Hi guys!
I have a slight case of OCD and major Generalized anxiety disorder (very claustrophobic and panic attacks in certain situations).
I am fully functional and friendly and everything else any ordinary person would be, but will be needing some little extra help in some situations:
1. Washrooms and showers.
My need is: someone to watch the door for me, as I do not want to lock the doors (cannot do that due to anxiety/claustrophobia) and also being in an unknown/unfamiliar place (causes a lot of anxiety when on my own), will need somebody that can help me during showering times (preferably my partner or someone of my same gender) that can watch the door for me and talk to me if I get overly nervous in the shower stall (just holla at me from the door so I know I am not alone).
Does anybody have any advice on this?
As I said, I AM fully functional, but just need some little support here and there. I never hesitate to extend a hand in help to someone who may need it also, but wonder if the albergues are OK with people with mental health issues and their special needs?
Cheers and thanks for reading!
