Serious question about public restrooms.?
So one of my fears is using the bathroom (#2) when my roommates are in our apartment. This leads to me having to hold it which, as you probably know, is not good. I was wondering where a good public place to go to when I have to do my business would be besides like a restaurant. For example, all I can think of is a hotel lobby bathroom, though those are usually pretty nasty. I am being totally serious too, and don't tell me to just go in our apartment because I can't - it is a huge phobia of mine and yes I will seek counseling but until then what am I supposed to do? Does anyone have any suggestions of where I should go?

there are a lot of public restrooms:
*library restrooms
*mall/shopping center restrooms
*gas station restrooms (not usually too sanitary though)
*apartment complex offices (restrooms)
* church restrooms
*park restrooms (may be unsanitary)
*business office restrooms (but some may not be available to public, but not all)
*warehouse restrooms

Hello! Everyone poops and it smells and your roommates know it. Don't be shy about it because eventually they will ask questions and wonder why you need to go somewhere else to handle things and this is what will make them think weirdly about you. Don't worry what people think everyone and I mean everyone understands going to the bathroom. If you spray something light a match or best do it before showering no one will even notice. Trust me they are not sitting around say omg ... Just blew up the bathroom ew gross. They don't care. You seem in the state of mind that you have accepted this fear and don't want to confront it and move forward. Onece you do you will feel sooooo much better and more comfortable and open to things. Your life should not be consumed with going to the bathroom. I bet if you were all hanging around and you or someone else said I have to goooo to the bathroom it would turn into a big understanding laugh. If you are rooming with a bunch of fake stuck up bitches they may try to hide it but you should really address this issue. One of my friends and my favorite topics is bathroom stories and trust me we go into detail. I'm 25. Public restrooms are gross and I have a fear of poopig in them and I'm more afraid of walking out and them knowing. It's always better to do it around people you are comfortable with so make good friendships and go for it and you will honestly see its not a big deal and you can't live your life in fear of doing a natural thing that EVERYONE does usually on a daily basis. I hope I've helped:)

Most people are like that too. I usually go somewhere busy but clean so it doesn't seem as obvious.

Espresso stores or speedy food locations. They're more accepting of persons jogging in and using the toilet, now not like in a restaurant where you have to purchase something. Also public restrooms in some cities, in places like department stores or instruct stations. In the event you are living close a public library, they have toilets, as do Wawas/gas station kind places. I have a tip for you... Try turning on the shower in the bathroom at the same time you go number 2, then your roommates cannot hear you! They simply believe you're showering! Then pour a little bit of scented shampoo into the sink or toilet so the room smells like shampoo.
