My building is shutting down water for maintenance tomorrow and I am scared shitless. This is because a shower and or bath is one of my primary coping mechanisms when I start to feel anxious. That being said I haven't had an attack or felt extremely anxious in quite a bit but the fact that I won't have this crutch available to me is causing me anxiety.

It's the classic anxiety disorder conundrum, you are anxious about something because you are afraid of having an anxiety attack. I hope I can just power through it because 8 hours is a long time funny thing is if I had a fucked up sleep schedule and could sleep through the day I would likely be fine, but funny enough I am on a perfect routine of falling asleep around 10-11 and waking around 6-7 so I will be wide awake for it all. 

I will have plenty of water to drink and whatnot, and I guess I am just going to fill a few bottles and have a few pots full and will just have them ready to boil and will use glasses to pour over my damn head if worse comes to worst.

This is one of those situations where a crutch and coping mechanism may work great for you but when you become reliant on it it can backfire. Unfortunately for me, water has become something I am completely fucked without, 

it's all stemming from the inability to swallow and the feeling of choking and the tension in the neck whenever I had attacks when I was younger drinking water, and or hot tea whatever was my go-to, it got so bad to where I now can't go anywhere without a container of water to have in case I "need" it.. Usually, it's to drink but sometimes I pour a little into my hand and put it on my forehead, and or splash it on my face.  

Oh and to cap all of this off, I have developed an extreme case of agoraphobia and haven't left the apartment in months so going out for the duration is off the books as well lol.
