk about it with him and then if he still doesn't shape up, find a new roommate. Also talk about it with your other roommates so that everyone is on the same page. At any rate, don't give up trying to achieve at school.

Never give up... people always have different opinions, but in the end... in some odd way things will work out if you try to fix them. I pray your roomate calms down and your fears subside.
