Come go to the bathroom with me in the middle of the night ✨
Come, go to the bathroom with me in the middle of the night. I woke up at 03:47 a. M. And knew right away I was going to have to pee, but like always, I tried to hold it in and fall back asleep. After about fifteen minutes of tossing and turning, I finally accepted that I would have to get out of bed and head to the bathroom, but it was completely rank. So seeing was definitely an issue for me. Despite not being able to see very well, I was able to use my hands to guide me down the hallway. I did end up having an intrusive thought that there was a robber in my apartment with a gun, but the bathroom tiles were so cold that I got distracted from any negative thoughts. I did pee for about fifteen seconds with a steady flow and decided not to flush the toilet because it's a little too loud and scares me at night. Walking back to my bedroom was easy since my eyes finally adjusted and crawling back into bed with an empty bladder felt amazing. Love you guys.
