Im under an insane amount of stress.

Really quickly, my friend C and I have been in the same program since 2023. We became good friends this past year and we are both in our late 20s. I am currently sharing a basement with another classmate who is leaving the country in May. We are all graduating at the end of this month.

My current roommate (lets call her M) told me of her plans going back home in December. I started immediately trying to figure out what should I do next and had lots of options. I honestly can’t remember how it happened but basically C said she would love to move in with me and taking M’s lease. This is all at the latest in late December.

This whole time I have asked C a few times if she still wanted to move in. She always said yea. There were times we could’ve gotten a third or four roommate or move to different places (which i was happy to do, i dont like my place due to reason i will enlist) and she always said she was fine with anything. Late March i even got offered another basement but said no as I consulted with C and we thought was better to finish our contract in my current place and move out after September (our city is very popular for seasonal workers in the summer so rent skyrockets june-September).

M was also going to leave her bed and desk plus kitchen stuff for C as C has been living with a family since she arrived to the country in 2023 for school. Everything seemed was meant to be.

Yesterday night I got a text message from C saying she just didnt feel she could deal with moving out right now due to her mental health specifically her stress and anxiety. With graduation coming she just felt trapped and that she felt sorry but wasnt going to take the lease anymore plus the room that was going to be hers she didnt like it. I honestly felt i was fucked over.

The issue with the room is that it has no windows and the w/d machine is in there. My current place is honestly super small and i dont like the location but worked out due to how close to school it was. M and I just used to sleep so I get it. Thats why i was open to move out asap if C wanted but i was also ok staying until September. I know its not ideal but asked multiple times if she was ok and she assured me always yes.

The thing now is thar my roommate leaves on may 1st. The rent is over 2k and i cannot afford that. I moved out from another place to this and I have 7 years worth of stuff that I just cannot leave behind (i prefer to try and sell it). Moving out with all my stuff is over 500 dlls plus deposit and rent from any new place i find. It can easily get to 4k, money i dont have.

I am graduating in 10 days too…i am supposed to only think of my final project and makes me sad and mad my friend decided her mental health was more important than screwing me over. I was open to many different solutions but she never expressed any discomfort.

I am thinking of telling her to pay half of her rent as I dont think i have the mental capacity to try and find a place for may 1st. But people have told me it would be weird. Tbh i dont know. I am just tired. I dont even know if she is my friend. I do know she struggles with mental health and she seems genuinely apologetic but this is just…idk.
