  • I don’t know if it is generally good advice, but this personally saved me from spiraling immediately after a traumatic event. When I started, it felt like a thin line between mild depression and utter insanity:

    Sleep and wake up at the exact same time every single day, with no exception (obviously as much as you can).
    For the first hour then, do the same sequence of actions (eg. drink coffee, listen to podcast, stretch, …).

    Waking extremely early is best for me as I end up alone in quiet, but I assume this would work even for a night owl.
    It is like keeping an anchor in your daily life, when everything else is confusion.

    I lived with someone like op described.

    He was my father in law and I had no other choice than to suck it up for years. When I left home, he transfered his insane behaviour to his own daughter, who eventually went no contact.
    Nobody would believe me, he was so good at making me look like the problematic teenager (good fucking riddance, François).

    Some people ARE motivated into making a living hell for you. I know it is hard to even imagine it, because most of the time we live with (to some extents) reasonable people.
    But these borderline psychos exist and often target those who are hardly believed by others.

    Anyway, my advice to OP is as most said on this thread: document everything, up to the hour of occurrence.

    Edit: forgot that post was about neighbors downstairs and not a roommate
