One of those nights

[PHX808]

I am looking for the good people of the world. My apartment neighbors are hell bent on battling each other with music at 3am to 8am so this insomniac has been up for days now. To boot my teeth hurt and my future is bleak with finances, worried up the shutdown with SNAP, and really old age being disabled. I want to remember the good in the world, human beings that respect each other. The alone in a cold world is getting me down, real down the spiral. Any positive and compassionate people out there with good thoughts to remind of humanity's amazing qualities?

hi you sound like a person who has done great things with life its crap when these kind of people spoil your peaceful world.my sons have ear defenders because of our neighbours music.

[PHX808 in reply to kenster1]

ear defenders? I actually use headphones and earplugs but the base goes right through it. My best efforts are too try and work with the noise some how but the insomnia gets me angry. Is this why Horror movies are popular lol

[kenster1 in reply to PHX808]

yeah they block out pretty much everything ive tried them and they seem to work.

[PHX808 in reply to kenster1]

so that is a brand ear defenders?

What are they? Can you sleep in them? My husband snores like a beast!

Call the police, where I live that is not allowed. They could be using drugs as well. Do you have a decent landlord?

[PHX808 in reply to Hidden]

I wish...One of landlords lives on the same floor it is very poor housing. In the past I never experienced anything like this. I fear we all fear retaliation of some kind. I become angry with landlords for letting it happen but move on to try a better mind state

[Hidden in reply to PHX808]

That awful, I’m sorry. Any chance you can move into a trailer park? At least rent your own trailer? There should be housing assistance for you if you are old enough to receive it. Maybe contact the local government to see what housing assistance is available. Insomnia is truly a nightmare. No one can live peacefully with loud music like that either.

I am working to try to find new housing thank you. But for right now just trying to cope. It is an impossible thing but I am looking to find ways to make feel better about where I am right now. I think if I had a constant replacement thought process that somehow worked in harmony. Last night I just banged on the wall, trying not to go there again tonight lol

Hi PHX, sorry to hear about your sleep deprivation...I like to still think of myself as a good samaritan, sounds like you as well. First of all, when you live in shared dwellings whether it be condos/apartments, called it what you may, that is the reality, the noise. I also am finding out painfully, that you hear your neighbors more often than you'd like to. I still remain vigilant about respecting noise levels, the privacy of others, but it doesn't seem to be reciprocated. The noise anyways, ppl that treat the hallways like a playground..Really? Kids running up and down screaming the corridor at the top of their lungs, and their feet stomping hard on the floor. Yeah, don't care how soundproof they say we are, (we're not here), you're gonna hear it anyways, at least to some degree..it sounds like uncertainty about the future is plaguing you immensely, we have a lot in common. Scared here..the only thing I can offer ya, is the same I offer myself. Remember that it's important to TRY and live in the moment, mindfulness, I can say it, but I can't do it, there's the paradox. If we worry the way we do, we may not even get to see the future, right? All of this does us no good in the end, we can 'try hard' to plan if we're able to, that's about it. Worry and anxiety wreaks havoc on our health. The past is history, the future is a mystery. Something I try to live by every day, especially lately because of very trying times, 'this too shall pass'. My father, God rest his soul, use to always recite this. Think about it, no, really think about it. These are fleeting thoughts that many of us have from time to time, there's the key, fleeting! High chances you won't be worrying about the finances in a few days, cause another worry will enter our mind and cause us to overthink once again. Easier said than done, this I know too well...Take care of yourself, I really wish you good sleep, peaceful days ahead.
