Lol if i had seen it i would probably laugh too. I cant take baths because of the two seizures i had. I guess they worry about drowning while i bathe if it happens? But i worry about it happening and i fall and hit my head on the spout or something. My dog follows me in the bathroom when i shower, and he knows any time i black out, hes always there barking when i come back, but barking wont help if i hit my head on the shower. So i wait until my fiance is home and shower with the bathroom door wide open. The first couple of weeks after the first seizure, i made him sit in the bathroom while i showered, but i cant keep doing that to him. Poor guy is so worried about me, if i take longer than 5 minutes in the shower hes rushing in to make sure im ok. But hes learning that i feed into his fear and he feeds into mine, so i keep my fears to myself mostly now and he does the same.

I also cant use the restroom without leaving thedoor open when i am alone. I fear people breaking in when i do. Has made for some awequard moments when i dont hear my fiance coming in and there i am on the toilet, door wide open lol

But at 16-18 i was afraid of someone hiding under my bed, so much that i pushedvmy bed in between my door and bathroom, so i could jump on my bed without walking up to it. I slept with a butterknife under my bed, afraid i would sleep walk and do something bad to myself with the knife if it was any sharper, but i had to have something to protect me in case someone broke into my room on the third floor of the apartments. I was afraid of getting shot while in bed so when i would read, i had to lay flat on my bed to prevent being shot thrugh the wall.

Ive come a long way since teen years, but im realizing i have even longer to go
