For years and years when I was younger, I would not poop for days or weeks at a time... for no reason at all. I would definitely get urges to go, but then I would cross my legs and squeeze my butt muscles so it wouldn't come out and so I wouldn't have to go to the bathroom. I can recall a few times when I went in the bathroom because I had an urge, but I only stood there and held it in, then I came out of the bathroom without flushing and said "I thought I had to go, but I didn't." Only a few years ago did I start making myself go everytime I got an urge, and now that I'm in college, I don't get urges often (all the people on campus and roommates and such) and it sucks, as you all know. I have no idea WHY I used to hold my poop in, but I did, and it may have helped cause my parcopresis. However, I have no idea what caused my paruresis. I never remember holding in my pee. I don't know. I get upset when I think about causes of these disorders, so I try to keep my mind on the future, like, "I don't care how I got it. I have it, and I'm going to get rid of it."
