Hello everyone!
I live in an apartment building and I’ve been feeling very anxious about some noises and things I overheard from my neighbors. For context, I’m 19F and suffer from anxiety and sometimes paranoia.

These next door neighbors (a couple with a toddler) have been tormenting me for the past 2/3 years, since when they’ve moved in. They kept banging on the wall even while I was normally talking at 9 pm or stuff like that.
They’re the noisiest ever though, especially her. She screams and shouts all the time, throws things around and makes a lot of other noise. Also her child runs and cries all the time, but that’s not an issue for me; she’s the one that sounds crazy.

Things deteriorated even more when 3 months ago, me and a friend of mine were laughing (it was about 3:40 pm), and that neighbor banged on the wall like crazy and started insulting us and threatening us (we heard her talking about us on the phone, with how loud, on purpose, she was being). That event literally made me have PTSD, I’m not even kidding. I’ve been thinking about it over and over again. For reference, those neighbors also have on going bad feuds with almost everyone in their apartment building.

Yesterday, I overheard a conversation through the wall. It was fragmented, but I heard things like someone repeatedly saying “what am I supposed to tell them” (said by the guy) and “you get so fixated on some things”. There were also comments about music and general apartment noise. Yes, I do often listen to music in my apartment but always at normal hours and medium volume.

Because of this, I started worrying that they might be talking about me. I also overheard something about someone always leaving lights on, which made me worry they might be referring to me because I sometimes leave lights on when I go out. This morning I listened to music again and I’m so paranoid because of it, which is crazy because everything I do in my own house feels like I’m breaking the law. I regret having listened to music this morning after what happened yesterday.

After this, I started feeling very paranoid and anxious, and I began worrying about everything. I also started overthinking every noise and became very alert to sounds from the wall. Everyone makes noise after all, and I don’t consider myself a noisy person. The only thing I do is listen to music at normal hours and sometimes my dog barks, yet the response from those neighbors have always so threatening and scary to me. And, as I said, she makes A LOT of noise and always has, but like shouting and screaming all the time, and if not her then it’s her son.

Right after I heard them talking about me yesterday I had a very bad panic attack. I started trembling and crying.

Now I’m feeling stuck in a loop of anxiety where I keep replaying what I heard and trying to figure out if it was about me or not, and it’s making me scared to even leave my apartment.
I’m trying to understand whether I’m overthinking this or if I should be concerned about ongoing tension with neighbors in an apartment building environment.

Sorry for the long post.

Hello everyone!
I’m from the EU (19F, Italian-Swedish living in Italy now) and lately I’ve been thinking about moving to Australia, probably Sydney or Brisbane, with a Working Holiday Visa. My issue is that I’d only have around 3 months to organize everything and honestly that scares me a lot.

I don’t know that much about Australia yet, so the idea of moving literally across the world feels overwhelming sometimes. Australia is so far away from Europe and I think that’s one of the biggest things making me anxious about it. Part of me is excited because it feels like a fresh start, which is what I need right now, but another part of me is terrified because everything would be so new.

Another thing is that I’ve never worked before, so I have no real work experience, and I keep wondering if that would make things really difficult on a WHV. I know a lot of people do casual jobs there and I’m open to working and doing anything, but I’m scared that it might be hard for me to work. I don’t obviously have a university degree yet.
Also, I’d be open to live on rent in a room, but, since I’ve never done that, it obviously scares me a bit.

Has anyone here moved to Australia young and alone, especially on a WHV? Was it worth it? How hard was it to settle in, find work, find a house/room on rent, make friends, etc.?

I’m from the EU (19F, Italian-Swedish living in Italy now) and lately I’ve been thinking about moving to Sweden, probably Stockholm. My issue is that I’d only have around 3 months to organize everything and honestly that scares me a lot.

Even though I do have Swedish roots, I still don’t know Sweden that deeply in terms of daily life, work, housing, bureaucracy, etc., so the idea of moving there alone feels overwhelming sometimes. Part of me is excited because it feels like a fresh start, which is what I need right now, but another part of me is terrified because everything would be so new.

I’d also be open to renting a room, but since I’ve never done that before, it honestly scares me a bit too.
