Inconsiderate, intimidating neighbors cause depression and anxiety?

Posted by robertwills @robertwills, Oct 26, 2024

Lets; say you have neighbors that sit outside your apartment building, smoke "weed" in public view (which is illegal) and use intimidating gestures towards you as you come and go. Could this be enough to cause legitimate depression and anxiety?

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.

Hi Robert,
It's so nice to hear that life is so much better for you now! And, you are calming down a lot and living without fear! That's great! Prayers do get answered!
