Phobia What?

I just found out I have a fear of NOT being able to urinate... during a drug test/urinalysis. Hmmm... no phobia term for it yet, as far as I googled. Drug-Test Phobia. That's what I'll call it.

Yesterday, I had my medical exam for pre-employment with my new call center company. I don't know why I felt so stressed about the whole thing. Maybe it's because I was thinking I might have high blood pressure or they might discover I have some kind of sickness or something.

That's another of my phobias... fear of doctors (Iatrophobia). I don't like getting myself checked because I don't want to discover that I'm sick of something. I know, I know that's wrong. But, anyway, this is about my medical exam trauma yesterday.

I had to urinate, right, for the drug test. They had me pee into this bottle with a kinda narrow mouth, just like the bottle pictured on the left. And I don't have a normal-sized female thing down there (LOLz) so I didn't expect that it will really catch all my pee. And, disappointingly, I was only able to fill up 1/4 of the bottle.

Before that, I thought I can do it in just one attempt. Mai had to pee 3 times to get it right (LOLz). I thought I can do it just once.

So, we just decided to come back in the afternoon. I bought and gulped shake, soda, lots of water just to make sure I have ENOUGH for my next attempt.

On our way back to the clinic, I was so stressed. I don't want to come back just for that drug test.

We asked the nurse if I can have a wider container PLUS the bottle for the drug test. I said I'll just use the wider container first then I'll transfer the "contents" to the other bottle. She was okay with it so...

It was a SUCCESS! I wanted to jump for joy after I saw that bottle filling up after my first few squirts. LOLz.

Alright, too much information. It's just funny that I was stressing out because of that stupid drug test. I'm glad it's over.

Phew!
