Hello my heart goes out to you. The shower gives people reasons for concern, by the way it affects them. Anxiety is at the top. Have you tried opening the door or window so that you can feel in control? It’s important that you remember to breathe.
I struggle with the humidity, so I frequently open a window an inch or two, or to open the bathroom door. Some days, I have to even pull the shower curtain open for an inch or so, just to get air. We don’t have a fan in there and our bathroom is too small to bring a floor fan in.
Here is a link on managing anxiety that will hopefully help you: https://copd.net/living/managing-anxiety
