Driven out of apartment by neighbors

I'm so sorry to hear about al your problems. I know I live in a different country, but in England, the environmental health people can come and do the observations for you for what's called a noise abatement order. If they find that for example, they play the stereo late at night and have wild parties, they can take court action on your behalf. What's the law in your state? In the same way that there are laws on jaywalking or littering or whatever, does America have laws on what decibel levels are legal? Apologies if this is a stupid idea. I'm just trying to help. I'm praying for you.

Hi Little Cat! Thank you. Yes, I think there are rules based on decibel levels. This is an old building and there's very little insulation for sound. It would be wonderful if the police could hear what's going on here.

I went to the back room a few minutes ago to call in my prescriptions at the pharmacy. I don't think I heard the trigger at all from in there because the janitor or someone is working in the apartment right next to the back room. They could easily be heard if they went in back.

It is an idea to spend more time in there but there's very little space due to all the stuff in there. But in here, the front room, it's just sickening.

Thank you for posting. Maybe I could ask the police again if they'd come here, if I get the best recording after I get up tomorrow. If they could hear it for themselves maybe there's something they could do, or tell me to do. Still worried about being taken inpatient, though, for a variety of reasons.

Just on that note, there's decibel readers you can get online.

I saw a UK program about terrible neighbours years ago and after reporting to the police they took matters into their own hands and... murdered every last one of them... sorry. I blacked out. No... they bought a decibel reader and recorded the findings. This was sufficient evidence for the police to make their own investigation, it could be something to get the ball rolling instead of them thinking you're just bat shite insane. hugs

Thanks, I like that black out! I agree, it would be good if the police heard what's going on here and I shouldn't be so worried about bad results from that.

They are hardly playing music at all now, since before the ambush on January 2 or 3. I wish they would. And stop with the trigger. I want to get a nice shorter recording with all of them doing it at once. I don't want to show police a long recording. They won't have the time to listen to it. If I can get them all recorded in a nice 5 or 10 minute recording, that's a lot better.

What's the trigger?

I can't say, online, for privacy's sake.

Oh ok, well look, I'm all for taking action so my advice is to get a decibel reader. I saw it on TV, it must be affective.

I'm so sick of this. They're keeping it up, and keeping it up, and keeping it up. My strength for not reacting ebbs a lot more because I'm so tired. But I don't think I can sleep - I'm too sick from the constant triggers. Don't know if they'll stop when I'm trying to go to sleep. They seemed to the past few days.

And then they start it immediately after I wake up. This is so similar to what I thought the man (who didn't exist) was doing. Now it's happening for real. I don't know what's going to happen. I have the recordings as proof. I'm afraid to move again, but I'll have to very soon. I feel like limp spaghetti. Very helpless.

I need to find buildings with 55 and older tenants. These places I've been living in always turn out to be hell. I hate for these scumbags to win, but I can't take this anymore.

I have a pdoc appointment on Thursday so it might crowd my day too much to call the police over tomorrow. I have to get ready for Thursday tomorrow. But if I get a good, short recording of them, that will help a lot. The only thing that will happen, though, is maybe that I registered an harassment complaint against these scum. I'm not sure how that works. But I feel too weak for having the police over. My meds and illness confuse me a lot and I have to be able to think and communicate with good mental organization.

They're keeping it up but there's slightly less of it today. I feel very sick and exhausted.

I have Parkinson's, I think. Terrible tremors in my hands and arms. I don't know what to do about it.

Tomorrow is my pdoc appointment and I'm thinking I'd better not talk about this crap that's going on because it sounds like I'm delusional. But I do have plenty of recordings.

Frankly, this exhaustion, mixed with a new loss of interest for food, I'm hoping could be cancer. Just let it be and let me off this rock already.

:sad hug: I think the exhaustion and loss of interest in food could be directly related to the stress. I know when I'm stressed I stop eating.

Yes, valley, that is probably it. I cooked a bowl of pasta because when I got on my feet I was almost fainting and I could barely walk. Very dizzy and tired.

I hope you find out about your chart, I just read Roll Call. I hope everything works out well.

They are still going strong. I took my pasta into the back room to eat but they all followed me in there up and down. No one is working in that adjoining apartment today. I feel so sick from the constant triggering. I don't know if I can get to the pdoc tomorrow. I can't tell him any of this. Even if I bring recordings he'll probably throw an innocuous motive to it which isn't the case at all. Like whoever answered the phone yesterday at the police.

Antipsychotics can cause Parkinsonism. Unlike Parkinson's, it's not permanent since it's caused by the medication.

You should definitely follow up about it ASAP, but you have an appointment with your p-doc tomorrow don't you?

Although having said that, if you aren't eating properly it could be that too maybe.

Yes, that's what I was thinking, that it's due to the meds. Cogentin actually make it a lot worse. Got worse immediately after starting it. But it helps my anxiety, so I've been taking it still. Maybe I'll quit it, I don't know.

