Hi, it was nice hearing from you again. I actually went to a psychologist and she just said I had OCD. I don't believe that. I think it is an anxiety/phobia sometimes turns into almost a panic state (when I know I could go but can't) Yes, I do obsess over my bowels. It's constantly on my mind and rules my life. So maybe 1st-anxiety/phobia, then 2nd OCD. She said she had never had a patient like me. So where are all of us??? She wanted to start me on medication and therapy, but I don't want to take medication just to poop. It should be natural. I don't want to be like this the rest of my life. I am 46 yrs old. I do think what it may be doing to my body down the road. It can't be good for you to hold back..
One time I sent an e-mail to Dr. Phil, but had no response. I think this would be a very interesting subject. I am thinking about sending a letter to Oprah Winfrey. She has the money to try to help us. Maybe if everyone would write in to these people and reference this website, maybe they would take a look at it.
Take care, Kelli
