Mental Health i share a room with my hoarder younger sister
im 15f and about to go into my sophomore year. last year my older brother moved back in because he was struggling to find an apartment he could afford after his lease ended. obviously im not blaming anything on him, hes my older brother and he helps around the house and drives us places whatever. whats really the problem is my sister. i started sharing a room with her because its. 4 bedroom house and i have another younger brother who got his own room, and obviously my parents. she doesn’t throw anything away. she leaves messes on the floor. (specifically cutting hair extensions and leaving the hair there) she has a medical issue which causes her to have accidents (not blaming her for it, it has caused her some trauma recently) but the thing is she wears overnight pull ups. and she leaves them on the floor. i cant tell you how many times ive stepped in one, and immediately almost threw up. it smells bad because she doesnt clean anything up after she has one. she steals my things without asking me, specifically clothes, makeup, perfume, lotion, my action figures, and manga. i would let her use my stuff if she would just ask. its just she puts my things in places around the house and after i yell at her for it she says some corny shit like “well if its yours you should go look for it” like hello??? and also she leaves full cups on the floor for me to knock over, and even full cups of things like milk and she wont fucking go dump it out. im so tired of it. (tw) i used to go through an nssi addiction and because i was (and still am) depressed all the time it just made it worse because she wouldnt do anything. and obviously, im not innocent her either. some of my. clothes are on the floor, i have some trash. but its nowhere near to the extent she does it. also, i just dont have any privacy. im just so tired of it. i love her because shes my sister i just hate it so much. im 15 and my room is a disgusting mess because of her. i want my own clean place where no one can disrespect it. i’d rather sleep on the couch or in the bathtub at this point. im currently writing this in the bathroom just laying on the floor. im so grateful i even have a roof on my head and food and clothes and even extra things like makeup and perfume, and that my parents drive me to work so i can get extra things for me, but i would give up all of those extra things in a second to at least just have a clean room. (i have also cleaned it many times. i have spent days at a time cleaning it) but thanks for listening!
