My friend/roommate went through my anxiety medication and told everyone. What should I do?

[Anonymous]

My roommate confronted me while we were drunk the other day. She told me she went into my room "by accident while looking for me" and "accidentally" came upon my anxiety/depression medication. She said that because she's studying psychology at college, she knows what's wrong with me and told me that she always thought my life was perfect before looking through my room and finding this.

Now I've found out that she told her boyfriend and some others that I have depression and that I might harm or kill myself. This is not true about me I never told her such things. I went away over the winter break and when I came back she said in front of everyone she "thought I was dead." What should I do? Should I confront her? I don't want a huge drama.

You do need to talk to her about confidentiality. If she is studying psychology, then a possible career path is counselling and guess what, you do not just blab everything to your boyfriend. Also if the ‘I’m studying XYZ, therefore I know what’s wrong with you’ was an actual thing, we would no longer have ill people, student doctors and those studying psychology could cure us all. Have a talk to her, ask her how she would handle it if you were her paying client, would she keep it confidential or let everyone know.

Thank you so much, I'm scared to confront her but I'll do it

She’s no friend. She’s an immature idiot and she won’t get a job in psychology if she acts like that. Dump her now and make real friends

She sounds like a bitch. Honestly being treated for anxiety now a days is normal. She’s trying to shame you and you should stop her and call her out. It’s not your fault that you have anxiety and it’s amazing that you have figured it out and are getting treated. Like any other illness it gets treated and it’s no one’s business but yours.

That’s an invasion of privacy.




Split asap. That friendship is over
