I started the mental health thread in one of my suicidal moments, so I don’t need you to tell me what I don’t need telling. Theres a world of difference in helping people through their issues and NOT discussing an anonymous neighbour who both confuses and scares me. Im as supportive as anyone and have probably gone above and beyond what could be reasonably expected from a “distressed neighbour”. Including emergency services, social services, housing association, three local charities, and knocking on her door to ask what help she needs. For ten years, this neighbour has been on meds, then taken off them, had issues, put back on meds, then taken off.... and repeat. Until February. I sincerely hope you’re not implying that my discussing this issue on this trusted forum is akin to me mocking, taking pleasure or finding amusement in her situation. I doubt you are, I think I know your character better, so I apologise if I’ve misinterpreted your post. I’ve only had two hours sleep. I have no issue with you discussing it. None whatsoever. I just stated that putting the recording of the noises on a public forum wasn't appropriate. I think with the current Covid situation we are all getting tetchy, me included, as can be witnessed by the toxicity of the forum in general in recent times. Peace and Love. I'm going to Peace off for a few days and come back on Saturday to collect all those 9 out of 10 ratings. Mostyn6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started the mental health thread in one of my suicidal moments, so I don’t need you to tell me what I don’t need telling. Theres a world of difference in helping people through their issues and NOT discussing an anonymous neighbour who both confuses and scares me. Just read the thread. It's not discussing the issue that's the problem, that's a very good and very valid thing to share and discuss, and your mental health thread is ducking brilliant. Where it crossed the line is saying that you were going to upload a recording of her. You simply can't do that. I once lost a job because I (under encouragement from more senior people who didn't get punished! I was 18/19) recorded a hilarious answer phone message from an irate customer and l, thinking it would entertain people, shared it. Sackable offense, completely, I agree, but they never mentioned it further - it was a temporary / agency contract and they didn't want to ruin my future career opportunities for a simple mistake. You're not getting criticised for taking about things, but you can see how posting a clip publicly would be a bit to too far, yeah?

Point taken. I reckon had I posted the audio clip though, nobody would’ve been offended, disgusted or disapproving, on the basis that its totally anonymous and totally astounding. I was actually seeking people’s opinion on the level of noise created, not the mental issues. RoyMac5 and May Contain Nuts 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like a cross between a dead gecko and Jimmy Saville, his hands are all gnarled and he has this broad Nottingham drawl. His wife is 3 feet tall, never speaks, just skulks behind his legs hissing. To be fair to her she does look like she's had a very hard life. They don't drawl in Nottingham that would be far too sophisticated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tram Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 On 28/09/2020 at 04:09, Mostyn6 said: I’m currently having a nightmare with a schizophrenic neighbour. The poor woman has basically been neglected and spends an hour banging on the walls and screaming three or four times a day. Could your neighbours make a rota, to take round some flowers every few days? Or something? Perhaps if she receives some nice gestures it will reduce her self loathing? (Increasing interactions without putting anyone at risk, of course.) And if that reduces the screaming to one or two incidents per day, then it might be worth pursuing other ideas like that? I guess that care in the community can only really work if there is a way for a patient to get included in the community, or, indeed, if it is possible for the community to care. PS. I don't really know what schizophrenia is! Is it hearing voices? Is it dangerous to others? PPS. Unless you have a very good council, the recordings are unlikely to lead to a solution! (The reasons for this is another story.) Besides, the noise isn't actually the problem, and, therefore, the strategies available for dealing with antisocial noise won't solve the problem. The problem is that the woman is not coping with her life effectively, and there is already evidence for that. The solution will come from the woman coping with life better. If she cannot cope with life, what impact would a noise abatement order do. And could she be evicted? Maybe? But, it sounds like there will be counter-evidence that she had received inadequate support, which might undermine attempts to secure any eviction.

Ken Tram Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I would say that you and your neighbours might want to focus your pressure on the health service and social services, rather than taking the antisocial behaviour route. And, if the community can find safe ways to engage with the lady, that might accelerate any solutions. (Start by downloading the NHS NICE Guidelines for Schizophrenia treatment, find out what level of support is recommended ... and start asking awkward questions!)

Ken Tram Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Or, take her out on day-trips to Moor Farm, and use her voice to good use - screaming at the players! PS. Joking aside - look after yourself! Can you stay with a friend one night per week, so that you can get some regular respite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 @Mostyn6 @reverendo de duivel Your stories sound awful, I can't imagine what it must be like in your position, nightmare.

Mostyn6 Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 @Ken Tram sadly she doesn’t interact with anyone and has only ever opened her door once. I’ve tried to assist in the middle of her having an incident. She just screams at the door. The Noise App was the request made by the landlord to prove that there are issues simply because a health visitor turned up and was told there were no issues. its more apparent to me since working from home and then losing my job. My previous next door neighbour was directly below her and got banged up last year for posting a envelope on fire through her door. He’d apparently had a breakdown cos of her!

Sadly she has severe mental issues and spends time telling herself to leave herself alone, but by screaming and banging. This is going to sound nuts but have ever throught her flat could be haunted or she could have split personalities were she has more than one person trappied in that body. bigbadbob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’ve taken her off meds and then forgotten all about her. she had a bad few hours earlier, so I went up to ask if she wanted me to call anyone. Sadly she just started screaming that she couldn’t hear me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
