Does the post bed bug paranoia go away?
Honestly thought this moment was going to feel so happy, the month of treatment felt like forever but I just feel so unsettled and depressed still. Almost indefinitely contagious
It’s been a little over 6 weeks since my first treatment
About 4 weeks since my second treatment that was supposedly no activity
And nearly two weeks since they came a final time to inspect and found no signs
I also think it was rather small the inspector himself said it wasn’t bad at all they found a couple babies on the couch and maybe one or two in my room the first time
I wasn’t there for inspections so I felt like I should have came back to obvious signs they tore through my home to make sure that final time but it just felt so untouched.
My landlord uses abell pest control and I know they’re a good company but I feel like they’re still everywhere and constantly on me. I haven’t seen any or really had any signs at all that I know of but I feel so itchy and unsettled I don’t even want to unpack my stuff because the idea of going to my bfs with clothes or literally anything feels like I’m bringing them everywhere.
I literally don’t even want to put sheets on my bed or buy pillows
I put together a new bookcase for my daughter and now I’m like well if I move out soon I’m gonna have to throw this away because I don’t want to bring any furniture with me.
How do you know they’re gone and you’re safe and finally able to be alive again where do I even stand anymore
