I am so glad you made those posts about this and I love how open you are about it! I started struggling with this about 2.5 years ago (I am now 22) and found you one day when I had the courage to actually start googling it. Love from Kentucky ❤️
Yes! I love this. The more we try to ignore the thoughts, the louder they get. But to say 'yep, thank you!', our worries quieten. Bit like a toddler... 🤣
So interesting you said yours started with a job. Mine did too, I was a cashier at Whole Foods and it was basically implied that you wouldn’t ask. What kind of job was yours, if you don’t mind sharing? I work from home now which helped my toilet anxiety immensely, but something that helps me a ton if I have an early flight or something is to stop eating early the night before and to have really low fiber foods like white rice or something. Controlling any factors I can so at least I set myself up for the best scenario 💟💟💟
For me it started with pee anxiety at 9 after having an accident in the car and it was very traumatic. It developed into poo anxiety after the age of 11 when I noticed that pooing myself was also a possible option… Im 20 now and its become crippling the past 2 years. My body completely shut down from stress, had a full on collapse.
Here is the reason behind your problem and also, how to become normal again - Because of some reason, you are constantly thinking, focusing and getting anxious about bowel movement all the time. This leads to an imbalance in the secretion of amount of hormones that regulate the process of bowel movement. Whatever that goes in our mind is directly related to the hormones in our body. Hormones are furthur directly related to the feelings we have. Thus, an imbalance in hormones causes an imbalance in feelings and this is exactly why you are feeling to get fresh all the time. You can become normal again but you will need to fix your thought process at first! Follow these steps- 01. Start by practicing on relaxation techniques. Tell yourself to "calm down and relax and everything is alright" whenever you feel like getting fresh again and again. 02. The less you think the better it is. But whenever you think, try to think clearly and don't be confused...

I have a question for anyone with toilet anxiety. Have you ever had an urge to do your business so bad that you had to risk being arrested for public indecency because you physically couldn't overcome your fear of using a public toilet?
