I feel the urge to go to the bathroom when I'm anxious. Now, I'm not even daring to go out. What should I do?

Hello!

Your description is like looking at myself 3 years ago. I feel for you. Let me hug you.

You came here to find a solution, which shows you're aware and reflect on the problem. This is the start of change. Don't give up; you'll get better.

Next, we'll solve the problem.

The questioner gets nervous and wants to go to the bathroom, so they don't go out. They plan their routes in advance. If they don't plan, they don't go out.

The OP gives an example: he feels uncomfortable when he hesitates on the subway, but it gets better when it starts moving again.

Be aware of how long this has lasted and when it first started. Do you remember what happened then?

Does this happen when you go out? Are there any exceptions?

Most people feel the need to go to the bathroom when they're nervous. However, this feeling may be stronger when they're on stage, during an interview, or in other formal situations. If this is the case for the questioner, they can seek professional psychological counseling to explore the reasons behind it.

Seeking counseling doesn't mean you have a problem. It means you have emotions that need to be resolved. If you have a problem, a counselor won't help you. Only normal people seek counseling.

If you overcome this problem, what will you do to achieve your goal? How will you feel if you achieve your goal?

Who will notice your change?

I don't know your situation, so I'll give you some advice:

Exercise

Exercise releases dopamine, which makes us happy. Exercise can improve mood, make people happy, and prevent and treat stress.

When you feel down, get moving. Go for a walk or a run.

Hippocrates said, "Sunshine, air, water, and exercise are the source of life and health."

Exercise helps with mood and healing.

Positive thinking

Believe in yourself. When you face challenges, don't give up.

Say "I can do it," "I'm great," or "I can do even better." Repeat confident words to yourself to improve your self-confidence.

Psychological research has confirmed this.

③ Breathe deeply.

The next time you feel this way, take a deep breath and close your eyes.

Believe you can do it.

Believe in yourself. Confidence is important. It affects your career and love life. It makes you happy and gives you strength. Believe in yourself to fulfill your dreams and love others.

Confidence leads to courage and success.

⑤ Celebrate small wins.

In your daily life, whenever you have a small success or get feedback, write it down in a gratitude diary. You can look back on it later.

To become stronger, we must confront difficulties, failures, pain, pressure, and risks.

I used to be nervous and unable to speak in crowds. I have been studying psychology for 5 years. I have really changed and feel more comfortable in crowds.

Don't give up. We will find our breakthrough and things will get better.
