About a month or so ago I posted a thread asking if anyone else freaks out in the bathroom, especially if it is closed and small. Anyway, I was gettig so crazy that I only wanted to be in a large, public restroom or have the door open.
It's getting better. I do not have an instant panic attack as soon as I get into the bathroom. The other day my tummy was not great at all (darn IBS) so I got to spend the better portion of the day in the bathroom. Anyway, I handled it all quite well considering I felt like my gut was trying to digest a porccupine. I kept with the deep breathing and (don't laugh) found that it helped to put my Ipod on before entering. That whole music calms the savage beast thing I guess.
Anyway, I still get a little freaked out in the bathroom, but it's not as bad as it was.
My stress level is overall decreasing though because the semester is over! Yay!!
