Hello, I've just moved into my new apartment for college and my ocd is kinda flaring up right now. The place was definitely not deep cleaned before I got here but its not too bad. I did some basic cleaning like the counters, door handles, faucets and shower. Im having trouble decerning real things to clean and things that my ocd wants me to do. Im particularly worried about the toilet, the floors and the walls. I can see they vacuumed all of the carpets, but I just don't know about the bathroom floors or the toilet. I'd love to hear from anyone in a similar situation or has gone through this before. I've been here for a couple days, so obviously I've been using each room, if you guys said I should have cleaned the bathroom floor... Im worried about how I've tracked that ick onto the carpets throughout the place.

Im moving to a new apartment for college soon and an unexpected hurdle has come up.

3 weeks ago, me, my boyfriend and my mom went on a short trip and stayed in a hotel, when we arrived I checked the beds and did not see any signs of bed bugs. One full week after we return from the trip, my boyfriend finds one singular bed bug in his bed. He immediately washed all his bedding, and has not seen any signs since.

I dont know if the bug came from the trip or what happened but I have not seen any signs anywhere in my house. He comes over nearly daily and Im afraid a bug may have traveled with him over here despite me checking my bed often and not seeing any signs. I have extreme ocd and I've been seeing therapists and been on medication for quite some time now. No matter how often I check I'm horrified that I have bed bugs and I'll accidentally bring them with me to my new apartment. Also I plan to talk to talk to my therapist about this too but I won't see her for a little while.

Any fabric items I'll be taking with me to college I am washing on hot then putting in a storage bin, Im trying to make as many precautions as I can but Im still freaking out. My room/bed is already a big problem for me and my ocd as I see it as a safe/clean space, and now I can't.

Im just looking for any advice, more precautions I can take, ease of mind, anything. Would it be obvious if I did have bed bugs? How can I know for sure?

Tldr: Im moving soon and my boyfriend found a bed bug at his house. I'm horrified I'll get them too despite not seeing any signs.
