How to handle shared expenses when roommates have different mental health spending priorities

My roommate and I split all our expenses but they've been spending money on expensive supplements and alternative treatments for their anxiety while I'm struggling to afford basic therapy, and I'm starting to feel resentful about subsidizing their lifestyle while I can barely manage my own mental health costs.
