Two weekends in a row, some of my neighbors have complained to the local police department about my "making noise in my apartment." These same neighbors are the ones who abused me from 2002 to 2008. In 2008, I had a suicide attempt because of this. They would break into my apartment while I slept and proceed to haze me. One of these neighbors would abuse me while I was trying to take a shower. This same neighbor yanked my arm so severely behind my back while I was reaching there, that I have severe arthritis now due to the injury she inflicted back then. When I clean my apartment, my shoulder hurts to the point where I do cry out in this pain. Thus, the police call to my door. Last weekend, I was hospitalized with a major panic attack and what I believe to be angina because of the harassment they still protagonise me with. I also had a PTSD flashback while showering recently. I was shouting, crying, and evidently even made some "threatening" remarks. Once again the police were called. This time, I received a lease violation from the apartment management here for this incident. Despite explaining to the manager here that it was a PTSD flashback, she did not and refused to acknowledge it as a PTSD flashback. I have filed a case with the Disability Rights Network in my state. Because I told this manager I felt I was discriminated against, I have sent a letter of appeal to rescind this from my record. Currently, I am awaiting a meeting regarding this appeal. I don't really expect anything to change with the manager or the people who harassed me, and I expect all of this continue as it was before. It is difficult for me to move out because of financial constraints. My psychologists are away on other obligations for most of this month, so I haven't and will not see much of them anytime soon. My case manager can only do so much because of his schedule. So, here I sit, trying any means whatsoever to keep my cool and to keep sane through all of this.
