when I had my first lupus flare I was too anxious to go to the doctor until it got really bad I was in so much pain and I was so weak that after I took a bath I tried to get up and out and my legs were to weak and I fell out of the tub onto the bathroom floor and I couldn’t get up I laid on the floor crying til my mom got home and helped me up. And now I cannot have a bath without getting scared and anxious. I only have showers now :// I am also medicated for my anxiety now

Praying for strength and comfort for you as you battle Lupus. My mother has bone cancer and has had to call 911 to help her get out of the tub. Just know that you are not alone and there are many people that are willing to help. Please don’t be ashamed of this. Sending love from Georgia.

Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable experience. I can only imagine how terrifying that moment must have been for you! It’s completely understandable to feel anxious after going through something so painful and distressing.
It’s great to hear that you’re taking steps to manage your anxiety with medication. Healing takes time. It’s okay to lean on what feels safest for you right now, like taking showers instead of baths. Sending you lots of love and strength as you navigate this. Take all the time you need to heal. You’ve got this. Keep going. :black_heart:
