This really does work. Getting on a routine. I do the same thing. I always get up early enough before I go to work or just to start the day. That way I feel like I won't need to use the bathroom again until the next morning. Sometimes I still get anxious and scared I will feel like I have to go again when I get to work or out. If I don't think about it I'm okay. But once I start getting anxious about it, then my stomach starts hurting. Sometimes, I'm scared to go out with my friends to eat and then go somewhere else. I may have to go to the restroom. It's a vicious circle and hard to break. Good Luck.
