    Hey @ellie2000 ,

    You've done really well to reach out and share this with us. We really appreciate your trust.

    I'm hearing that you feel as though your neighbours are toxic, and I wondered if you'd like to tell us a little more about that? What do you mean by toxic? What kind of things so they do?

    I can also see that you've mentioned that you struggle to sleep at night. Has this been going on for a while? What kind of things have you tried to help you so far, if you'd be comfortable sharing some of those things with me?

    You might like to take a look at The Sleep Charity, who are a national charity supporting people to get a good night's sleep. Their website is: https://thesleepcharity.org.uk/.

    Take care, Ellie, and we'll speak soon.

    Harry

    With d___heads making it not a very nice place, it was nice for a while, it was quiet. It's become loud n rowdy. now and I'm waiting to move, mums moving already, I hav to wait for the authorities to get there act together which isn't very nice.
    I'm unhappy everyday being on my own during the five days and I don't no wat to do coz I feel isolated and uneasy. I suffer with ptsd too, so outside noise at night is a trigger

    Hey @ellie2000

    There are lots of sleep exercises you can do:

    - a body scan which will get you to draw your attention on relaxing your physical body
    - any form of meditation on YouTube to allow your brain to focus on something else
    - listening to calming music, which will be good to block out the outside noise if that is a trigger

    If you feel comfortable to, could you tell us what you are waiting for the authorities to do in order for you to move with your mum?
