sunflowersea Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Hi all. I’m in a real panic right now. Due to an external issue there is no water at our house. No taps, flushing toilets etc. This is a HUGE trigger for me as I can’t wash my hands, go to the toilet when I need to (IBS). I’m quite literally panicking panicking panicking panicking. We have quite a few large bottles of water and have already finished one from one hand wash (contamination ocd hand washing). Not being able to go to the toilet (IBS). Hugely anxiety provoking, also due to contamination ocd and it then causing a sore tummy and having emetephobia. I don’t know what to do Link to comment
howard Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Run!! No but it must be a nightmare. I'd love to go camping, I actually enjoy it, but I'd need an en suite. Link to comment
Keyboard Worrier Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I had a similar issue recently, totally unexpected so no prep time or estimated end time etc. Not fun, and has since caused more OCD/Anxiety issues after confirming how poorly I'd cope with that situation. It sounds like you had some warning for this, with the water bottles etc. So is there an end time to aim for? If you can go to a friend/relative/shop nearby for the loo that might help reduce the anxiety bit? (Wasn't possible for me due to other issues.) Link to comment
