My therapist thinks its a trauma from my past. I've had a lot of trauma, so I'm not sure. I did almost drown when I was 8 or so. But I've had domestic violence, oh just lots of trauma.
This anxiety about bathing started one day when I was listening to my favorite band in the bath and all of the sudden I had panic attack. Just out of nowhere. Now listening to my favorite band makes me anxious.
What the f is wrong with me?

I致e had the exact same problem with bathing. I also have issues with showering although not to the same extent.
I was listening to my favourite piece of classical music and suddenly I thought
******TRIGGER HIDING DIDNT WORK********TRIGGER
[trigger] one day I知 going to kill myself while listened to this piece of music. Holding my breath became a favourite past time of mine regardless of whether I was up or down /trigger]

We dealt with the issue by removing the bathtub when we renovated the bathroom. I think my family are more relaxed without one.
