Hey there. I don't have any content to offer, because I'm currently in debt to my roommate to the extent that I've been trying to take on 56-hour work weeks. I can't leave until I pay her back, but she's been making my life a living hell -- the apartment is filthy enough that I've been so ill I can't work. In the last week, I've dealt with 7 dozen rotting eggs being left out in the living room; copious amounts of milk left out to spoil and mold over, despite my allergy to compounds found in mold; dog feces being left out in the living room 24/7; cat feces left in the bathroom; open garbage bags sitting out for days... And when I asked why there were eggs all over, she tried to gaslight me, pretending they didn't exist. I was abused for the first 22 years of my life, and fell into debt to her because I didn't have enough savings to support myself upon escaping that situation. Now, I'm living paycheck to paycheck at a job that hasn't been able to give me many hours due to business being slow over the winter -- I've been trying for months to get a second job, but ended up nearly being assaulted by a coworker there with management doing nothing about it, so I had to quit. I've only been eating one meal per day trying to stretch the money I do have from my main job, and it's just not working. On top of everything, now, my roommate seems dangerously close to just trying to kick me out. I'm on the lease, so she can't do that legally, but I worry that if I don't get out soon she's going to actively try to make my life as hellish as possible so I leave. She's already put me in a position where fleeing the country for a week was safer than living in my own apartment. I need help. Any help at all would be deeply appreciated.
