Anxiety Disorders Support Group

I don't know really what is wrong with me but I think it's anxiety. I can't be around alot of people or places with no bathroom access or fly. I get very nervous that I might have to use the bathroom and that's when it goes down hill. I am also moving out of the country to go to pastry school and I terrified that I will have to stop what I'm doing in class to go to the bathroom. I don't know what to do. I also have a fear of medication since it ruined my moms life. I'm just so scared......

Sounds like you have anxiety related to other issues.... most anxiety is BODY worry IE-heart attacks,passing out, stroke ect...

Not that yours isnt it sure does sounds like some type but of course I am not a doctor..

What have you done to try and cope with it??

Therpay?Meditation?Yoga?Diet?CBT?ACT?Belley Breathing ect?

There are TONS of natural treatments of anxiety of course they dont have the BLAM! fix it for the moment right now affect as meds (which I agree are not the best choice for everyone always for sure!)

What natural things have you tried to help?

Mostly Imodium don't know of any natural solutions

Plex..do you have irritable bowel syndrome? I know that is how my panic and anxiety started also was the worry about bathrooms. When my IBS got better so did my anxiety. Now they are both creeping back! My dad always tells me not to worry that there are bathrooms all over the world but I just cannot accept this! It's horrible! So sorry you have to go through this too! Just the other day I was headed to a friends house that is being renovated and they didn't have a working bathroom so..I called a friend who lives down the road and asked her if she would be around "just in case" horrible isn't it!
