Panic attack in the bathroom

I had the most unpleasant morning today. I was staying at my sister's house for the weekend and we all know in the family that the toilet in the house has some problems. Normally I would go to the nearest mall just to use their bathroom because I can't handle our toilet. Today tho it was different and I had to use the bathroom in the house and as to be expected it won't go down. I have been in the bathroom for over an hour trying to fix it over and over and it won't work. It got so bad that the toilet was leaking on the sides from being flushed so much and from that moment I started crying and hyperventilate. I didn't want my sister to get angry at this again, I hated anger, I hated people being angry, it was my biggest trigger and I want to avoid it as much as I can. I tried to contact my support network of friends but no one answered. I haven't felt to alone and helpless is a very very long time. I don't know how if I can ever use that bathroom again.

Hi your sister must be a most unreasonable person to get angry coz you are having problems with her dodgy toilet! I hope you managed to escape without any problems.

If this was me and she got angry I would just tell her to get the b***** toilet fixed. If she got angry with you over this just decide never to stay at her place again! x
