Aafraid of Bathrooms

by Brittney

Hi I'm Brittney, I'm 16 years old. I have been afraid of bathrooms since I was little. I associate everything that scares me with bathrooms even if they have nothing to do each other.

I won't use the bathroom at night or use public rest rooms unless there's someone nearby. If I have to go bad enough at night I will, but I won't flush the toilet or turn off the light.

I often find myself running in fear from the bathroom. You see, I also have an over-active imagination so if I imagine something scary is in the bathroom it feels like it's actually there and I have to run from it.
