Can you not go through the same company to shift to anther place? It’s would almost be covered under emergency housing so would cut the waiting list. Rent would be the same and you would have the yes or no say in if you wanted to stay at any house they show you. .
Yeah, I know you have a sense of humor. Have a good night.
Good suggestion. My step-mom said almost that exact same thing a year ago.

Nick , you have no detail in your OP. What kind of comments did you expect? Anyway you have posted a bit on your neighbours , and it sounds delusional. Here you said they were ‘concentrating’ on you , that seems more of the same nick.
Someone needs to call the cops. Threats against the life of an elderly woman should not be ignored.

Try to avoid people that are haters. Stay more to yourself. Avoid conflict by improving yourself read books that are self help to change your thought and behavior so you become the warrior with courage and strength. Therapy is very important. Go to your housing authority to get help on these matters. Try to stay where you are because who knows if this will happen again. Ask yourself why is this happening. Find a group class that can help with dealing with neighbors. I hope things get better for you. Talk to your manager in person and a letter on what is going on. Make sure you read the rules on renting.
I don’t think you’re stupid, Nick. I think you live in relative poverty, however. I live in relative poverty myself. People from other worlds have little idea.
Sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don’t know.
My neighbors are loud, drug abusing, partying folks. I live in constant exposure to violence or accident. For me it is Okay because I don’t have better options.

Your elderly neighbor is not “trying to destroy” you. You are paranoid. Get help before you hurt someone (as you’ve suggested). The way you are thinking is not safe.

The way I see this difficulty, Nick, is as follows:
You’re having some of your paranoia break through. It is tough from my vantage point to tell how much is your neighbors are awful and how much your fears are awful; it is probably some of both, I figure.
I live on Section 8 Housing. The best bang for my buck on Section 8 Housing is in the awful part of town. I didn’t grow up in a neighorhood like this one! As my brother might say, “If you’re not paranoid, you’re not paying attention.”
Could you get better treatment for your schizophrenia? Yes, you could, but it is not likely that society wants to give you optimal treatment. Generally, society sees it as cost effective to be awful to the mentally ill. You may quote me.

@77nick77 this is getting old.
Get the help you desperately need.
The situation is getting dangerous, someone could end up hurt.
No one is trying to destroy you, it’s all in your head!

someone told me that if you have a problem with life , work, a certain person or persons…you make the greatest effort to change the situation.
but if the situation…circumstances cannot change then it is time to leave…
personally if you have tried your hardest to change things…then i would leave and go somewhere else to live.
i had the neighbours from hell, eventually we left…and found a beautiful place.
i totally believe you and have great sympathy for you.
know someone cares.
take care

Have you tried talking to them about it yet?
I know where you’re coming from Nick. Whether we like it or not we’re living with little means, as @Jayster pointed out. Don’t fall into their trap. Remain civil. I know it’s hard to keep composure when people act a certain way but you can do it. Show them who’s the bigger person. It’s not being weak or being feeble, it’s placing your faith in Divine Justice.
I know cuz I have my own issues with my neighbor, this morning I crossed his path in the stairway and he told me that just me turning on the water in the shower makes a screeching noise that annoys him when he’s getting ready for work. I sometimes take a shower at 5 am but now I will avoid doing so. He always has something to complain about and usually uses a tone I don’t really like to address me. There is something to be gained from dealing with these people, more compassion, more understanding, don’t feel like you’re being stepped on, even if that’s the case…
You must realize that other people have to work or live with the same persons you feel are victimizing you. Someone else will put them in their place. Avoid trouble at all costs, it will be better for you in the long run!
I learned that he is probably leaving this year but giving his apartment to a friend of his, we’ll see how that pans out!
