am i a hypocondriac please help?
sorry i dont know if thats how you spell it. anyway i had an pretty messy house i found carpet beetle larva in my cupboards and on my baseboards basically i was infested with them. I took this week off work and totally cleaned my house from top to bottom it took me about 10 hours to do but it got done and i feel totally awesome i have a super clean house! well my father used to work for pest control and he came over and sprayed for them. I have been searching for them its like im obessed to get these little ugly nasty bugs out i cant stand seeing magget looking bugs in my house. I know i did this to myself but im not EVER letting my house get messy again. I freak out when i see them there just so gross i cant stand it. I have found some since my dad sprayed but there not in the cuboards i have found them in the bathroom, I cant tell if there dead or alive because they freeze when the suspect danger. how can i tell if there dead or not? should i call my dad again to have him spray? please i dont want to be obessed with this do you think im going alittle overboard with this?
No. Hypocondriacs are afraid of having a serious illness and they think that normal everyday symptoms are something serious. However, you just may have a fear of bugs or something.
Your not a hypochondriac because then you would be thinking the bugs caused some horrible disease cuz u had a cold or something. other irrational beliefs.
HOwever you might have some ocd. its not healthy to be constantly worrying and obsessing about your house like that. try to seek help before it gets out of control buddy
You probably don’t have anything to worry about. Hypochondriacs believe they have symptoms of nearly every illness they know about. You just have an extreme fear of insects in your home, which is understandable. No one likes bugs living in their home, you’re just trying to clean up so they won’t have a new habitat… which is what a lot of people would do.
Just clean the bathroom, have your father spray again, tell yourself it’s taken care of and try to get over it.
If you can’t get over it after a week, then you should see a doctor.
