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

Put in a request for a new roommate based on medical reasons

Sounds like the perfect setup for an improv sketch!

lithium and glycine helps with any kind of attack, whether its panic attacks or anxiety attacks..

Any kind? How about heart attacks? Counter attacks? Attack stats? Attack... oh, no, I'm done.

Stop being a little bitch with your panic attacks.

You need medication and therapy if your panic attacks are that frequent.

You can go calm down outside....

Get a heating blanket for your dorm mate! I'm anemic and it's been a lifesaver
