So basically I never had this problem until I started school in real life again. I’ve asked r/Advice about this and tried all their suggestions but nothing seems to work. Basically the problem is that I seem to get really gassy/farty during school and I’d get the constant feel to poop all the time. I’d constantly leave class to use the bathroom, and I can see my teachers kind of getting fed up with it too. For some reason, I’ve noticed this happens only during school. During the weekends and breaks I’m fine. Heck I’ll even feel 100% fine after leaving my bus and getting home. I never really thought it was an anxiety issue until I’ve changed my diet and how often I eat and it still persists. I think it’s some sort of unconscious anxiety thing? It became very evident though the other day when I sat in the bus and was feeling all fine until my friend came and sat next to me and I started feeling nervous about her hearing the gases in my stomach or that I was gonna fart in front of her. This nervousness was followed by those symptoms I mentioned. I’ve also noticed that during louder classes or classes where I’m distracted by my friends, the symptoms aren’t as bad as they are when I’m sitting in a quiet class worried that my noises will be heard by everyone. Anyway these symptoms are really affecting my everyday life and making me feel even more depressed when I get to class. I no longer have the motivation to study or focus during class because I’m so focused on trying to control my stomach! I tried to calm myself down when I’m feeling this way, but of course just telling yourself “it’s going to be ok calm down” doesn’t really help all that much. So anyway, I’m wondering if this could be caused by anxiety? I mean at first it felt like it was caused by something else, but I started noticing it gets worse the more I start to worry. I’m also wondering if anyone else has this issue and how they handled it.
