Do I need to panic about a few larvae?

I've been researching frantically and it all just seems to deteriorate my mental health further. I thought making a post might help me more.

Two weeks ago I found some carpet beetle larvae on my bed (at first I mistook them for lint) and I vacuumed under my mattress where I found about 15 cuddled up in some dust. I put all the bedding in the washing machine at 90 degrees celsius.

Two days later I saw 2 others under my mattress and deep cleaned everything in and around the bed including nightstands. I cleaned with vinegar and put drops of lavender oil since lavender reppelles them. This exhausted me immensely and I chose to stop checking because I cut out their food source and the rest if any should die due to lack of food.

Today my dad called me and told me I should keep checking and despite my pact with myself I checked and found 2 very tiny not moving and 2 very tiny still moving.

I have never seen adults, the first time I saw them was right after I got back home after being away for a week, I'm struggling with mental health issues and I know that I can either let the panic torture me or pretend it doesn't exist.

Can somebody tell me how bad is this? Should I frantically deep clean my apartment again or can I go to sleep peacefully?

WYR schizophrenia edition read the post cuz its a lot to explain

WYR have schizophrenia but the voices can teach you anything you want and they will force you to practice/study every day until you gain the skill/knowledge IF you ask them to teach you and they will make your mind hell if you don't but learning with their help will be 15% quicker and more efficient than otherwise
OR have schizophrenia but all the voices do is tell you to embarrass yourself like telling your crush you're a chicken with a straight face BUT you get 100€ every time you do?

Note: with both options you hear about a voice per minute but for the first option if you don't ask them to teach you anything it's basically regular schizophrenia but the voices are pretty chill overall like you'll still be able to go to work it will just be harder to focus
