Potty Time

I have anxiety over going to the bathroom. I assure you this post is not going where you might think. Whatever apparatus is necessary to hold my toilet seat securely on has snapped off so now my toilet seat is no longer firmly attached to the toilet. This causes a problem because when one is perched on said seat, it tends to slide around with the slightest movement from the percher. I fear two possible outcomes: 1) that the seat will slide out from under me and I will fall into the toilet with a splash and possibly become stuck, or 2) that the seat will slide out from under me and I will fall off of the toilet, possibly midstream, creating a mess and bruising my bum. So now I find myself very gingerly positioning myself appropriately, grasping the towel rack with one hand and the side of the vanity with the other to steady myself so I can do my business without incident. I'm not sure what to do about this problem, but I'm thinking duct tape.
