Jesus,I didn't think anyone else experienced what I
went through,but you have! First,the light:Use thumb-tacks for the sides of cover your using. The
noise,I am like you,it drives me up the wall,but in
quiet flat now. You COULD move to private renting and council will pay rent through housing
benefit. It is imperative you get somewhere else to
live;it is having to bear this noise,and the resultant
sleep deprivation,that is making everything else
unbearable. God,I do feel for you,no one knows
what this is like unless they've experienced it.
I know you have used earplugs which don't cut it,
so maybe you could use my home made ones. Go
into any art store and ask for a 'putty rubber', then
go to 'Boots' and get their own make of wax plugs.
When you have these,take a small bit of rubber and
a small bit of waxplug and merge these together
using some heat from fire or cooker;go easy with
the wax,you only need enough to make the mix
pliable. Then try in ears for size. Once you get the
right fit for self,they are bloody good I tell you.
Do each ear individually,both ears won't be same.
Do inquire about housing benefit,then you can get
the hell out of there--I KNOW it is hard,and you
have experienced a lot of pain and misery,but you
MUST make this final effort for dear self.I dearly
hope this is of some help to you.
God Bless,
BLUEDOVE
