I feel very stucked. Cannot do anything in order to get out of my moldy appartment. I am completely not in power.

I have problem to take action. Everybody I talked don’t understand,, A few does and I am not sure what to do. I am very anxious, stressed out and depressed because I am scare to lose my mind in this moldy environment.. I feel not myself and weird, I am scared.

I took some action but someday I feel a bit better and I don’t want to move anymore, I talked tosomeone that tell me that mold is not dangerous and that I am anxious for nothing and then i doubt myself.. I talked to Attorney, tell me what could happen i f I leave from where I live. I am scared and not sure what to do in the same time. I had a air test and it says that there is mold but not enough to make a person sick. But I had cleaned the house 2 days before because I was scared for me and my 7 years old son.

If I stay there I will be loosing my mind .. I am sure…I feel it! Scared.. Need help to get unstocked.

Thanks for reaching out. I encourage you to continue to do the other brain healthy activities you have control over, including eating well, getting adequate sleep, drinking plenty of water, and exercising regularly. Spend time outside daily, and while you are still in the apartment, spend time at others’ homes, at the library, or other venues where you can get breaks from the mold exposure. You might consider taking Every Day Stress Relief or GABA Calming Support to help with the anxiety. And try to avoid all sugars, caffeine, and refined/processed foods to keep your symptoms from worsening. If you need more personalized support, please consider making an appointment with one of our brain health coaches. Best to you. -Coach Zoe

Hello…I’m Chell and a long time Brain Fit Life participant.
I was deeply touched by your willingness to reach out and seek help and advice.  
Your situation sounds very difficult.  
What state do you live in?

Coach Zoe’s advice reminded me of the beautiful Serenity Prayer I learned so long ago…
     “Lord help me to Accept the things I cannot change,
      Courage to Change the things I can,
      and Wisdom to kow the difference.”

By focusing our energy on the things we have power and control over we begin to see changes for good in our lives.  Those changes take on a life of their own and gradually push the despair away.  When you gain strength in other areas of your life, the mold and decay cannot affect you so badly.  Perhaps it will still be there, but you will be stronger and more resilient to the feelings you have right now.  

I truly wish you well as you care for yourself and your precious little boy!
