Decompensation

[scott_1971_h]

I am having a period where, after a while of functioning pretty well, I seem to be going backwards.

My neighbours are nuts. They have, seemingly, a bottomless supply of children. they are knocking on the door at all hours of the day and night, sending the dog nuts, interrupting my sleep, as I write this I know I have to get out of here. They are interfering with the circuit breakers on my house, I know that the bird who was in this house before me used to complain that they were driving her insane and now I know how she was feeling.

Well that is today is little rant session. I have to get out of here. They are driving me insane as well.I am dissociating as I write this.

Seriously, has anyone else had instances where they have decompensated?

Thanks for listening/reading,

Scott

Have you tried talking to the parents or the kids? Tell them you would appreciate it if they didn't wake you up or disturb your sleep by coming over at inappropriate times. Try to be polite about it.

Yes, I've tried talking to the parents about the kids which ended up with me disliking the parents more than the kids. Apparently they have something of a reputation in the street, just my luck to be living right next to them...

Do you mean the kids are playing with the box? Might want to put a lock on it. That sounds infuriatingly frustrating.

I went through an epic year long period of decompensation about five years ago. Everything in my life and mind was ultimately reduced to whatever happened to be right in front of me. I didn't have the energy to think or care about anything beyond that narrow scope.

It is, in my understanding, extremely normal to decompensate as part of the process of healing and often follows on the heels of what had felt like progress or forward movement.

I hope things ease up.

I (think) it's the kids, although from what I've seen it could be the parents.

I got so sick of it I super-glued the damned thing shut. But my meter was read last week (they opened it) so now I have a webcam hanging off my front door so if they try it again I'll have it on video. Always useful :-D.

Well, I am pleased to say that I am going to be moving in 2 weeks :-) Haven't told the neighbours and wont they can be a head case for the next person here.
