Dear Survivor69, I'm sorry to hear how tough things are for you. You sound like you have good self-awareness and things you know that help you on your journey. So sorry to hear that you have a tumor. Have you got someone to support you and help you out physically while your husband is away, like the showering issue you mention?
Take care and GB, Kim :)

When you have an anxiety seizure, the one important difference is that gentle flow (like you're in the water) will help decrease the symptoms naturally fast.

I have seen the results of anxiety seizures up close, and have learned to do the meditation prior to facing a known trigger such as shower to help me focus on the important goal, take the shower safely.

Once you can separate the anxiety seizure symptoms from the rest of the symptoms, you can give your self some balance to help you through the rest of the challenge you face with the shower.

You are not alone in this.

Best wishes, and know you are stronger than you think!
