I am going crazy! Please someone help!

Yours is a rather difficult situation. i know there is no rule agains t people dancing or jumping in their own apartment, but good neighbourliness demands that you are considcerate to your neighbours. soem people do nto have any consideration at all. You can do one thing. Find out when she sleeps and you can start hammering a nail in the roof. Do it every day and do not let her sleep for a week.

well what I do Is lay on the floor and throw a baseball to the celling that will help you relax and it will make it clear to them that you are being bothered fight noise with noise.

One of to ways to solve this ok you talked to the office they won't do anything about it your next step if I were you is to call the police and explain the situation to them. It's disturbance of the peice and where your landlord dosn't want to make her stop the cops could. Landlords don't like when cops get involved but oh well she didn't do anything about it take the matter into your own hands. Your landlord can't evict you either on this for you warned her of the complaint and she chose to ignore it when in all actuality she should have taken care of the problem her being the landlord and all. That's just me I am lucky I have good neighbors in my apartment complex for if I didn't I would all over it and fast. I wish you the best of luck with your situation try to remain calm :)

You are definitely in a bad position and by reacting as you have it has only gotten worse. Now you need to step back a moment, don't do anything rash, and consider how the situation may be improved. At this time she probably is making more noise because she knows it irritates you whereas before she probably didn't realize that their footsteps echoed so load in your apartment. When people live so close together as in apartments it is a fact of life that they will get on each others nerves. She has no reason to want to resolve the issue so you are going to have to be the adult in this case. The first thing you are going to have to do is open a dialog with her. Even though you are not in the wrong you could apologize to her for causing her trouble, explaining that you were feeling particularly bad that day because of what ever health problems you are having. Leave it at that, don't ask her to be quieter at this time. If she won't talk to you at all to let you do this put it in a card and send it to her. When you see her in the hall or laundry room or where ever always smile and say hello. Eventually she will have to smile back. After a little time has passed get a small house plant and a couple of suckers and take them up to her apartment. Tell her it is a housewarming gift and be sure to ask her permission before you let her kids see the suckers. Things should be rolling along nicely now to repair the rift and soon you will notice a lessening of the noise. In the mean time you could get something that plays music through headphones and play your favorite soothing music in your ears to mask the noise and calm your nerves.

Just pray... :)

Oh dear... I'm sorry you have to endure neighbors like that. I hope and pray that you'll be able to find a place thats peaceful enough for you. Goodluck my dear.

Hi lagirl, Have you ever tried to talk to her. If not, i think you should talk to her in a friendly manner. And try to offer a help her of complaining. Maybe she has a problem that through making noise it makes her feel alright. Sometimes we do other things to make our self better like making some noise without having an intention to hurt others. Be considerate and know the her condition. But if she does it to annoyed you then that would be a different story. You can always ask assistance of the police office for the disturbance she make. Happy new year.
