Inconsiderate, intimidating neighbors cause depression and anxiety?

Update: I woke up this morning and I had a life lesson kind of thought "There was definitely a lot more to this situation. In situations where people are trouble they usually have a history of it." In fact as you know I was able to find out about one of the men and it was scary. And that was only one of the men and only one story. Imagine what else these people had been involved with?

So if anyone reading this ever has a bad situation where someone is violating their rights in some way you may want to try to find out about that person's history. This not only can put things into the right perspective you can use the information to help stop the trouble. Generally, society dislikes people who continue bad behavior.

Yes

He uses bullying behaviour regarding my property line and inappropriate language towards me.

What I discovered, and my nightmare "neighbors" proved this, is that generally when certain behavior, like bullying, harassment, bad language, threats, etc., AND the neighbor has no respectability the problem will take time to stop, even if the best practices are used. (like contacting and reporting to Crimestoppers/police and if they are renting the property owner each time).

If the neighbor has any respectability, and the vast majority of people do, then all it takes is generally one police call and report to stop it.

This is why I indicated in another post that knowing the history of the problem neighbor can be very helpful. People who cause trouble to you usually have caused trouble to someone else.

Update: Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since the men left. I would say I still feel some anxiety leaving and coming back to the building. It seems to be unconscious, like I find myself tensing up and looking around without being aware that I am doing then "getting a grip" on myself with the thought "Wow. They are not here anymore. They will not appear.".

Still, I believe I will be completely over this in a short period of time. It is interesting how traumatic situations affect the the brain even after the traumatic situation has stopped. I was reading online some personal stories of others who had "neighbor from hell" and some of them said things like they went crazy an/or were damaged for life because it. I believe those stories.

I said in a previous post if anyone is experiencing something like this the best thing to do is to report it early one. Don't wait. Report anonymously or confidentially to the police AND property owner each and every time it happens. This is a very powerful solution as it allows the property owner (in rentals) to use the police reports to legally remove the trouble neighbor. Otherwise the situation can go on and on and on and can do all kinds of damage and trauma to you. You can do something about it! Don't let these kinds of people continuously violate your rights.

Update: It's a little over a month since the men left. It has been like a different apartment complex. So quiet and peaceful. I still get a little nervous coming back to the building and I wonder about any possible retaliation from the men or their "friends". That's probably not going to happen though.

BUT tonight I got very angry that I moved to this city to be near a very sick relative and gave up so much and for this living nightmare to happen to me! This was pure hell as I indicated in my previous postings. You know what I used to do after dinner where I used to live? I used to go for a walk along the sea wall at sunset and I usually came back after dark without a care in the world. There was like a near zero chance that someone would threaten me! I literally do not remember one instance of crime where I used to live. It's not all bad here, at least this side of town, but it just makes me so mad that this happened to me.

Thanks for listening. It feels good to vent. If I can help anyone I will tell them what I learned; At the first sign of trouble where you live don't wait to report it to the police AND landlord. You can do this and ask for anonymity. Do it immediately! Then each and every time it happens. You must report it to BOTH. They need to work together to eliminate the problem by legal means. Stay in close touch with them until the trouble has been permanently eliminated. Don't waste time thinking it will go away on it's own or that one report to the landlord will do it. It can but it might not and like my situation go on and on and on and on and on until it causes you mental and physical distress. Don't let this happen to you!

robertwills, thanks for the advice. And cheers to you for giving up the sea for the relative that needs your help.

Yes. They always were "there for me" for me at important times in my life. If I had to I would suffer again what I recently went through to be here but I wish my other extended family who live in the area would be respectful that I sacrificed nearly everything to be here and that what I went through here recently for months was traumatic. They don't care at all.

Anger is a normal emotion and response to a traumatic event..
You experienced a loss. I write this to you from a trauma informed lens.

Update: It's been about 5 weeks since the men left. I feel so much better now! I originally said it would take would take two or three weeks to get over it. It's taken a little more than that, I'm not completely fear-free but close. When I come back to the building I barely think about it but I do brace myself a little. If my anxiety was at 9 out 10 coming back to the building when the men were here, now it's at a 2!

I also talked to a neighbor about what happened. I probably shouldn't have said so much as I don't know who they are but they knew of the situation and they agreed with me that it was awful and a relief that it is over.
