i noticed that i make myself nervous by worrying if i go out at night that i am going to have to go to the bathroom. in turn, this makes me go very badly. but when i am home or somewhere familiar i am perfectly fine and dont have to go. how do i stop this? even if i go before i leave the house, i make myself sick by worrying that i am going to crap myself and then eventually i do. this only happens when im out, never at home.

Im the exact same way. I get anxiety when Im away from home but what I do that helps is as soon as I walk into a place I look for the bathrooms. Knowing where there are and that Im close by makes me feel better and gets my mind off of it. Just tell yourself if you have to go you know where the bathroom is and that youll plenty of time have to make it there.

Work on the urgency symptoms. Have you tried rectal meds?

yes i have. they get better a little when im on them i think. i havent used them in two days. maybe that was the cause?

i found that wearing Depends helped me get over this. even as i was feeling better and not needing to go all the time when out, i still wore them just in case. it made me feel MUCH more comfortable about leaving the house. eventually i started wearing underwear again and now i don't get nervous.
