Does anyone here have a shy bladder or bowel.
I find I can’t pee at a urinal at all, and have trouble going in the stall in public washrooms if someone else is in the washroom with me. I know it’s a psychological problem but it just won’t come out, any tricks for dealing with this? When I am at home and alone I don’t have any problems going to the bathroom so I know it’s not a physical problem, it’s only when other people are around and can hear or see me peeing, I just can’t go, even if I really have too!
Same with bowel movements, I can’t go unless I am at home. I spent 5 months in a mental health facility and only went once. We were allowed to go home on the weekends and when I got home I would unload but while I was in the facility I didn’t even have the urge to go all week long. The one time I went it was because I didn’t come home for the weekend so I was there for 2 weeks straight, and it was laboured. They put me on medication to move my bowels but it didn’t work.
Anyone have any tricks to overcome the obvious psychological problem I have with going to the bathroom if I’m not alone and at home.
