Before poo'ing i get real anxious.. anyone else?

[Dr.Who]

was poo the right word to use? my bad .. about 1/2 hour before a "bowel movement", i get real anxious and need something to eat or i fidget and get restless. i suppose thats not uncommon?

When I had my first couple of flares I would get anxiety attacks as I know the pain that was on its way!

I do as well, especially if I'm having a bit of pain when I go to the toilet. Also I get anxiety when I get a really bad stomach pain, I just think 'oh no, what is about to happen?'

Yep, same here. Definitely get anxious, but even more so when out and about, sometimes to the point where I just avoid going out entirely.

having a bm is the scariest thing in the world for me. I get sooo tensed every morning just because I have to go take a dump.

I get that as well, esp if I'm in a flare but yesterday I decided to treat myself to a spray tan (not much sun in Ireland) and I hadn't had a BM earlier in the day, then my mind started to run away with itself and all I could think of was I HAVE TO GO I HAVE TO GO and the spray was really cold which was making me tense up and shiver not a good look but I managed to fight my way out of that bad thought and it gave me such strength to know that for just once I got the upper hand on the fear.
