All right, so last night, I had a mood swing. I know what the likely cause of it was, so it's nothing too serious, but basically what happened was that I was sitting in my apartment all alone. My roommate wasn't back from wherever she went to, and no one was online. I all of a sudden just got real depressed, feeling like I was going to cry, and felt just plain devastated. I wanted someone to talk to. Since my roommate wasn't there at the time, and no one was online, I called my mom.
We talked for a bit, and I eventually calmed down a little. Once I got off the phone with her, I noticed my phone was dying, so I went and plugged it in to charge it.
Later on, I checked my phone to see if it was done charging and found that I had 3 new voicemails and 3 missed calls. All from my mom. I called her back to see what she wanted, and she started freaking out on me, telling me that when I didn't answer the phone, she thought I up and committed suicide or something.
This is where the embarrassing part comes in. When I didn't answer the phone, she actually CALLED MY SCHOOL'S CAMPUS SECURITY and told them that I called her up depressed, and that I wouldn't answer the phone after that! So they actually sent a campus officer and a resident assistant to my building ALL BECAUSE OF MY MOM'S PARANOIA! It doesn't help that she even told them the wrong room number, and I got a call from them asking what my actual room number was!
So I had to firmly assure the campus officer and RA that everything was fine and that my mom was just being paranoid like always. It was all such a pain in the ass. Luckily there wasn't hardly anyone around when I was being questioned.
The only thing I'm worried about is that my roommate kinda got caught in the middle of it all, and I ended up having to explain to her the whole situation and why there was a campus police officer and an RA knocking on our door. I'm worried that she might think I'm a bit of a weirdo now and that my mom is nuts, even though that's probably just my mind running wild. . .
Does anyone have any advice for getting over this embarrassing and humiliating feeling I keep having from this situation?
