View Full Version : Worried about house and cracks
Hi all. Feel so silly posting this but wondering if any e else gets anxiety about their house. In particular wall cracks. Even though the rational part of me knows that all houses have cracks and most are harmless. I still get anxiety attacks when I see them. Even if it’s not my house. Any cracks I see make me worry that they could happen to my home too.
I think it probably comes back to a fear of loss or money worries. If we had structural problems I could t afford to repay them. We are already in so much debt. Sorry for rambling. Thanks for reading x

I can so relate and you are not being silly.
For seven years, I lived in a Victorian property and there were a few cracks in the walls and I think other areas. When I asked the Letting Agent about it, I was told it was the plaster expanding. I was still anxious and not convinced.
It is normal to feel anxious when you are unsure about something. Sending you positive thoughts.
Thank you for your kind reply.
Yes, this is me too. When my anxiety was bad, I was constantly monitoring cracks in the walls. I’d be checking outside to see if they went all the way through, I’d measure them and always be re-checking.
It’s not only cracks. Marks on the ceiling cause me anguish. Looking for slow leaks. Funny noises from the water tanks, are they going to explode. Thinking I heard a tile falling off the roof. It goes on.
With my anxiety under control now, I’m much more sensible, but can totally relate.
Thanks sleepy for your reply. It’s good to hear that others do the same. I’m glad you have it under control now. Hopefully I can get there soon also. I’m driving my poor husband bananas. He’s suggested getting a surveyor out to put my mind at ease but I’d be more worried he would confirm my fears.
