Inconsiderate, intimidating neighbors cause depression and anxiety?

What's really bad is the fact that I have to go out and then come back to my apartment. I never know if they will be hanging out smoking near the entrance where I have to walk into so I get anxiety about a half mile from the building before I return and I brace myself for a possible altercation. These people have at times been shouting in rage, I mean real rage and that's very concerning to me along with their other behaviors. This can happen any time, like on a bright, sunny afternoon in public or at 3 am. Other residents have heard it, too. I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world who is experiencing a similar situation but for the first time in my life I've asked the question "Why is this happening to me?".
I am so fortunate I grew up in the neighborhood I did. It was so safe and peaceful. In fact I had a dream recently where I was back there and I was talking with some of the current neighbors, telling them that I used to live there years ago, and everyone was so friendly and nice. Then I got to my old house and saw lights on. I knew I couldn't go back in and the sadness I felt was the worst I have ever had in a dream. I was actually crying in the dream. Definitely a representation of what's going on in my present, real life.

And I completely understand that calling the police brings up fears of worse retribution as it will be assumed it was you.
Intimidating seems to be the way of ego driven people. Like its acceptable. They have the right to trample on your rights. Theirs matter, yours don't.
I actually did imagine it was a tougher area of town. My own privilege showing.
We had this growing up for a while. But my parents still went out dancing nightly and left my younger sister alone with them terrorizing her. 14 years old hiding behind ths couch for hours. I was in nursing school by then and had no idea till we were in our 50s? But esp when our mom died. So many hidden feelings came out for us all, but I was esp touched by my "baby sisters" story. The other 2 of us had no idea.
Our parents are gone and we are late 60s. She still holds animosity to them back to then.
More to it of course, parents putting their own lives ahead of us kids etc.
I'm so sorry tho if that helps at all. I'm a lifetime "depressant". Because of a life changing nursing injury at 23. Just unexpected changes in our lives we never imagined.
Why doe the innocent party gets linished? You hsve to pack and and bear the expense of moving. Huge depression. Whatever you Feel is VALID!
Eventually my mom was scared of them too. Drinking, drugging, "peeling out" thru our front yard at 3am. (Can you tell my generation? Peeling out? Lol)
Small peaceful town in the 60s/70s. When they sold, my parents bought that house. My sister was married by then and my parents were home more at night. Esp mom alone sometimes
Its horrible and I feel for you. I know my sister would esp. I think those years of alone fear affected her life. Of course yes, anxiety, depression - anger gets to be tbe hardest thing to feel after a while.
Whatever you Feel is VALID! Time for a drs note to the landlord. Or police. Except now that makes us look crazy!
