Is it possible to lose bowel control during a panic attack?

I have agoraphobia and panic disorder. I'm going to be in a situation where a restroom won't be available for an hour or so, so there's no way I can get to a restroom if I need to.





I was wondering if it is actually possible to lose control during a panic attack. Can you lose control? If you feel the need to go to the toilet, can your panic attack make you lose control of your bowels?





Thanks in advance.Is it possible to lose bowel control during a panic attack?
It's possible, but if you do, it's because of the self fulfilling prophecy :P You feared that you would...so you did.





No restroom? What about a bush? Or a tree? Or a car, even, for cover :P Don't worry about losing bowel control, because all you're doing is stressing out about a what-if situation that will likely never happen.

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.





Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.


But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There's this strange herb called ';St John's Wort'; - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John's Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.





The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced... you have that ';learned behavior'; in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction... There are several other techniques to help cope them!


Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to....

Girl I think that's in your head. Because this thought never crossed your mind until you found out you would be somewhere without a toilet. I highly doubt that would happen. Just make sure you go to the bathroom before you go and don't drink a lot. That's all you can do right?! :) Good luck!
i suppose anything is possible, but because of the nature of panic, it is highly unlikely that you would lose sphincter control.






Yes, it's possible. But you can climb above it. Tell yourself


you are going to be OK.





I admire you for going out with agoraphobia.
