I have a somewhat mild form of katsaridaphobia (fear of cockroaches). I often cry, hyperventilate, and have panic attacks when I see them in my home. I sometimes struggle to keep my room from getting messy due to unrelated depression, but never let food/dishes/trash stay out upstairs at all. I compulsively clean my kitchen, because I’m terrified of any residue from cooking/baking will attract roaches. It just feels hopeless, no matter what I do. There is no way to guarantee that I won’t see them, no matter how clean my house stays; there are giant gaps in the foundation of my shitty house that they can crawl through, and I live in Texas, so the unrelenting, dry weather drives them inside. I like to vacate my house as soon as possible when I see one and spend a few days with my mom, but that not always possible and we get them over there too.

I just don’t know what to do. I don’t know if there’s any advice to be given atp, it just feels like nothing can be done. I just need to talk about it because nobody else in my family is scared of them and I feel like they think I’m being silly when I freak out. I have a bunch of baking to do tonight, but I saw one in the kitchen and now I physically cant go in there. My cat messed with it a bit and then lost interest. I love him so much but he’s so fucking useless :(

Everytime I see one I can’t stop from thinking about how I’ll never be able to get away from them. I know that it’s stupid and they can’t do anything to me, but I genuinely feel unsafe in my own home. I’m terrified at the thought that one day I’ll have to live on my own and nobody will be there to help me. I just don’t know how to get over this. I already struggle with suicidal thoughts not related to my phobia, and when it’s triggered I have episodes. I just want to get away from them so badly

I’m pretty sure that the area in Tartarus where Hades and Cerberus are is the same area Sisyphus was in the first game. Is there a point where this is addressed? I’ve beaten Chronos a few times, but haven’t done the incantation to keep him dead. When the House is restored, will he come back?

I purchased a song from iTunes. I have to convert it to a 30 second clip using GarageBand. I need it in my files app to do this. It won’t let me do this through iTunes or Apple Music.

How can I try downloading it?

I live in the south, and I inevitably see a lot of bugs in the summer. I’m already scared of most insects, but I specifically have a phobia of cockroaches and water bugs. My house is also badly built so there are a lot of gaps in the foundation and all that that makes it easy for stuff to get in.

When I see a cockroach, it’s usually a one-off thing that happens once every few months or so. A very small one (I’m pretty sure it was a baby) crawled on me last night in bed. My room is upstairs, and while most of the ones I’ve seen in the house have been downstairs, all of the ones I’ve seen upstairs have been in my room. I’ve also seen my cat chasing a baby roach before, but it was more than a year ago.

Is this indicative of an infestation? I am terrified at the thought and want to get the house treated as soon as possible if there’s a problem.

I live in the south and waterbugs/cockroaches LOVE it here. My house is also kinda badly built so there are a lot of gaps in the foundation and such that they can squeeze into. I see at least one or two of them in the house most summers, which never fails to give me a full blown panic attack. So, I’m really freaked out whenever my cat is running around and sensing little movements of things in my vicinity that I can’t see.

This may be a stupid question, but is there ANY way to tell when he’s being silly vs when he has an actual target? It’s hard to be constantly stressed and not feel safe in my own home lol

Edit: I posted this cuz I thought my cat was hunting something (he was) and thought it might be a cockroach (it was) and he did not kill it so it crawled in my bed 👍👍👍👍
