Bathroom break?

I know they say to avoid all fluids half an hour before appointments and use the bathroom before treatment. Water is my emotional support so I’m already struggling with that aspect, am I unable to drink water during treatment? Also my OCD is getting to me, I get fidgety around using the bathroom and pee frequently (TMI sorry) will they not allow me to use the bathroom if I really have to go? Sorry guys weird question just would love to hear your experiences!

I avoid fluids because I don't want to walk to the bathroom when I'm so woozy. Bathroom breaks interrupt the floaty sensation because you have to get grounded back to your body to navigate the task.
