Me (23F) and my boyfriend (23M) just moved into this cute, older apartment, largely out of necessity - our old apartment complex got bought and we couldn’t afford the new rent. This new place is a lot older (like built in 1908) and has the typical problems of old buildings - lead paint in the window tracks, probably asbestos in the ceiling, ungrounded outlets. We’re only here while my boyfriend goes through law school, so I know those things will probably not harm us for such a short time if we’re smart. But the anxiety part of my brain just will not shut up, especially about my one-year-old cat. I’m terrified that he’ll get lead poisoning from chewing the windowsill while we’re not around or heatstroke because we don’t have AC. Logically I know lots of people (and cats) have been completely fine in these apartments but I just can’t seem to relax. Moving isn’t really in the cards, and unfortunately management isn’t required to fix these issues until they become issues. Has anyone ever dealt with “home base” anxiety and lived to tell the tale?
