My neighbor has been filming me and my friends every time we come and go. She lives above me, and it’s been super stressful—I’m already going through chemo and have a mental health condition. Has anyone dealt with something like this? Any advice on what I can do?
Man, that’s rough. I think she can legally film if she’s on her property, though… but IDK, maybe try for a restraining order?

Thanks, DEF. Yeah, I heard that too… but what about the stress she’s causing me? It’s making me feel so unsafe.

You might be able to document the stress it’s causing—get some kind of medical documentation showing it’s affecting your health?
Have you tried talking to her? Maybe she doesn’t realize how much this is affecting you.

I wish I could, but she’s not exactly approachable… honestly, she seems to get a kick out of it.

If she’s doing it on purpose, you might be able to argue it’s harassment. Maybe talk to a lawyer?
If she’s only filming outside, it might be hard to stop her legally. But if she’s making threats, that’s a different story.

No direct threats, but it’s definitely intimidating. Just feels like I can’t escape her watching.

You could try getting some privacy screens or cameras to record her back… sometimes that’s enough to deter people.
If it’s causing so much stress, there might be grounds to file a complaint about her creating an unsafe living environment for you.

Thanks for the tip! I didn’t know that was even an option. I’ll look into it.

Good call, sometimes just starting a formal complaint can make them back off a bit.
Not sure if this is an option, but maybe consider getting some legal advice. Even just a consult to see your options.

Yeah, might have to. Just feels overwhelming dealing with all this while being sick.

Totally understandable. Lawyers can at least guide you, so you know what’s realistic.
