Hey update guys
I tried telling my mom i wanted a appointment for my anxiety and panic attacks she told me ot would get better as soon as i lost weight and gained confidence which im not denying it probably will
But i didnt / couldnt tell her that it was about this issue idk what to do now
Can i get through this on my own i know theres nothing wrong with me to be going to a psychiatrist but i want to go for my own reassurance so i can say ive been and recieved external help instead of normally keeping things to myself
Also even tho ive left college this week ive managed to get an appointment with the counsellor at college for next week thursday i was originally going to go for panic attacks anxiety and low self esteem idk whether i should mention this to him or not.
Its going to be my first time going and well idk what/ how to say things or what to expect that and the session only lasts 20 mins and hes a guy lol

You don't need your mum's permission or approval to go and see the GP, you can make it yourself, it'll be okay.
Why not print out a leaflet on toilet anxiety, then you can just hand it to your GP or the counsellor, it may be easier for you.

Hi, I know this is very late but I'm 15 and I just wanted to say that I deal with this too. For the one thing I have a 'shyness' so I can't use the toilet with other people nearby which is always embarrassing. It also takes me about a minute to actually start peeing. And I constantly need the loo. Now, on some days I'm okay with going to the loo once or twice but some days my bladder just never ever feels empty and I constantly need to go to the loo even if barely anything comes out. It's embarrassing and annoying and I hate it so I know how you feel :-(
Reading your post is like a mirrored version of my life! I had this so bad I quit working. However that led me to start education again. I managed to get over the worst of the anxiety before but still struggle. I came across this post as I'm starting University in two weeks which is worrying me because of the toilet anxiety. I think a lot of it can be due to worrying about the new unknown environment, I have to know exactly where the nearest toilet is to me at all times so I find myself turning down parties, nights out etc as I'm afraid of an accident (even though it's never happened).
If you'd want, we can message each other through email about this, which could really help.
