I just wanted to throw a question out there....has anyone developed a phobia of some kind? I know I'm being vague, but i recently develped a phobia to the shower/water. This is so weird. When I get in I begin to panic and can't wait to get out. I have had a history long ago of panic attacks but not in the past 5 years. I get nauseated when I walk by the shower and don't even like to give my 3 year old a bath. I still am hygenic, thank you, but it is so uncomfortable to get in water...even the bathtub is very unapealing. This has just become noticable in the past month or so. I thought it might be related to a little depression but that seems to have moved on and the uneasyness still clings to me. I feel so weird...like, what is up, anyway?? Maybe i have rabies.


Dear 24hbipolar2,
I would recommend seeing your psychiatrist/psychologist if this persists much longer. If you are taking medications, perhaps this is a side effect, but if not, it is worth checking into.
Best of Luck,
