Can it trick your mind into it? I had a loose stool this afternoon and that's ALL I'm thinking about and I went again this evening. I have two fears: pooping and throwing up. I'm scared that because I'm having loose stools that I'll throw up and I have the flu. Im a severe emotephobic. My bowels keep grumbling and I feel like I have to go and all I keep thinking about is going so i do. Is this my anxiety? My mind? I'm about to cut mysrlf. I can't take it.

Don't cut yourself as that won't help how you feel and any relief you may feel from that will not do you any good in the long run. I think the loose stool that you are having is due to anxiety. When I have bad anxiety my stomach is upset and I have to use the bathroom more than normal and when I do it's typically not solid. Are you working with a therapist or psychiatrist ? as they will be of great help when used together.
