Please help (I’m losing my mind)

Salaam everyone. I moved into my dorm around a year ago and met my new roommates. The older one wasn’t exactly warm at first, but the other was okay. Time passed, we got a fourth roommate, and things were fine-actually, good for a while. I became really close to the older one. She was into, like, peer stuff a lot, but she was super practicing, like very very religious Alhamdulillah. Then a few weeks later, I got super tight with the fourth roommate. The older one was just too controlling-she’d make jokes that put you down, always criticize, say we were wrong for watching English shows, and so much more. She honestly acted like she had a God complex. After winter break, everything exploded. She was upset I told the younger roommate when I got back and went to grab lunch with her. I even took her outside to apologize and things seemed okay, but the next day I barely talked because I was tired. That was it for her-she started pretending I didn’t exist. I didn’t care much since I was already battling horrible homesickness. Here’s where it gets wild. A few days later, our second roommate-the one who lived with her before me and my friend got here-found her clothes sliced. Not torn, but cut clean, like someone took scissors and made a slit. Then it happened to another shirt. By then, they were sure it was either me or my friend. She started saying bad duas without naming anyone, screaming at us, even getting mad we cleaned the bathroom without asking her first. She was losing it. None of us knew who was doing it. Then her charger got cut. Again, scissors. My younger roommate’s iron stopped working, so we took it to a repair shop-they were baffled why it died. We left for holidays and just came back three days ago. We locked the door when we left, but came in to find her charger in pieces. And every single night, exactly at 10:30, there’s a knock on the door. We open it-no one’s there. I’m not kidding, I feel like I’m going insane. Is there any logical explanation for this or could it be something like a jinn? There’s so much more, but my mind is a mess right now. I’ll share the next part when I calm down.

The scissors part is what gives me chills, not gonna lie. But honestly, check if there’s a draft or a pipe making the knocking sound at that exact time; old dorms can be wild. The cut clothes might just be that older roommate acting out for attention. Still, make your adhkar and don’t be alone if you’re scared.

It sounds like a mental health crisis, not a jinn, and that older girl needs serious help. Bad duas and paranoia about cleaning a bathroom are not normal practicing behavior. Don’t internalize her accusations. Stick with the friends who make you feel safe, and keep your own spiritual practices strong to block out her negativity.

Sis, start reciting Ayatul Kursi and the three Quls every single night, especially with that knock at 10:30. Also play Surah Baqarah audibly in your room sometimes. If the hardship persists, seek refuge only in Allah and see if an imam can advise. Don’t let fear overtake your heart.
