I'm having a very difficult time this morning and am scared.
Have had this before, usually caused by difficult situations (neighbors) and have ended up in the ER from it...

We have lived in this house for just 6 months, next to a guy w/3 loud dogs... we didn't know it when we bought the house. This guy works nights and leaves them out. Several times we have approached him and said that his dogs bark all night long, keeping us awake.
With my intense anxiety, this is intensely magnified!!!
So 2 nights ago, at 1:30 a.m. we put a note on the guy's door, asking him to please put the dogs in at night.
Yesterday he came over, very threatening...... first accusing us of letting the air out of his (2nd car's) tires. NEVER would/did we do that!!! We went together, for protection from accusation for that purpose. Then he said we are to NEVER set another foot on his property or he will call the police. We won't!

BUT.... now my anxiety level is so severe!!!!!!!!!! I already was severely anxious, w/some sort of meltdown last week........ Today I feel SO SCARED!!! Threatened...

I don't know what to do. I have no insurance, I don't work due to severe fibromyalgia and my increasing bipolar symptoms... I'm not on meds but need to.

WHERE DO I GO TO GET FREE HELP???
I need help!!!!

I am guessing from your statement "I have no insurance" that you are in the USA? Being a Canadian, I would not be able to help you there, but, regarding your stress, I would advise calling a crisis line for your stress and anxiety or how to seek treatment for your needs. We have what we call Legal Aid here for people who cannot afford a lawyer's service and find out what your legal rights are regarding the neighbour's disturbances and accusations or threats. We usually find them under government services pages at the front of our phone book. In the mean time, try buying ear plugs. I wear them every time I sleep because I live next to our main city services building which has the city trucks and tractors going back and forth all day while I try to sleep. (I work night shift)

I hope you can find some answers (HUGS)

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. What awful neighbors. I understand your situtation about the insurance, since I don't have any either. There may be help through you county health agency. I don't really have any solutions for you but just wanted to let you know I care. Wishing well and solution soon.
