does anyone else have phobias about toilets?


Question:
I do, and it's to the point where I can't go into a public toilet even if I really needed to..I break out in a sweat.go into panic attack mode.am I alone in this weird phobia?

Answers:
I have the same problem. I will try like heck not to use a public bathroom. Now sometimes when I got to go, huh.I got to go. It's funny cause I will not sit my butt on the toilet what so ever. I will go to the handicap stall and hold on to the rails. My butt never touches the toilet seat. Who knows whats been on that seat.

Other Answers:
I don't like a lot of people around when I go.
It is a private thing.

I don't have it as bad as you do but I really can't stand public toilets. What I really hate is when there are droplets on the seat. ugh, drives me fuc*kin crazy. If I have to go REALLY bad then I just suck it up and fire it out real quick. here it is!

so no big.


I'm not phobic, but when I'm in strange public restrooms I always look around for the camera or the peepholes. I don't know if I would say I'm phobic. I also don't know what your specific phobia is. I won't go into a public toilet if there are too many people (esp. children), because I become too tense. I don't have to mention the particulars of why that negates the purpose of the trip.

Another angle Re: public toilets

When I find a restroom that provides those sanitary paper toilet covers to sit on, I take a few extra and tuck them in my purse for next time. Just a thought. Oh, also, carry baby wipes. Not only good for self-hygiene, but you can wipe the seat down before sitting. This works best and is most practical for me!
