In the Veterans Integration Center (the program I'm in), two veterans occupy a room (i.e., a motel room). It's a nice motel, but the rooms are small--not much privacy here. We're almost in each other's faces--in near proximity at all times. A lot of veterans have trouble with their roommates--half are mentally ill, supposedly. I myself suffer from PTSD and chronic depression, but the mantras help tremendously, as well as the Paxil. My roommate isn't taking any medication--she refuses to be labeled in any way. Very unreasonable. To make a long story short, for now, I'm stuck with her... until something gives.
I'm keeping an account of everything going on--emailing her case manager and mine often enough; I'm covering my ass.

Ah, I see. I misunderstood. I thought you were in some type of student or university housing. I get it now.
