Today, after finally going to therapy for anxiety like everyone wanted, I discovered the itching feeling that kept me awake at night was actually caused by a bedbug infestation. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up to something crawling on my leg. Thinking it might be a spider, I jumped out frantically to check. The good news: it's not a spider. The bad news: it's a bedbug. My apartment was just treated for them. FML
Today, I discovered that my bed has a flea infestation. I discovered it after sleeping naked in it for about an hour. FML
Today, I discovered I have bed bugs. I have nowhere else to sleep and I won't be able to afford a new mattress for at least a year. I'd better get used to these giant welts. FML
Today, I was sleeping in my bed when I felt an itch on my arm. Then another. Then another. I finally looked to see what was going on, only to find a bunch of ants crawling in my bed. They were somehow getting in through the closed window. Guess I’m done sleeping tonight. FML
Today, three days after finally having a bed to sleep on, I woke up with multiple bedbug bites. I can't use my blankets, wear any of my clothes and it's back to sleeping on the floor for me. FML
Today, after three visits from exterminators and another from a steam cleaner, I still have bedbugs. FML
Today, I found out that the little red dots all over my body aren't some horrible disease like I originally thought. They're bedbug bites. I've managed to not notice a huge infestation for 5 months. FML
Today, I was glad to find out that all the bedbugs have been eaten. Now I have a spider infestation. FML
Today, I found out that my anxiety disorder has escalated to where I now scratch and pick at my face while asleep. Now I get to sleep with oven mitts taped to my hands. FML
Today, after being moved to three different employer-provided apartments because they all had mold and electrical problems, I requested a bigger bed. The bed they delivered had bedbugs. FML

They always said, "Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite." You let the bedbugs bite!!! How disappointed your family must be that you didn't obey that simple instruction.

it's not really a matter of cleaning your sheets. if you don't get rid of the eggs, they'll hatch and reinfest everything. never mind that their eggs can get stuck in vacuum filters and spread around the house. a living nightmare

I had bed bugs a couple months ago. no infestation, just some. took a month to realize they were hiding between my bed frame and box spring. I looked like something out of a horror movie.

If you didn't already take care of the problem. Diatomaceous Earth works great against them. And some say that rubbing alcohol works too. You should also buy a heater that will get up to at least 150°F and bake your room for 6 hours.

bedbugs caused my already bad anxiety to get ten times worse. we were stuck living with them for three years. sesame seeds make me real paranoid.
