so, I posted a previous thread of a dead bat I had found. it was sent out for testing, and came back rabies negative. I thought the nightmare was over until I saw one with probably 4-5 foot wingspan last night / early morning.

I have not been able to sleep and I'm in extreme hypervigilance and feel so unwell. my parents aren't taking it seriously, and I know they must be getting worse because I can actually smell the scent of them.

our basement is fully furnished but it has a fireplace that is sealed off. I've read they don't like the cold, but does that mean they wouldn't be down here with me? I don't know where the one from early this morning went. I am horrified. I've taken xanax, etc. and the worst part is my family doesn't think its "bad" or that I'm being "dramatic" and I feel really just uncomfortable and need advice.
