Just wondering..

Does anyone else feel extremely trapped or afraid when sleeping arrangements are changed suddenly?

Just an example, I share a bedroom with my cousin and I have since the tail end of September. We also sleep on the same bed. In December her boyfriend came to stay here and was set to sleep on the couch.

Last night, their son was screaming and wouldn't stop unless they were both in there. I don't feel comfortable laying on the bed with the both of them and ended up falling asleep on the couch.

I have been upset, paranoid, scared, and wanting to cry since I woke up.

I think it may be because of the sudden change of sleeping arrangements. Has anyone else experienced something similar to this?

This reminds me very much of an abandonment style reaction. Of course it is disturbing when you can;t sleep in your own bed, but each time you've been kicked out in preference of someone else. Each time someone else's needs are being taken care of more than yours.

One suggestion, can you arrange a more practical sleeping arrangement? Sharing a bed with a woman who has a partner and a young son doesn't sound a all wise to me.

I must have forgotten to add that we live in a house that is not designed for so many people. I want to move out as soon as possible but my physical health prevents me from finding work as quickly as I'd like to.

Also, because my cousin and her boyfriend are not married, her dad doesn't want them sleeping in the same bed. On top of that, because of my physical health, the couch hurts me very badly, I woke up also in a tremendous amount of pain the other morning.

The room we are in also used to just be mine, that could be a factor also.

As far back as I can remember I've never had stability, so I'm trying to gain it. I know I know, I've heard it all "Get a job and get it for yourself then" see, I've had work, and I've had my own place, but because of my health, things get a lot more complicated.
