Sleeping Problems

BETHECHANGE - Thanks for your lengthy response. I appreciate it. I will download your DUA booklet and see if I can read it at the Masjid when I go for namaaz. I can't read it at home, too much noise from you know who!

I think being patient for so many years has shown what character I have. However, if this carries on, I might end up self harming. I just don't see any other way out. Maybe that's what it says in my takdeer after all.

Thanks for your concern and your kind posts.


GREENHILL - I promise not to start any more threads on the issues I am having. I'm sorry I've taken up so much of your webspace. I will ask the operator/moderator if we can have some of the threads deleted. Once again, apologies. I am sorry, but I know I am clutching at straws. A few people at work keep telling me to start drinking to block it all out, but I would rather see if there were any other avenues before I resort to something like that.

I've already checked the sound proofing. To have all the party walls sound proofed, it would be about £15K. However, it is not guaranteed to work and I have checked various NOISY NEIGHBOURS forums and people have wasted a lot of money on things they thought would work but made no difference.

SAIF-UDDIN - I already am praying that dua with a few others than AYSHA told me about via pm. Do I have to pray them for a certain number of days / number of times before they work?

I know the best option to come out of this alive and sane is to move out, but it's not that easy. I don't have the money to move out. I work part time because I look after my Mom so I can't exactly get a huge mortgage. I don't have much money saved up. So that limits me to what I can and can't do. Also, I am emotionally fragile, burst into tears at any opportunity, I can't even think straight anymore (I've been typing this response for 2 hours). However, I have registered with numerous estate agents and look on websites everyday to see if something has come up. Please don't think I just come on here to vent and hope that someone will magically transport me from this terror I am facing to pastures new.

Anyway, thanks again for your time guys. I appreciate it and apologies if you think I am just a broken record. I promise no more posts about my neighbours on here again.
 
Just saying. . . I believe I replied in every thread you posted on this matter where I feel I could add. But it seems that your neighbours are beyond reproach. Take up playing the drums and remember, you don't have to play well at all. Or the bagpipes... (I'm just being... can't think if the word.) Most likely it won't tak all the noise out but can substantially mute the loudness to mere 'thuds'.. might prolong your sanity. Look up second have sound proofing materials from studios closing down etc... you might get lucky... :peace:
 
Uncle SAIF-UDDIN - I work for the Council. I know the policies inside and out. They will not help me. I have read the documents you mentioned. I have already contacted them via email and via the telephone. They said the noises I am mentioning are normal noises. They can't go in and confiscate the doors from the neighbours. They will only get involved if it is loud music as they can go round and confiscate the music players.

The Council only get involved if the houses that are causing the problem are owned by the Council. For instance, if the neighbours were renting from the Council, they would come down on them like a ton of bricks. The neighbours house is owned by them and ours is owned by us, so they won't be interested in helping us.

I have also joined a few forums where people have been suffering from noise pollution. The local authority / Council / Environmental Health teams are useless and have not helped anyone. They make you keep noise pollution logs and they put machines to record the noise but most of the time they say doors are being slammed and quite loudly but they are not constant, so we can't do anything about it.

GREENHILL - I'm sorry if I sounded shouty in my previous post. I was not having a go at you. I came on to ISLAMIC BOARD last year, secretly hoping someone would give me a magic dua or prayer that would help, or something stupid like that. Desperate people do desperate things don't they? Hence the non stop threads on almost the same issue. I'm sorry if I have gone on and on and on. I'm just so helpless and I have no idea what to do. For instance, it's been non stop throwing doors shut today. I've been at home all day helping Mom out, apart from when I went for Zohar, but even then I could not concentrate as I have a thumping headache. And now I feel sick. I would go and sit in a park but it is chucking it down and my Mom is also so tired, she keeps falling asleep.

I will look into the sound proofing that you mentioned. I am more than happy to spend all my savings as long as I can get a bit of sleep back. I have a Mom to look after and I cannot go on like this. She is elderly and needs to be looked after and I am making myself ill and cranky because of this constant harassment.

Thanks again all for your kind words and your help and advice.
 
I wished there was a magic dua. I know there are magic moments. Only we don't know when it is exactly. Everyday, there is a small moment in time that if you so happen to make sincere dua Allah will grant it. It's been a while since I last came across it and I have forgotten much about it. But all this does not help much improve the situation. Maybe you should look at reorganisation. Find a room furthest away from the noisy neighbours that is small enough to soundproof and have that as your safe room. :peace:
