Hi, I am sorry you are feeling this way. I am sure this is incapacitating you and making you feel weak in a lot of ways. I am sure it’s taking away your confidence as well. It looks to me that there is some subconscious fear that is triggering your poop and pain. There is some deep fear about something that is stored in your system and that has gotten triggered recently. We will have to create a safe space and then allow it to release and further support you to process these emotions. Once the emotions are processed your fears will be subsided and your body will move into an ease-ness and these anxieties and fears will subside completely. You’re brave! Stay

I can work on these anxieties and fears to make you feel better. Love and healing ❤️

Anxiety is a very common cause of bowel issues and irritating bowel symptoms. It seems from your symptoms that you are going through extreme stress and anxiety. I would suggest treating cause of anxiety as it could be the reason behind this.

Hi
It could be stress and anxiety that is causing you to think about poop whenever you go out. When the body is under extreme stress there is an increase in stress hormone cortisol and adrenaline. Wanting to use the washroom is the body’s reaction to extreme stress. You also worry about having acidity and pains in different parts of the body. It seems like you could have extreme fears and anxieties about health. You also have anxious thoughts about whether you might need to use the washroom when you go out. To feel better you will have to work on managing your stress and anxiety levels. A psychologist will help you manage stress and anxiety levels. Do not worry with counselling sessions you will feel calm.
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist
Health Tips
Contact me for counselling session. Along with counselling I can suggest natural foods to calm the mind.

Hi... Severe anxiety may cause these symptoms but is always wise to consult a doctor (psychiatrist/physician) to rule out any physiological cause (like, IBS, etc.).
Treatment of anxiety mainly consists of psychotherapy/counselling in most cases. Whereas medications can be used as and when absolutely necessary.
These symptoms of yours will go away within 15-20 sessions (weekly basis) of psychotherapy/counselling.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Lifestyle Changes and Interpersonal Guidance and Counselling is required.
