Today, I moved in with my new dorm mate. I'm prone to very frequent panic attacks that can only be alleviated by cold air. My roommate is severely anemic, and has violent shivering fits when the temperature is below 80. No matter what, one of us is always shaking uncontrollably. FML

Chuffberry tells us more.

OP here. on the preference sheet for the dorm rooms, i put that i have anxiety attacks, and my roommate put that they have anemia, but they don't sort you on your illnesses, they sort you on personality. Other than the temperature thing, we get along great.

Cab you get a portable fan or air conditioner for your room?

So your roommate has violent fits when the temperature is below 80, and yet he/she goes to school in Colorado? Makes sense

Ever thought of requesting to change roommates? It could help you two to stop torturing each other, LOL

There's a sitcom idea in there, somewhere...

I think it would best for both of you to get new dorm mates.

I get super cold so always have lot of blankets. anyway, it's kinda snuggly and nice too. :3

at least you have someone to share your misery with

Cold air just happens to be the only thing that helps and if negatively affects your roommate. Uh-huh. And anemia is an actual medical ailment
