Having problems with shower
Hello!I am amazed that other people are feeling this.I thought that I had the worst anxiety ever!It's comforting to know that you're not alone.I mean I'm surrounded by "normal"people and they all think that I'm crazy!It hurts me so bad because I know that I'm not.I just haven't learned how to control my thoughts,feelings,and my reaction to things.They just don't understand.Linda that's exactly how I feel in the shower and then of course I obsess about it and it sets the cycle all day.I'm just down right sick of it!God Bless everyone

I agree that keeping the shower door ajar or the curtain open helps as well as running the exhaust fan in the bathroom and most importantly turn that temperature to the water down!!!!!! The warmer the water the warmer you feel (like in a sauna) and you feel those feelings of bewilderment and ickyness.
Keep at it and pushing through these feelings and they will go away.

Hello!
For the first 4 or 5 months when my anxiety got extremely sever I ouwldnt take a shower until my husband got homw. I dont think he even realized it but I told him. He has been very supportive and I am sorry you havent been getting that from yours. I think sometimes when people dont know how to help they act out in mean ways. They actually get angry because they cant fix you are the problem. I have been getting much better and have forced myself to do things daily. It was scary to say the least. I started slow and didnt put to much pressure on myself. I even had trouble walking out to my mailbox. That was my first step. After a while things got easier for me and its only because I forced myself to do it. You need to thicken your skin easier said then done, I know, and force yourself to a. not believe the verbal abuse you recieve because you know it is nonsense because he is obviously insecure not you, and B. force yourself to do things that you are afraid of. I am happy to say that I am now driving and doing things. I am really starting to feel free again! Keep your chin up! Its just anxiety that you are creating, no big deal! XOXO
