I have developed a terrible phobia of bedbugs and other bugs that bite. Tonight !

I'm on medication. I also have trouble with sleep caused by anxiety. I have a fear of alien abduction! Anyways you should speak with a psychiatrist [doctor who prescribes medications for mental illness]. I'm on remeron which basically knocks me out. Different thing work for different people though. Its all about trial and error till you find something that works. Good luck!

There was a show on MTV about people with OCD. The people who got better were the ones who faced their fears and realized that when they did what they were afraid of nothing bad happened and they could move on.
For you maybe you could lay in your bed and realize that nothing is biting you. You can tell yourself that nothing has bitten you, and nothing is going to bite you. You probably don't live in an area with bed bugs.

You have to remember that your body was made to withstand minuscule bacteria like bed bugs. These harmless bugs have been around forever and Im sorry to say but you cannot get rid of them. I also have a fear of bugs and I find taking hot showers helps me get to sleep if I saw a spider or beetle earlier. I also like to sit down and read the paper for a while or cover myself up with a bath rode or evening gown while I sleep. =]

wait until you have lived in a asbestos contaminated old house and you get sick you move house and the dust moves with you because its stuck in your furniture your clothes your car seats your socks
this is the nightmare i deal with
my health is shocking im always sick with cough and fevers i would embrace the bed bugs if it was me better than asbestos

I have this issue with bugs! If I see a bug in my room I room out take a hot shower make sure its not on me and I sleep on the couch lol I HATE BUGS.

I also have sever anxiety, sever panic disorder, moderate OCD, mild depression!

Understand your body has been engineered to withstand everyday germs. We have tough bodies your immune system will fight any micro sized bugs off.

Knock off bed-bugs with direct spray of Baygon on them. Sleep after encircling the area of your sleep with Baygon. It works. Caution: Baygon is poison. handle with care.