Yes, I do have a pdoc appointment tomorrow but I don't want to go because I'm so weak and dizzy. Plus I'm afraid I'll feel much worse if I go. But, I could ask for increasing my doze of Abilify. The pos here won't stop torturing me, but maybe I'll care less. Enough to see me through until I can move, or an act of God stops them.

Definitely go to your appointment tomorrow, I think because of the situation you are in it's very important you touch base with someone with regards to how triggering what is happening to you is.

It's very strange that Cogentin would make it worse, because that's one of the things it is meant to treat.

Whatever is going on though, you need to tell your p-doc. You will probably have to reduce or change meds assuming it is caused by your AP.

Anxiety can cause tremors too I think...

If I tell him about the triggering here, he will definitely want me to take more/extra/additional ap. :/

If won't help my situation but last time I started on Abilify I was just hoping it would make me care less about the stalker. I'm feeling that way again but afraid to increase of add ap.

Yes, I think you're right about the anxiety too. That's the only thing Cogentin is helping, weirdly.

I wish they had jobs to go to and stop torturing me around the clock. I hate their entrails. Won't say guts because as jackals attacking in a pack, they don't have actual guts. One on one this never would have happened.

ETA: Maybe the Cogentin is weird in my system because my brain changed so much due to 30 years of benzodiazepene use?

The two females are extremely ecstatic with triggering me. As if someone showed them a whole new way to orgasm.

I'm hoping things I cant talk about are in their near future.

The male was sawing the wall yesterday. I'm wondering if he installed a microphone because the downstairs female sounds like she's coming from the window sill. Maybe just a hole. But what could she be standing on to trigger me from their ceiling?

So, now I know what he was doing with the saw, made some kind of hole that they can trigger me through quietly, so people don't hear them. They must be using some sort of microphone because the downstairs female was using it a lot a couple of hours ago.

This is so disgusting and horrible. It doesn't help that it is so similar to the psychosis I had. And I'm very sure this isn't psychosis.

I'm very afraid he's also trying to get a camera in here. All that crap they were saying under my window about making a video/movie and "pillows". They intend to video me in my bed trying to sleep with them triggering me non stop. I don't even know how it's physically possible for these pos to do it constantly. I feel sick. I can't have them video me! What am I going to do?

I called the landlord and told him. I just pray he finds the courage to evict these pos!

Maybe I could call the police and tell them?

This sounds very much like psychosis...how can you be sure it's not? I really hope you discuss this with your pdoc and can get some relief.....

I know, it sounds like the psychosis I had. I guess life just has a twisted sense of humor. You would not believe what's going on here. Oh - that's right, you already don't.

I have plans to go tomorrow although I'm scared to leave here and find out what else he's done. I might not be able to get back in.

I can't believe that in this world, surrounded by beautiful stars, there can exist people so evil and vile.

To be fair last week you thought they were out to kill you....now I'm glad that didn't happen but obviously you weren't right about that. I don't think you're any more right about this. You say it's just like your psychosis well there may be a reason for that if it is psychosis.

For me the two episodes I had were entirely different. One I had full voices and visuals that were indistinguishable from reality, the other I just had knocking and music. A single episode of the same style of psychosis no matter how long lasting doesn't indicate what can happen in the future.

That's a good point! I didn't mean to sound sarcastic, just, I'm frustrated.

I know I did flip out about their killing me; it still might happen. They are escalating.

The hole in the wall is allowing her to be much more quiet and I'm wondering if anyone else said something, to them or the landlord. I don't know. All I know is this is really happening.

And everytime the landlord tells them to stop what they're doing, they come back with something even worse.

That one downstairs is doing this constantly with almost no pauses. It's just bizarre and symptomatic of extreme hatred of me and/or being power mad. Or maybe she's too stupid to stop?

I don't know how I'll sleep now. I've been falling asleep with music playing on my phone but then my phone battery totally dies overnight which isn't good for it. Maybe I'll have to take tizanidine, it knocks me out.

why not tell your pdoc and try an increase in the AP?? whats the harm?? if it is psychosis, then youll know and you will get relief. if its not then you will know for sure that it is your neighbors and you can call the appropriate people like your landlord and/or the police. if there was a possibility of relief from this, which just reading what you are describing is exhausting, wouldnt you want to take it?? i know you are pretty adamant about it NOT being psychosis. so maybe that is holding you back. but what if IT IS? can you even consider that for a few minutes?? if it is psychosis, there is a solution and it could be stopped and im sure you would feel much more at ease. im not trying to tell you what to do, what's right or wrong, psychosis or not. i just think there are other options than sitting on your bed suffering and being miserable about all of this w/o any appropriate action being taken.

Thank you, junkDNA. That's what I thought I'll do if I can get there today. I'm planning on getting there! Yes, last night I was wondering if it really is psychosis. I'm pretty sure it's real, and I do have the recordings that indicate it's real.

The female upstairs has stopped triggering me constantly and only does it sporadically. I'm wondering if anyone living in the unit across from hers said something to her.

The female downstairs is still triggering me constantly but she's being as quiet as possible.

The male downstairs triggers me sporadically, but sawed something up by his ceiling.
