It's just lovely when you say hello to your roommates, and she just completely ignores me.

Ah that’s shit

Sounds nice your Mrs was there supporting us OT’s, and I hope she enjoys her chosen area of health @ArraDreaming 🙌🏻🙂

@PinkFlamingo  Thank you. I read what Google was telling me. But I don’t understand the application of Mental Health OT.

I didn’t sleep last night, my brain is struggling.

Today will be small amounts of information and concentration, frequent breaks, followed by a sauna.

How do I know if my roommates don’t like me? They have been passive-aggressive and my friend even noticed the other day.

Hey there @Glisten 🙂🌺

sounds like an easy arvo would be nice? 🙂 

I’ll keep this really easy 🌺.. MH OT when I was working, helped reduce or remove - with all my skills/toolkit/resources possible - any barriers that got in the way of someone achieving what they needed to be as independent as they wanted to be.. for instance, budget help, caring for one’s health and home (or finding a home), finding work, finding friends/reconnecting with community, etc. 

I was once told my job was the jack of all trades of smoothing the way to moving forward with life. 
Hope that helps 💜🌺🙂

Sorry to hear that @Birdofparadise8 😔💜

I do think that if the accommodation is somehow in some way connected to the uni, it likely falls under their policies regarding rights and responsibilities of students, as well as codes of conduct and bullying..? 
Otherwise, if it’s a situation where it’s private rental, it falls under state and federal various Acts (discrimination, etc) as far as I was aware..my knowledge is a bit out of date though, and these concepts would need to be checked for currency.
