is nuts. When we had a nanny she used to pick on her, come out and yell about taking her parking space on the public street, or just randomly pick fights. She imitated my tantruming toddler and yelled, when i was desperately trying to strap her into the car to pick up my eldest daughter. I glared and drove off, and then when I got home she just kept banging on my door and yelling. Then she rented out her tin shed to a drummer and several noise complaints later we had to endure months of her retaliation. It was a little scary. Anyway, so theres all that, and thats just the highlights. Thankfully, she and her boyfriend have another house and are rarely home these days. Over the years, she also occasionally had ambulances show up. So we always knew she had some health issues. However, over the past year, these ambulance visits have become extreme. Especially given she is rarely living at the house. There was one day and night where I saw an ambulance show up multiple times, must’ve been about 5 times. There will be several days in a row where I’ll see one show up at least once a day. And then her and her boyfriend will disappear and there will be no sign of them for a few weeks. A couple days ago we are coming in from the car on the street and my youngest whines about something and I hear her imitating my child in this mocking voice. I look over and she is standing there and looking not so great. Then that night it was cops and ambulance at her house, and just now I heard a quick blare of the siren, my guess is to clear the road as it gets blocked. So I can’t help but be curious about whats going on. If there was something actually wrong, they’d take to her hospital right? I’m guessing they have no choice but to take every call seriously and attend. Surely no legitimate medical problem would have that many ambulance visits. And what kind of call outs result in both cops and ambulance?

Could be domestic violence calls made to police? Or regular admission for mental health? Maybe a mixture of the two. If someone calls 000 and indicates that they plan to harm themselves then I would expect that an ambulance would be dispatched no matter how many times the person had called already that day.

My cousin was like that for awhile. Constantly calling ambulances, sometimes twice in one day because she thought she was having a heart attack, but they were panic attacks. Also calling the police as she thought people we trying to get her. I think they warned her off, or put her onto a CAT team or something. She eventually stopped when she realised they were no longer going to give her the attention she wanted.

I wondered about drugs… mental health fits. Ambo was back this morning. I doubt its DV, she is the one that comes across as violent. Oh which reminds me of another incident, where we accidentally got her mail. It was from the Crown casino and the envelope window revealed the first bit of the letter which basically suggested she had been banned from entering due to her behaviour. And yes, its exhausting. Thankfully she is rarely there these days.

Well there is something wrong. It does sound like quite severe mental health issues. But that isn’t a medical problem so all the ambulances in the world won’t help unless she is suicidal. It sounds exhausting to live next door to and very sad and exhausting for your neighbour.
