The Water And Its Warmth | 5 Minutes Free Write [Bath]
Have you ever had this kind of feeling of being in the moment and missing out at the same time?
Its like there's some kind of strange presence lurking around you that no one can see. It happens everytime I’m trying to be normal—just like everyone else.
This cold and rough presence will make you feel his existence by trying to embrace you, squeeze you,(?) and slowly you'll lose your air.
Only until you let out a slight squeak you'll be able to breathe again.
But its too late... you acted all weird and everyone just looked at you with fright on their face.
If you're having this kind of feelings too...
I hope you'll know that you are not alone.
That I am here.
I am like you.
And I may not have the reasons or ways to make it go,
But I know something that could make you feel safe somehow...
Fill your tub with hot water • Undress • Lower yourself slowly in the water • Stare in the ceiling—don't blink • Close your eyes • The water and its warmth will protect you.
You'll feel safe and normal, when you are in a hot bath.
You don't undress out of fear that your clothes will become wet. You undress because you want the water to touch you. You want to completely immerse yourself in the feeling of the water and to emerge anew.”

Thanks @enginewitty!
Hmm this was quite sad, I thought. I'm sorry you feel that way and I really hope it stops. I know the feeling of being suffocated by something that isn't there, but I try to keep it at bay.
Oddly enough, I've never been able to feel safe in the bath, I've always been terrified of monsters coming at me from the drains.
And since I know you'd love to get that keyboard cracking again, here's the latest prompt:

Woah I've never thought of it but I definitely had those feelings of being watched and feel like a strog being around. I'll try your solution
Just try to calm dear. You're stronger than your fear.
Thanks i'll try my best, sometimes i got those issues when i got a new wear of clothing or a new haircut. i feel like i'm well aware of the attention that i brought in, at the same time a realize that it's all on my head i must relax a little, since i started to go outside with earphones and headphones i can manage to ignore it with music :D
Ha ha! Good one! I feel normal all the time. Water or not :P
HAHAHA! Water or NOT.
