So the hurry of kicking us out of the apartment my sister had? She told me she wanted our mom to sell it and get all the money because I was living there rent free so I already "had my share". Then my mother told me to get out "with no hurries, but as soon as you can...."

It turns out, they simply moved to the apartment were we lived.

This has costed me money I could otherwise have not spent, time, effort, costed me wellbeing of my kid, my wife and we are fucking wrestling with cetipedes every fucking night because one of her whims....

Family can suck really hard sometimes.

No, no, centipedes will help with their roach problem. Namely the sister in question. But probably all the other roaches too.

These aren't venomous centipedes, are they? Just the nice cuddly house centipede zoomers right?

Oh yeah. The sting is similar to a wasp according to my wife.

Yeah. I'd be like, you are no longer my sister. Come anywhere near me in the future and I will cover you in trapjaw ants.

I think I found a good web page that gives basic tips to get rid of centipedes: https://plunketts.net/blog/never-ever-centipedes

I've also read elsewhere that you can buy sticky traps and place them where the centipedes are going, or make such traps by putting a layer of petroleum jelly on cardboard. But killing them on sight is a good measure too.

Silverfish sometimes eat paper, though. Possible concern if you've got books and paintings.

Most annoying part for me is when they fall into my ceiling lamp from above, then can't climb the glass and die there. Have to clean them out when replacing the light bulb. There's also a dead one stuck in a painting frame.

Sometimes I wonder what the hell happened in my life that made me so... paranoid. No joke, my sister could ask me an innocent question about what I'm doing, and before it was pointed out to me, I would go "And?" in the most distrustful, suspicious tone possible. I'd do this reliably. To my own sister, whom I trust and care about. I'm treating her like a stranger with that tone. Y'all don't hear (or read?) me act like that because I have time to think about my words. She doesn't get that luxury.

Hell, it's even invaded my vocabulary. I use "I suspect that..." quite often, even when the situation doesn't call for it. It's like everything's a murder mystery, but there's no murder, and no mystery. Either that, or it's probabilistic, uncertain in nature. "Likely", "probably", "maybe", all staples of my speech; you could write a Bingo card on my speech patterns, and those words would make up a good chunk of it. Just another way to cover my ass, as if anyone's actually gonna call me out on rough estimates made even rougher by those words.

I keep checking my posts for repeated topics via search, as if anyone's gonna notice that I've repeated something I talked about a year ago. Almost every time I check, it turns out that, no, I've never said anything about it. Not with the search terms I use. For the record, I don't think I've said this before, not in this way.

Like, I think the peak of my paranoia would've been around middle school. I was using Tor, didn't have any accounts on anything (not even an email). Hell, I probably would've used Gentoo (Arch has binary packages! Can't trust that!) with every hardening measure in the book had I been able to wrap my head around the install instructions. I think I experimented with Ubuntu for a little bit, which was as far as I could go.

And this was before the, uh, Betrayal (phrasing carefully to avoid triggers), so it was kinda ingrained in me. I mellowed out after that, actually. What the hell happened? How'd I end up this way? Was I born to be paranoid? In its current incarnation, it's paranoia paired with anxiety, but I wonder if the building blocks were already there before then.

I mean, clinical paranoia is a thing.

Maybe hit up a doctor. Can't hurt to check, if you're seriously thinking about it as a problem now.
