Stressed, worried that neighbour will be noisy again

Hope

The neighbour was really noisy last night (see other thread). I am worried there will be a repeat, and it is making me stressed, as if I were not stressed enough.

How can I reassure myself? The thing is, that uncontrollable noise makes me stressed. If I can control the noise, it is fine. If I know when it will start and finish, it is bearable. But if it can't be controlled, or it occurs at  an unacceptable  time, I get stressed.

  • Hi Hope,

    Not sure if I have much advice but just to say I have serious problems with noise from neighbours. I really want to move house. Am using ear plugs, defenders, isolation headphones and plugs at different times to try and manage it. Even if the noise was 'reasonable' I would struggle. The intrusion takes over and I feel v anxious and stressed. I feel very vulnerable and scared by the noise. Talking to the seems impossible. I jujst don't think they know how noise travels and as i am pretty quiet I guess they don't hear me.

    I get the uncontrolable aspect. Thats why I feel reassured (a little) by being able to use plugs etc....I hate wearing them though.....

    The only real soultion is for me to move somewhere quiet. (a long term plan that won't be easy and seems impossible and overwhelming). Is that an option for you Hope?

    Good luck
