Bed Bug Mental Illness is Real

by Patricia Arana
(San Jose Ca)

After moving into a new apartment I found that it was infested with bedbugs. I didn't know what was wrong with me I have never seen a bedbug before in my life.

My husband thought i was paranoid and high off drugs. I began to have anxiety attacks , my blood pressure was way high. I felt as though something was crawling on me all the time. I cleaned everything over and over again. I had trouble sleeping even to the point of feeling like something was crawling on my bed spread as I covered myself with it, I felt things crawling in my hair.( this where it gets weird ) I also felt the creatures pulling at my diamond ring the smell of the bugs is sickening. Whenever I went out in public I could smell them all over my clothes and other people could too. I felt embarrassed and low finally I could feel my bed shaking. The mental illness part of this is very real no one should have to go through this miserable feeling again.
