Toilet phobia

[Running23]

New to this-
Hi ladies so in 2011/12 I suffered with this dreadful fear I had cbt and overcame it. However it has returned with avengence. I have read a few post about this so I do not feel alone in this. My toilet phobia has taken over my life again literally I rarely leave the house only when absolutely necessary. I fear that I will not make it to a toilet , and when there are toilets around I then fear that I will need to keep going! I cannot go out in the car with my partner which is horrible because I only see him at weekends. I can't take my children to the park or to parties Etc. even knowing that I can get home when I need to still puts me on edge and panic Hence making the symptoms worse :(, I am due to start a course of intense cbt in about 4weeks but need that push to expose In between. Is anyone else afraid to leave the house?! Tia

Hi running.

I don't have any experience, but am hoping to have some cbt for the first time for a v.obsessive health anxiety. I'm the opposite in that i feel worse at home so home doesn't feel "safe" at the moment, but it must be equally awful the other wsy around.

Try and stay positive, you say the cbt worked last time so hopefully the intensive course will work quickly this time?

Has anything triggered it coming back?

Hi yes I do suffer from ibs and this is what triggered it this time. Fingers crosses I will be bette soon. And sorry to hear that home dosent feel Safe. I have suffered with health anxiety myself my anxieties seem to swap and change once I recover from one. But you will get there with cbt x
