I ask for these reasons~
i moved into my home 8 1/2 years ago. It's a charming cottage in the forest near a lake, but built in 1919.<--That's the original, there has been a bit added on and 'fixer-up' stuff that i have taken on. One of the things that i have been challenged by is mold in the bathroom central in the house. i mean, CENTRAL. To look at the blueprints, it- and a very old fireplace- are in the center, back-to-back. Replacing drywall that had mold "blossoms" and painting has been ineffective. It IS older plumbing, and has had fractional leaks into the rough basement downstairs where the furnace and blowers to the vents throughout the house are located. There is mold there, and some dryrot, which has led me to the descision that the whole bathroom and floor, etc.etc. need to be torn out and remodeled.
Each time i ask about "toxic mold", repairmen look at their boots and shuffle, then change the subject. Okay, Okay...Reason #2--
My symptoms of depression and fatigue and mental "discombobulation" seem to have resparked and cumulatively increased in the few years that i have been here. Finally seeking chemical help because my therapy wasn't accomplishing as it should... (granted, i've had some logical reasons to feel need of assistance)... it's been observed that there is a dramatic change in my mental and emotional processes, just getting out of my home. This CAN be attributed purely to psych. reasons, and it can also be explored in terms of unknown physical influences, IMHO. At least, that's something i've been wondering about. At this point, i'm very intent on discovering the sources i need to address in this territory of distress.SOooooo, can you give me some specific directions to look into? Some psych info. to start with? i'd be greatly indebt to you. Researching for myself on this vast internet had me drowning in information overload.
Thank You in advance, hopefully,
Escher
