for some reason i have to go #2 at the most weird, awkward times, well for me. like in class for instance.. so it makes me nervous to even go to school!.. i think it happened once and now i am just so paranoid that i feel like i have to go everytime! is it possible i am "making" myself have to go? it is getting in the way of how i act and feel, its really so upsetting that i feel i cant even go to school and not have to worry about it!.. hopefully someone knows what i mean..

Nervousness?

Yes, the brain can have a huge effect on the rest of the body. Especially for those of us who are natural worriers, worrying about something can make it happen. On the other hand, I've generally found that when you grit your teeth and do the thing anyway, you discover it's not as bad as you feared.

yeah i am def. a natural worrier! but thank you..

same here mate, although mine started about 9 years ago, and i haven't really got over it. Not liking public toilets doesn't exactly help the situation either. Being nervous seems to affect my bowels as well, which is quite bad when you worry about when you'll be able to go. So if anyone has any hypnosis tapes on how to get over this, I'd greatly appreciate it :P
