Dear laura:

I am so sorry. I know this neighbor-from-hell problem only too well. Last apartment I was in, a tenant moved in downstairs a few months after I did. She was awake every night, all night long, using the water, a vacuum cleaner! on and on all night long. A few hours in the morning, she slept and then she was up slamming doors like a mad woman. I sincerely did not know if I will survive that neighbor from hell. I thought I will die in a car accident as a result of lack of sleep and I was worried I will physically harm her and end up in prison.

I talked to her. At one time I tried to scare her but I was no match to her. Eventually I moved out, as quickly as possible, before even having a bed to sleep in the new place. Once I moved out, after a few months of this, it took me a long time to figure out if I really survived the experience…

I survived it and am here to tell about it. I have no advice how to endure this other than Stay Alive until you move out!
