Hello folks,

I have not dealt with these issues myself but I read this thread and want to reach out to all of you. It is horrible that you have to deal with all that fear and turmoil just to complete the simple act of using a toilet. I can only imagine how stressful and saddening that is for you.

I apologize on behalf of the world that some people have forgotten what really matters in life. I hope in time things will change and get better for all of you and the world will start understanding. Someone once told me: for every problem there is a solution. This toilet problem seems to me to be something the world could easily resolve with some creativity and grace.

I don't know if any of you are open to speaking with a therapist but I recommend it because what you're going through sounds excruciating. Therapy has helped me with depression and anxiety. Also, meditation and acupuncture.

Sorry if my post seems off-topic. I just want you to know that I care and you have my empathy and support

Peace to you.
