The super just came up, and snaked my drain, which has made the water level go down but he's going to have to come back tommorow morning with more equipment. Seems the people who fixed my shower the *last* time something went wrong installed a drain cover that is almost immovable! He said he is going to call the mangement to find out what to do.
WEll at least I am not in imminent danger of having a tidal pool of sewage overrun my apartment. I talked about this problem in CBT this morning and my therapist and I discussed probable outcomes vs. worst case scenarios (i.e., the tidal pool situation). You see I've destroyed apartments in my time, through the almost unbelievable absent-mindedness of severe ADHD: I've left not only sinks running, but i've also left SHOWERS running full blast as I left the apt. That was in my unmedicated times, though, and as my therapist pointed out, water damage is a lot more likely when it is actively coming out of a tap or shower, not merely welling up from a drain (however gross that truly is). I was a lot more confident around my super because I felt that I was so much less 'out of it' than I was the time I left the shower running. I guess you can all understand that.... Thanks again for the support!
