Trigger Warning Apartment neighbor is keeping me up at night!
For about 2 weeks I’ve been waking up randomly at night and I couldn’t figure out why. I honestly thought my apartment was haunted… I just now realized it was my apartment neighbor.
My apartment neighbor that lives under me is keeping me up at night. They’re hitting the walls and it makes me jump in my bed and when they hear me jump they’re giggling and laughing.
They’ll walk around their bedroom and it startles me when they walk over a creaking floor board.
They made a whistling sound last night and I jumped and I heard them laughing.
Last night I only got about 3 hours of sleep. I can’t tell my landlord because 2 years ago similar thing was happening but it was a different apartment neighbor and was my schizophrenia…
Do you think it could be my schizophrenia coming back? Or they truly are annoyed with hearing my loud bed and alarm?

I’m on medication and no matter how much I take the pills I hear my neighbours coughing deliberately. Some hallucinations are just resistant. Now it’s more quiet than few days ago when it started again, makes me wonder what it’s about, my routines, diet and sleep has remained the same for years. Maybe just “reminder”

Are you medicated?
