For well over a year I've become obsessed with my bowel and urinary system. It started out after a driving test I failed and shortly before job interviews I'd get the urge to go. I've had loose stools, going 5 times a day, feeling the urge to urinate, even lately constipation.
I keep thinking about these symptoms and when I do immediately they worsen. I keep worrying about "maybe it's an undetected illness". I just can't get the idea out my head when I leave the house what if I need, what if I wet myself health worries have been about everything related to the toilet.
So maybe it's alot of anxiety. I just need to be free of that toilet being my comfort zone. Anybody else had this in the past and what's a therapist's view on it? How do you get your life back? I'm getting these issues in the same way a panic attack would form. Instead I get less panic but more of these issues at the moment.
I'm quite unmotivated when it comes to proper sleep and relaxation so do I need to try harder? How can I get over this and get my normal life back? At the moment a normal toilet trip causes anxiety, like most of them do.
