Is this anxiety

About 6 months ago I had bed bugs so i paid an exterminator to come and get rid of them.

still to this day i am forever pulling my bed apart to see if they have returned, which they have not.

Is this anxiety doing this and should I discuss it with my psychiatrist, I am obsessed.

Hi Ozziebear,

Thank you for sharing, you always have the support of our community!

I am sorry that you had to go through this and would definitely recommend speaking to a professional about this. More often than not, we overlook certain situations and do not completely comprehend how they affect our mind. It would be highly beneficial to speak to a mental health professional about your emotions and coping strategies that can be implemented.

I hope this helps!

Take care,

Sarea.

Dear Ozziebear~

Welcome back, it's good to hear from you, even though circumstances are not great.

Checking a few times ot see if the pest controller had been effective would seem a reasonable thing to do, but after that to keep on constantly checking reminds me of the time you felt you had to read a chapter in a book each time.

I would think this is exactly the sort of thing you should discuss with your psychiatrist, after all to be bound to act in a certain way all the time does not make for a pleasant life, and I'd wonder if it might make you doubt yourself too.

Incidentally how do you go about the reading? Did you get some help at that time?
