Holy shit I feel terrible, I go to law school and working in a part-time job and have to deal with a lot of work and stress and I just simply cannot take the extra tension this is putting on me. I feel like I'm gonna go insane too and just "break". I just started the first year and its super hard to find a room at this time of the year. The city (Aberdeen) is full, I can't look for another room and budget is tight. What the fuck can I do?

Sorry it's not related to steamgifts and gaming in general but I just had to tell someone.

I wanted to do a giveaway, I have a game key which I didn't use I just can't find it, as soon as I find it there'll be a giveaway sorry.

Really fucking sucks to feel like you don't have a safe haven OP, hang in there. Until you can get out of there, I'm sure you're already doing this, but try to limit interaction with your flatmates as much as possible. Try talking to your school, too. You may be surprised at what they can do for you.

I'm renting a private flat, not living in a campus (I couldn't afford that) I just moved to the city so I don't know anybody at all! (except a few guys/girls from parties, but like I talked to them two times) I'm starting to get desperate...

Do you have any friends in the City? I would put up a close friend for an extended period of time if he helped pay the rent.

Have them committed. Though, seriously, I don't have any good advice.

Keep looking for another room and ask your friends if they know of anything or if they'd be willing to go for an apartment together with you.

yeah I've been looking on gumtree, but budget is tight and most of the rooms are £150-200 above my budget.

What do they even do that is so upsetting? Do you leave your socks on the couch and dirty dishes in the bathroom or something to piss them off?

That's the most frightening. I'm a really clean person, always cleaning up after myself. I'm barely at home so I don't even use dishes that much. Whenever I can I avoid going home, and when I do I don't even want to come out of my room...

What is your part time job? Maybe you can swap this for something with a better salary and thus afford a better flat. One of my fellow students made quite a significant wealth by buying used cars, fixing them up and selling them for a profit all while he was studying. Also I knew some students who found a nice lodging at the houses of old people, where they could basically stay for free by just helping them with some chores.

I work 24 hours a week at Costa Coffee, it's a rubbish job but it pays the rent. I'm constantly trying to look for something better, but well Aberdeen isn't a big city and it's full of students.

Looks like your flatmates are asking for some anxyolitic in their milk. If they drink regularly, putting some in their booze scores you bonus points.

Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same fucking thing... over and over again expecting... shit to change... That. Is. Crazy. The first time somebody told me that, I dunno, I thought they were bullshitting me, so, boom, I shot him. The thing is... he was right. And then I started seeing, everywhere I looked, everywhere I looked all these fucking pricks, everywhere I looked, doing the exact same fucking thing... over and over and over and over again thinking, 'This time is gonna be different. No, no, no please... This time is gonna be different.' I'm sorry, I don't like... The way... you are looking at me... Okay, Do you have a fucking problem in your head, do you think I am bullshitting you, do you think I am lying? Fuck you! Okay? Fuck you!... It's okay, man. I'm gonna chill, hermano. I'm gonna chill... The thing is... Alright, the thing is I killed you once already... and it's not like I am fucking crazy. It's okay... It's like water under the bridge. Did I ever tell you the definition... of insanity?

Now, on a serious note. Most universities have some service to help students find lodging. Try to contact it.
Your university will also have a student support service if you want to talk out the toxins from those assholes.

I second this too. My university helped me find affordable lodging when I was new to the area and on a budget.

Good luck man, I know the feeling sometimes. It might not get better, but try to set some baselines. I know a lot of my problems come because I'm a bit of a pushover; if something really matters to you, impose it. If you're living through university arranged housing, contact the student services people. If not, you could try talking to someone at one of the offices if your roommates are being a problem and breaching part of a contract.

Mind telling us what they did?
Also, I hope it'll get better for you. If everything else fails, be a scumbag and become the pro prankster the flat deserves and needs right now.

It's quite easy to get rid of bullies.
Next time when they mess up with you, draw a knife, and look them in the eyes with a poker face.
That should settle them.

--- UNPOPULAR OPINION ---<

Honestly I think there are way bigger and more important issues in the world at the moment. I mean while kids are dying in third world countries or men butchered by the thousands for having a different religion (yes I'm looking at you ISIS) I just can't feel sorry for sb feeling uncomfortable in his apartment or not getting a big enough salary. People are unable to accept people of different skin-color and religion or provide equal rights to the opposing gender (still after thousands of years). How can you expect them to accept you then?

This world is utterly self-centered and existentialist. We care only about ourselves, our little world, our looks, our identity and our comfort.

I won't hate/judge or flame you, but won't support you either.
