Hi there.
I'm 21 and I identify as female. I live in a small apartment with my boyfriend and our dog.
I have past history in my teens / childhood that has lead to trauma and I have been diagnosed with cptsd and bpd (this was a few years ago).
The problem is that I am very hyperventilate. Which causes issues living in an apartment. The neighbors that live below me are extremely loud at all times of the day and night, and I'm not sure what to do. But I'm definitely fed up with it. It is causing me to relapse and its really affecting my mental health. The neighbors will slam their doors so loud, I can feel the vibration in my bedroom. They talk outside a lot and their voices are so loud, I can hear them at all parts of my apartment. Every room. Every area. They are constantly slamming doors and yelling, and chatting. I feel like I'm on edge everyday and its taking a toll on me. It gets to the point to where I have to cover my ears and go in a room and "hide" because I'm scared someone is going to "come for me". Lately I've been trying to keep the blinds closed and I've been trying to turn the TV on during the day to help. But some days they're louder than my TV. I really don't know what to do, but I'm running out of options. It seems like I can't relax and I can't ever fully just...exist. all I can say is that I'm exhausted mentally from this. Any ideas on what to do? My family member has suggested buying a wave noise machine, while others tell me to put in a noise complaint.
