You don’t have to be embarrassed about this issue. I would guess that you could look for irrational thoughts within your fear. Why do you think you need to use a toilet? Does the toilet represent something more to you than a place to relieve yourself? Is it a safe spot or something? How long have you been having this type of feeling? What do you think would happen if you were away from a toilet for an hour or two? How far from a toilet are you comfortable being?

I am not a doctor or therapist, I just have some good problem solving skills. I am glad that you felt comfortable to talk about this here, that is a great first step. You may need help from a professional that deals with this type of fear or obsession.

It sounds like you may have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Thisis a very common problem affecting about 20% of the population. You will find a lot of information about it on the internet. You should try to see a gastroenterologist to confirm that this is what it is. There is also an Irritable Bowel Syndrome section of Health Unlocked. Type it into the search box of the Health Unlocked home page. Depression and stress can make it worse. You do not have to be embarrassed. You will find many posts about diarrhea on the IBS site.

Hey friend,

Thanks for sharing, first of all that you ARE embarrassed about this, but also thanks for sharing it in spite of being embarrassed. It seems like it took you courage to post that ----- of course, I don't know your whole story/situation, but I'm proud of you for just sharing.

My Very Best to you. <3 HUGS & FRIENDSHIP.
