I’m a first year masters student. I’ve struggled with BPD majority of my life. This is the most stable ive in a long time… With i am proud about. I moved in with a group of girls near campus they are pretty chill for the most part lol. I’ve been seeing a therapist and psychiatrist for a few months to deal with my stress of my masters program and working full time. My psychiatrist said I would benefit from an emotional support animal to deal with my stress. So I decide I am interested in a cat because they are self sufficient. One of my roommates fine with it  and the other roommate hates cats I mean hates them… I tried to talk to her about her about it because of my mental health plan with my psychiatrist. I talked to her and she doesn’t want to hear my side ( I literally talked to her about it twice) . She says I am pressuring her and stressing her out.  Also I would never try to stress someone out.  I just want to take care of my mental health and put myself first. The last time we kinda of got into it because I felt she wasn’t understanding my side. I felt I should let her know my situation because she told me previously her last roommate brought an animal with out telling her and she felt disrespected. Thats why I told her because I didn’t want to disrespect her and wanted to be transparent. She hasn’t been in the apartment for a few day and I feel bad. Am I wrong for wanting an ESA and wanting to take care of  my  mental health ? Cause I feel bad for wanting to put myself first.. I am always trying to help others and give others advice and be there for them. But the moment I want to be there for myself its a problem. Any advice ( please be kind)?
