In addition to being physically stressfull, dealing with bed bugs can also take its toll on your psychological well being.If you are dealing with a bed bug infestation you are all too aware that what you are going through is physically demanding (preparing your home for extermination, living out of bags etc.) but you should be aware that your ordeal may be effecting your mental state as well.
Are you getting up in the middle of the night, flashlight in hand, looking for the bugs? This is a common and normal thing that most people do. Just the thought that, at any moment, a bed bug may be making its way over to you to feed on you is enough to keep anyone up at night.
People who are suffering with bed bugs often go weeks without sleep. Breaking the normal sleep pattern one or two nights in a row is easily recoverable but going weeks without a proper rest can wreak havoc on even the most level-headed individual. Throw kids, work and daily stress into the mix and you have a recipe for potential disaster.
The social stigma associated with having bed bugs can also wreak havoc on one's social life.
If you are feeling stressed and anxious to the point where you think that you need help - get that help sooner than later - don't be ashamed - help is simply a phone call away!
