It's good to hear you were able to use a grounding technique when you started to feel uneasy, I've linked an article here with some other techniques which are quieter.
My favourite one is the 54321 technique, you list 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste.
But the article is super helpful as it tells you what emotion the grounding exercise is best for
Sorry to hear that a situation with your mum's neighbour is making you upset, would you like to talk about it here?
