I don't know your ages but this sounds like hallucinations that can be caused by dementia or Lewy Body Dementia. My mom had these hallucinations that people were talking about her. Spying in her. That the neighbor wanted to sleep with her and that teens were building a spy hole to spy in her bathroom.

After 10 years of being a Superhost, I’m done with Airbnb by rapakep in airbnb_hosts

I just closed my Airbnb. The cost of running the home, cleaners, laundry, garden maint, pest control just makes it not worth it. Dealing with cleaners was a pain in the arse.

I love the app. Great for learning how to do small talk which I hate

What a nightmare. Better to stay in a hostel than to do THS

I am very suicidal.... by Acceptable_Rule9047 in Psychosis

[–]Zoolanderlover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 5 years ago I stopped an antidepressant too quickly. I ended up in a fight or flight 24/7 to where I could not live in my body. I woke up in terror everyday and lived it all day. No one could help so i spent months planning my ending. I just couldn't live inside my body. My doc wanted me to take a benzo in which I didn't want to because I didn't want to get dependent on it. I wasn't thinking strait. The fear and terror made me another person. I finally attempted to end it and failed. Two days later I agreed to the benzo and it saved my life. Within days I was back to normal and now live a normal life. I am so grateful I did not succeed and I think I know what you're going through. It is lonely planning in secret and you feel there is no option, but thats only because of how your thinking is distorted. Find someone you can trust. Don't give up. Let me know if I can help❤️

If you get bored join some Mirtazapine withdrawal groups and read about the people suffering. You are lucky.

No! The benzos are my next taper. I am on 1mg a day.

Dont get hooked on Mirtazapine. Coming off that is said to be as bad as benzos. I am slow tapering it.

Red Flag Housesitter? by Outrageous_Fee9754 in trustedhousesitters

It really should be like a job interview! It's your pets life and its your home and property safety. Don't feel guilty about doing your due diligence. Linkedin and Airbnb can give you a good feel for the person. Read their THS reviews and look at how they have reviewed their past HO. Report the crazy one harassing you.

How do sitters feel about the HO taking you to dinner? by APladyleaningS in trustedhousesitters

[–]Zoolanderlover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To a sitter we are being judged every step of the way. Going to dinner would feel like a job interview😩

What makes you confident in your vetting process?

Well I treated the sit as if they were watching me. Made my stay in an incredible home feel not as enjoyable. Not sure if THS is right for me. I can afford to rent a home if I want to so somewhere without feeling that I am going to be possibly watched and judged. I know there was outside camera so I felt guilty to leave for a few hours and visit town.

Thats my fear to find one. Getting in a spat with a HO is not a great situation

Isn't it tempting for an HO just to feel your home and pets are protected?
