Scary to make a bowel movement because I was constipated last week and now I don't know if I'm constipated or just scared to go anyone dealth with this before?

Yes the whole world has dealt with this as it happens to everyone from time to time. Why does it worry you so much? It it keeps happening then see about adding more fibre, fruit, vegetable etc. to your diet as this should help.

Because when I get constipated I take exlax but this time I'm scared that its not good to take them or it will be side effects

Well best to tweak your diet then.

I find most antidepressants make me constipated added to codeine tablets I take am and pm. Sometimes extra fibre does not work so I use glycerine suppositories.

Just keep eating, doubt it will be your choice at the end, haha.

But seriously - these problems easily solved with drinking a lot of water. That's it. Be super hydrated. It's a weird topic, but I have had the funniest and scariest situation myself - had constipation and then diarrhea on top of that - jesus I thought I will literally die (not even anxiety, I was in pain). And eventually I just decided to drink about a liter (1/3 gallon) of water and thankfully it worked. So yes - water. solves most things.
