What does your partner say about all of this?
Your reaction to the mice appears to be an overreaction - so... is it a phobia or is it general anxiety or hormones?
Instead of moving as a knee jerk reaction, you need to deal with how you are responding to the situation... see your GP.:hello:0 -
Honestly, I have tried to 'get a grip!'
I am very panicked by thisHopefully in a few days, I will have calmed down. Thank you for all the advice. I have prepared an email to the landlord and I will review it again and send it in the morning as I have not heard from her since I emailed to notify of the mouse problem and I would really like her to send someone round to put some stuff down to get rid of them xx

He also told me to 'get a grip!'We don't live together so it's not really affecting him. I can see how it may seen like I am over-reacting but I am just so scared of the unknown. I don't know where they are, how many of them there is, what problems they can cause - nothing

Take pictures if u can! preferably with dates , it seems ludicrous but if it goes far , you will be glad you did. I know you have a lot going on but please try and gather evidence. It will stand you in good stead. Even a newspaper of the day with a date is acceptable. I have been through this and am going through it again due to trusting bad people. You are not alone X2/20 NSD0

Aye very good! - dont listen , you have a baby and yourself to think of - these little critters get everywhere and cause all manner of germs and whatever! You are not being irrational in any way, mice poop is not nice and can cause bad things. If it feels bad in your gut, it is bad , go with your gut feeling every time X2/20 NSD0 -
