[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry OP your situation sounds very anxiety provoking. I am used to stepping out if I need to while at the office. I don't think there are any other professions where you are unable to leave as needed to use the bathroom. [/quote]

I'm not a teacher, but I also have a profession where I often don't have bathroom access. For me, though, it's not just that I can't leave, it's that no bathroom exists where I am. (I'm active duty and we often go out on a bus and do a ceremony or event where there is not a bathroom available for hours at a time.) A lot of us have these fears, like you do, especially if you have one bad day and then it really gets to you. I always carry pepto and imodium and do a bland, safe diet in the lead up to an event. But I can see that if it's every single day, that wouldn't be as useful. For me, most of it is anxiety. I really only have stomach issues when I'm nervous, so addressing that through meditation, mantras, and CBT therapy has been key.

If you're having frequent issues, I'd see your doctor for sure. [/quote]
