In Bulgaria, my country, doctors know nothing about parcopresis, even now when I type in in bulgarian in Google I get 0 results.
This condition made my childhood a real nightmare. Doctors and my parrents thought I had constipation and were giving me enemas. The truth is I culd not have a bowel movement at the day care, later at school because of all the people around. I simply could not relax and initiate the deffecation. I felt guilty that other children can do it and I can't.
We were 5 people at home and one toilet so the possibility of moving my bowels without having anybody around was close to ZERO.
I was getting so constipated that I started soiling my underwear. My parrents thought I did it by purpose and made me feel fuilty for not being normal. My schoolmates were cruel - they were beating and mocking me, turning my life into misery... I had so much stress at school that it impaired my physical development and I suffer the consequences even today, 30 years later...
How I wish my parrents and doctor knew this...
So, tell me people how you cope with this condition?
You know what I did? I built an outhouse, right in the garden. So now I can enjoy beautiful view with all the privacy you can get (there are no neighbours around, thanks God! ) plus all the health bennefits of a squatting toilet
