This woman next door (next building, not in mine) just won't. stop. yelling. Someone else in my building yelled at her to 'shut the fuck up', which made me giggle. But this is the same yelly woman from a few weeks ago... she has not abated; she goes out for whatever, and just yells the most heinous stuff. Super triggering content, like really bad, littered with swears (I swear a lot, she makes me cringe) and I just cannot deal anymore. I don't anyone else on my side of the building can deal anymore.

I wish I had of gone to Perth with the cat and mein liebe instead of renewing this lease; it would have been difficult, and expensive, but we could have made it work... I could be chilling the fuck out at Noranda Palms Red Rooster right now. Fuck. FUCK.

I have an actual migraine from being triggered, I swear to FUCKING GOD if I have night terrors tonight I am going to fucking SMASH SOMETHING FUCK

/ENDRANT ENDME

Doesn't sound good and I have nothing useful to add but...

Red rooster chips are amazing though.

I love the one in Noranda bc it's never busy, but the chips and chicken are always fresh lol

I had a good run at the southern cross RR for a while there. 6 (six!) times in a row just rocked up and chips were just being pulled out of the oil and freshly salted every time.

Made me sad I didn't know anyone who'd be impressed by that luck so I kept it to myself :(

What is the woman yelling about or at? Or is it random and nonsensical?

I wonder if there’s something where you might be able to call the authorities for either some sort of wellness check or for a noise complaint or concern.

Ack. Is that by 20 dollars a year?

$20 per month, you sweet summer child lol

Heavy Trigger Warning - CSA/SAI am not a doctor, tho it appears to be some kind of psychosis. She often yells to back off and fuck off and worse, but no one is there. She yells about being raped and assaulted, as a child and adult, both events I have experienced as a child and for 8 years with my ex-partner. It's confronting, triggering, my heart races; I cannot imagine the level of pain she has experiences and the lack of support she has had so far to deal with it. It saddens me deeply, as that could very well be me down there, I just want to fix it for her and take her pain away, but I can't even do that for myself. I have the start of a migraine coming, and I want to throw up.

I'll call the non-emergency line in the morning; right now I'm just going to keep crying and listening to music. I'll be fine.

Oh I’m so sorry, it’s so sad to hear that you’ve had to go through that horrible experience.

My partner was also subjected to it by her ex and occasionally also gets triggered by certain things even after all the work she had to do to get to where she is now.

Unfortunately I’m not sure there’s much we can do for the poor soul. Even I feel helpless that I was not able to help my partner when she was in need of support at the time thought I had met her long after those events.

You do what you need to do to do but if you need some help or something to distract you or to talk to, you know where to find it.

Is your partner around to give you some support?

Also 20 dollars extra a month is insane.

Yeahhhhh that’s gonna get me out of games pass. Or at least cancel it when I’m not actively playing something on Xbox.
