Inconsiderate, intimidating neighbors cause depression and anxiety?

Update: The men are still here. I have rearranged my schedule until they are gone. Still, coming back to the building creates anxiety, even when I'm out and miles away. I'm doing something, like shopping at the grocery store, and then it crosses my mind "I have to go back there!". I tripped and almost fell a couple of as I have gotten close to the building because I need to keep looking all around and the fear makes me a bit clumsy. This is awful.

I haven't dared to go to the laundry room for weeks because I had seen some of the men in there and they weren't doing laundry; just messing around. I remember years ago someone I know, who lives in another state, told me they also lived in a nice building and the city allowed people from very tough city neighborhoods to move in, No problem with that, I want to help people get away from bad situations, except I was I told by the person I know that some of these people have absolutely no consideration or kindness at all and had threatened them while doing laundry. So they no longer felt safe doing laundry in their building. I thought "How unfortunate, this happening to such a good person. I can't imagine that." Well, now not only can I imagine it I'm living it and more. At least they had a 24 hour doorman at their building.

I think I can hold out without doing laundry until February 1. The men should be gone by then. If not, well, I don't think that will be the case, but if so then I have other actions I can take and take them I will. These are supplemental actions to the main formula that has been used that is expected to be successful at any day now. I will also post these supplemental actions when this is all over.

I have not heard anything from the landlord recently. I may call them soon and try to get some information. I don't expect any details but at least the assurance again that this bad dream will be ending soon.

Update: I now have a fear of groups of men in public. I never had this before in my life! Today I was out and I saw a group of about 6 men walking on the same sidewalk coming towards me about 200 feet away. I quickly walked across the street, to my detriment, to the other sidewalk. I think they were a bit surprised and sensed my fear. These were probably regular good guys, like almost all are. But now all groups of men that I do not know scare me! I am living in a type of hell now. Soon it will be over though.

I have commented before. I cannot diagnose but I am worried you may have PTSD. Can you tell me more about why this situation in your apt bldg will be resolved soon?

Thank you for your concern. The landlord told me it will be resolved soon. The men will no longer be here.

I think I will go back to my usual self within a couple of weeks of this ending but I am sure I will be more aware of my surrounding from now on, which is a good thing. If I don't go back to my usual self I will deal with that at that time.

Thank you again for your concern. It's comforting to know that others care.
