Hello everyone. Does anyone else have trouble with bathroom issues? I’m afraid to leave the house sometimes for fear of having to go. I also have trouble going if someone is in the other room. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Bathroom issues
As far as having trouble going when someone is in the other room, I think that is a very common thought. It is a very personal thing to do, and a lot of people don't want someone else to hear or be aware that they are using the bathroom.
You could run the faucet or flush the toilet several times if you need to. I hope you feel more comfortable soon!
I have been super afraid to use the bathroom. Not because of other people hearing me but because of germs. For the past year I’ve only been able to use the bathroom at my home or in my shared apartment on campus. I haven’t been able to use any public bathrooms.
Yes I have same issues but like scc1 says it's a very common thought. Even to the point I would go home in my lunch break just to go to the loo. I even made excuses not to go out on a night out or be out on a day trip for fear of needing the loo. But I won't let it rule my life anymore. If I hear someone come in while I'm in the cubicle I flush the loo few times. Try not to let it spoil your life x
