I found bedbugs to be more mentally exhausting than anything. I have never felt more sure that I might have a mental breakdown than when I had bedbugs. They are almost impossible to find, they invade your personal space only when you are asleep, and they are very difficult to get rid of. It made me feel unsafe in my own apartment.

True psychological warfare. Having to go to sleep knowing you will wake up with bites that came from insects crawling on you is very unsettling.

Exactly, and getting woken up from tickling every hour, so sleep deprivation probably doesn't help with the mental breakdown. And freaking out every time you see or think that you see a tiny thing moving towards you.
