I'm happy that you are going to college and studying even though you have this problem. It makes me feel better about my decision to stay here. I sometimes feel like I wouldn't have to worry about this if I were at home, but then I would never do anything with my life. Actually, just last night, I was at a friend's house and my bladder felt full, so I went to the restroom, but I just couldn't go. It was no use. So I just flushed the toilet and went home. Oh, and the sick feeling! I know what you mean! The other day in class I couldn't concentrate at all because all I was thinking about was that I hadn't gone #2 in a long time, and I really felt sick. And I still couldn't go even though I KNEW I had to, and I got really sad and mad and all that. Oh, that feeling is terrible. I finally went when I got home and my roommate left. I feel better knowing that you and I both share very similar situations. I want you to feel happier and not be bothered by toilet phobia so much. I know it's hard. I mean, I can't just say "Oh, I'm not gonna let it bother me today!" Because that one day in class, it was all I could think about and I could not help it. But just understand that you'll be okay and maybe this site will help us both find some advice for getting over paruresis and parcopresis! I hope this message makes you feel better, Lory!!
