Yellow has never been my favorite color.<br>\u00a0<br>2:01 a.m. is a new day, and I get to send email. Roommate had been so isolated and withdrawn that he had been using plastic bottles to collect urine. I discovered the bottles when I was checking how well The Maids did on cleaning the bedroom. At first glance I just thought the many bottles were actual food items. Guess again. Not food.<br>\u00a0<br>Feelings: is it possible to have too many at once Embarrassed; sad; disturbed; really tired.<br>\u00a0<br>Responsible &#8211; Was it MY fault he couldn&#8217;t come out of the bedroom? Guilty &#8211; Should I have demanded he engage sooner? Did I fuck up? Confused &#8211; Couldn\u2019t he wait till I was asleep? Was he resenting that I had a job, working from home, and I was constantly in the main area? Grossed out &#8211; Physical revulsion at dealing with disposal of the filled bottles. Sad &#8211; Things got so bad for him and no one knew. He was suffering one wall away.<br>Validated &#8211; I\u2019m doing the right thing getting him out.<br>Grief &#8211; He was suffering close by and I couldn&#8217;t help.<br>Cramps &#8211; IBS has kicked in. Stress? The salad for dinner? Mystery.<br>\u00a0<br>I don\u2019t know what is happening with him regarding jail or housing. I left voice mail for PO, asking. Most likely he\u2019ll be in jail through weekend. I sent a concrete text to PO about the storing pee in bottles. Seems like something she should know about. I concluded my note with, \u201cCan you help him?\u201d<br>\u00a0<br>One more feeling: worry. Will the help I\u2019m finding be enough?
