Feeling very stressed

[catsrock]

This morning I came out and someone had dumped a large plastic bin of crap they were obviously throwing out, but didn't just dump it in our driveway but had walked around to the front of our car that's parked in the driveway and dumped it between the car and a back gate, so you couldn't see it from the street. Also, the homeless problem on the side of the commercial building across the streets from us is bad. One guy has been out there for several days and he is hacking and has coughed up a pile of I don't know what. I contacted the police to come out and do a welfare check on him in case he needs medical care, but nothing changed. I don't know what to do to help these people as I offered to take the man to the hospital, but he turned me down and there's a constant issue with trash from people camping out there and often disturbances with yelling or someone having some kind of mental health crisis. I've tried to find help - including contacting the owners of the building and nonprofit organizations - but haven't had much luck. I'm strongly considering moving out of the Bay Area because I find these situations so upsetting. It's led me to tears many times. Also, I have perfectionist relatives coming to visit next week and I'm very stressed about getting the house ready and about their judgment about these issues in my neighborhood.

Sorry you have so much stress going on. But just keep doing the best you can. And don't worry about what your relatives think because YOU ARE doing the best you can.

Thank you so much!

Yikes. That would be rough for anyone to see that going on right where they live.

Yep - thank you. The hacking guy is still out there this morning.

I am trying to be more open when talking about stressful situations there is a bug infestation where I live and we recently got a new landlord which was okay then they decided to increase our rent and a few weeks ago I was up early morning hours and my lights went off 3 times only for me to look and find that a person that either lives in my building or someone from outside came in and was messing with the power in the attic specifically to my apartment mind you I don’t ever have house guest and I don’t know any of the people here personally besides my daughter and she was not here i besides depression and anxiety have sciatica so I was barely able to walk that morning or I’d probably have a mug shot from that day and I’ve had things come up missing out of my room specially multiple times in all of this on random occasions when I first moved here someone was tampering with my vehicle outside so I know all too well but different circumstances but just a lot of weird and crazy things I stay to myself and my my own business because I have enough to deal with I had just joined the community a week prior to that becaoof my depression and a really bad suicidal episode I had so I know I hope things get better
