i havent been here in a long time and excuse my typing flaws but i just had carpal tunnel surgery yesterday and my hand is wrapped up and in pain. i have been dealing with a crazy situation its a long story and doesn't even sound true. believe me i have never seen a situation quite like this. i rent an apartment with my bf and our landlord his wife and preteen daughter lives upstairs. The daughter has serious mental health issues. I don't know exactly whats wrong but i can hear what goes on and they can hear everything that goes on in our place even more. there is no insulation. Its so long and im in pain and aggravated but the daughter follows me around and she has to always be right above me whereever i am in the house. Even the bathroom. She will stand there while i'm in there just quiet or sometimes she will tap or she'll bang loudly i guess it depends on her mood. She makes noise every morning directly over my side of bed loud banging or stomping or it sounds like she is dropping something heavy over and over. It can be 6:00 and when she is up she starts. Usually she starts lightly tapping or dropping it sounds like marbles but if i don't move around or react she gets louder and louder until she has like a tantrum. This is a daily ritual. She will eventually leave but she keeps coming back in and she will stand and listens quietly and she'll go and keep coming in like shes checking on something or she goes to where there is a squeaky part of floor and walk back and forth. I'm on disability thank god because i dont sleep well as it is and she does this daily. I do wear earplugs and i announced it and said thank god for these earplugs and i also put my headphones on over earplugs now every day when she hears me fiddle around to put my gear on thats when she has the tantrum. Pls dont ask how she knows its me and not my bf because i went thru that with my bf and therapist who just started beleiving me after over a year complaining. She knows my routine by now she knows where i sleep and her room is over ours. So i have peace until after school unless they dont send her or they end up getting her early. then soon as she gets in she starts the noise and the following. And dont let me turn the tv off and try to nap, she starts stomping and banging and hollering. So you ask what about her parents? This started i think because i told them about it once and they must have said something and from then on she started to do it more and concentrated on me. So shes just a brat? Yeah but now it seems to be an obsession. If she comes in and its quiet and im laying down and she doesn't hear me moving and can't determine where i am she flips out. I found this out once when i was in the kitchen sitting trying to hide and have peace and she went from room to room stamping and banging and raging like she was out of control. They took her out and came back later where she promptly found me on my bed i had the tv on and she parked herself over me and started happily tapping on the floor. I kid you not. So today i tried to show my bf how i am like her obsession now like she can't function it seems unless i'm around to bother like its a routine now. Plus she has conversations with it sounds to me like imaginary people. No one is up there talking back. There is a bunch of other odd behaviors and hyperactive symptoms too and shes always been hyper and noisy and rude but the talking to herself or others is new. My bf grew up in a family that had secrets so he thinks we should stay out of it. There is so much more going on like the mothers denial and dislike of me and they are from another country where culturally i dont think they deal well with mental illness so i think they are embarrassed and i think they may have refused to get her help because they keep her home alot and try to keep her quiet so i wont know. they listen to everything we say so worried about what we are thinking. I have talked loudly about them needing to get her help and that just made the mother mad. We dont speak . The father says hi like everything is normal.
