    Default I think I did something bad

    So this morning I had my therapy session, and I had rode my bike there. When I got in she asked if I wanted some water and I said yes . She said she got it from the bathroom sink just down the hall. In there was those little paper triangular cups. I got one and took a drink out of it... later realizing. Its IN the bathroom. What if some ones poop particles, or vomit particles are on it. What If I get sick from that? She, my therapist, said no one has been sick there. But still.... why did I take a cup of water from the bathroom. Its a small bathroom too. UGH. Now I am so scared I'm in this waiting game now. SHIT. I'm so mad at myself!
    If you try and tell me a phobia is unreal. I dare you to live a day, and feel what I have to feel.

    Hi there, I don't think you have too much to worry about. I don't think she would store the cups on top of the toilet. I did the same thing last week- I was freaking out, and my therapist said I needed some water to calm myself down. I was so anxious that I just drank the water she gave me. That was a week ago, so I ended up being fine!

    The paper cups in those dispensers are always inverted, so nothing can get inside them. You'll be fine, don't worry. Also, I doubt many people go to their therapist's bathroom while sick or even in the days afterwards. There is no risk, really.
