Hi everyone. So I posted here before. I had my 2nd treatment last week and the PCO found a live bed bug on my mattress cover after looking at it for about 3 seconds.. After he said the treatment would work after 1 try since it was a minor infestation. After my husband assured me we only had "3" bed bugs and it would all be over. But I was skeptical and knew better. We did all that we could in terms of cleaning and bagging. The PCO said it was either leftover in the bed frame from last time, or from the neighbors as 3 of the neighboring units are stil infested. Lovely.
I have rereanged so much of my life for these bugs. They have disrupted every aspect of my life. My husband and I made an offer on a house last week, and the sellers accepted. My husband does not want to part with the furniture. We also found some dead nymphs, about the size of pencil erasures, so extremely small. I'm afraid they're in the rest of our furniture. We have been sleeping on an air mattress in the kitchen and they haven't gotten us. I do not want to literally sign over my entire life savings for a mortgage if my husband isn't on board with trashing the furniture. I'm OCD and admit I'm over the top, but it will give me peace of mind. Also, I purchased all the furniture before I lived with him, so it's my thousands I'm losing, not his. Well technically ours since I'm married but you know what I mean.
The condo association isn't treating the apartments similataneously, so I know this won't go away. I'm even worried about my husbands bagged clothes, because he washed them on low heat for fear they would shrink! I've ruined so many of my clothes but hey, I don't want live with bedbugs. He doesn't get it.
I've called a 2nd therapist and left a very calm message and no one called me back. I'm at the end of the rope. If we bring these to our future home I will likely end up in the hospital. I can't do this anymore. I tell my husband how much I love him and how devastating this is to me, and he calls me irrational and tells me he wants to keep the furniture. Glad he cares more about that than my mental health.
Anyone have any advice? I will call back the therapist tomorrow. I'm trying to think positive and keep my mind busy but it's just been so hard. I know I'm prone to anxiety but have never been this upset about something before.
