... to seek advice on my crazy neighbour.
Now before you get all judgemental on me, I have been calling my neighbour crazy not really knowing how crazy she really is. I just found out tonight she is schizophrenic. I am all for being open minded and not discriminating but she is making my life a living hell. Home is where you should be able to go to relax, unwind and release yourself from all your problems, but more often than not my home is far from that. Her behaviour is driving me to the edge of insanity. Tonight for four hours I had to endure incredible and unrelenting amounts of noise from my neighbour next door. Banging, crashing, thumping... noises causing the walls to shake. All coming from a skinny old lady in the neighbourhood or 90lbs. Her behaviour tonight was so irrational, I find it hard to believe someone so weak could generate such a racket. I called my landlord and left two messages. My landlords never return my calls ever. I threatened to call the police.. but instead I went to the station. The police officer instructed me to call 911. Seems so drastic... but he said he would 'be at perfect ease to call 911'. I guess an officer would come by and give her a warning all the while assessing her state of mind. If they found she was unable to comprehend their instruction they would call an ambulence and appropriate action would be taken. This all seems so extreme but I am at the end of my rope and am on the brink of insanity myself. I feel like my only option is to move, but I refuse to move! I love my little aprt., my neighbourhood and everything. Why should some crazy old lady make my life so miserable? She should be in a home, being taken care of with the proper supervision someone with her condition needs. Call me evil, incompassionate whatever... but 5 months of this craziness is all that I can take. At the moment she is quiet. Four hours of 'trashing' your aprt. I can only imagine would cause exhaustion. I don't know what to do. I guess I will keep harassing my landlords and try to solve this rationally... but if they continue to not give a damn... I guess I will have to get the police involved and determine the fate of the situation. I just want peace, quiet and a little tranquility when I come home from a long days work. Silence when I put my head to my pillow... uninterupted sleep. I can not endure another night of incessant noise coming from her direction. What would you do??
I lost it. Yelled back, banged back, retaliated with music. Then found out her condition... and got scared.......... I suppose that is my confession.
