The medical community now recognizes Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as resulting not just from war, but from intense stress from a bully / sociopath / psychopath. The daily barrage that a bully is capable of, when directed at one person or a small number of people can result in PTSD. If you have the shakes, severe memory loss, can't concentrate, and feel unemployable - see a doctor, psychologist or psychiatrist. If your doctor thinks you have PTSD you can get one more mark against the bully who has targetted you. It can eventually help if you go to court.

PTSD, live this everyday. Life across the street from a stalker is sometimes unbearable. Always wondering what they're gonna do next leaves one on edge. Coping is a daily challenge but one we must continue as we're determined not to let them drive us out of our home. A living Hell. Any suggestions on how to overcome without moving?
Went through the same thing as you are experiencing. Don't drop any of your normal activities - clubs, exercise, church - as these can really help anchor you and minimize the damn fools across the street. If you are not involved in very much, get involved in something you really enjoy. Don't forget to have friends over frequently, even if the neighbors put on a show. You're in a very difficult situation that only a few of us truly understand. Also - when my husband and I started to get irritated with each other, one would remind the other that it was the neighbor causing the conflict and that helped keep our marriage strong. Best wishes to you.
I get what you're saying, I wish I had the support you got. My husband was in denial for the longest time so by the time he "got it" I was nearly a basket case. We've learned to live with this abuser,ignoring her as much as possible and yes we have people over. Living a happy life is was kills them!
I think my neighbor bully will finally get his due. This time he crossed the line by being in colusion with the mail carrier, and either opening or having this letter opened to provide him with the details of a HIGHLY PERSONAL NATURE. There has been info spat at me over the years that would make me suspect this unholy connection between the two. I complained when the carrier gave my wife this particular letter opened and placed at the bottom of a bundle. I learned that he is supposed toplace it in a plastic bag and let us know. He played dumb ofcourse. But he is a highly competant mail carrier that would never miss this one. He wasmoved offof my block. My next step is to contact the postmaster and make a formal complaint. Maybe he'll admit what was going on to try and save his keester.
I feel the same way. My crazy neighbor and his girlfriend live to pester and torment us. Even with a Criminal Court Order stay away no contact of 200 YARDS its almost impossible to prove this girlfriend is not coming back to our house on her own..I shake,cant sleep,cant eat and live in fear of what's coming next every day.

Great post!
my husband and I live in a neighborhood with a psyco vet that has at one point , managed to convince 1/2 or more, of our subdivision to help him run us out. we have been robbed, vandalized, every inch of our home has been repeatedly violated. we discovered cameras, we were bugged, our stuff gets moved around, disappears and months later it sometimes comes back. our Dog was trapped and nearly killed twice, where our fence is secured to the posts has been unsecured so that it just leaned on the posts. my car has been stolen and wrecked our Harley was stolen. the list goes on forever! no one will do anything to help stop him. been to court and the judge was bought, I am sue of it. still trying to figure out what to do about him.
I am a single woman living alone.. The first day I moved in this based on income apartment complex.. A older bipolar woman started peeping out her window several times watching me. After I finished moving my things in later at night.. She started banging on the walls from the other side all that night until five in the morning. Then the next day I heard her telling a few of the other neighbors that she saw me and heard how I talked... She told them that I look like a hoer and that I sound white like a uncle Tom. A couple days later she started begging for cigarettes asking my daughters and my nurse and physical therapist for a ride somewhere and for cigarettes.. They all turned her down for rides and cigarettes except one of my daughter she tried questioning my daughter about me but she didn't know she was my daughter and asked her who lived next door that she visits, what was my name.. And who is she to me. She proseded the following day getting a crowd of people telling them falsely lies that I was a prostitute, had aids.. Then said I was in a coma and almost died.. And many more lies.. People in the apartment buildings started harassing me calling me out my name.. She got her grown nephews who are in the gang and drug dealers to sit and stand on my car and threatening me on a daily basis.. I had to call the police and housing constantly.. Housing did nothing and wouldn't move me either.. They made excuses why they couldn't move me.. By the way she's still banging on the walls two years later and I've called the police many times.. All the say is move.. And I can't afford it at all.. Ive filled out other applications but it's a long process waiting.. Years for another apartment.. This psycho woman and her thug family members and friends have stressed me out. She's always opening her door or window to watch when I leave or come home. She has everyone picking on me every day.. I'm not getting sleep now or rest.. They have put upside down crosses on my door while I'm gone. And vandalized my car several times.. They yell out while standing around in crowds bitch we been watching you since you moved in. calling me white, sellout, uncle Tom. The police. I'm scared and don't know what else to do.. And there's slot more.
