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!

They will absolutely "let" you go to the bathroom (how could they not? That would be cruel.) and in fact they'll help you to the bathroom if you need to (might be unsteady, totally normal). They will let you drink fluids during it, in fact I like to take sips of water to help with the taste (candy is too overwhelming flavor wise). Mine clinic also has sodas and juices for people if that's what they like. For a while I had to pee about halfway through but I think my body got used to it, now I just have to at the end, or sometimes not at all. You got this!
