    My problem too. Certain situations make me panic when I feel I cannot make an easy exit, that panic makes me need the toilet instantly. For example if I'm waiting in a queue or stuck in traffic. Even appointments with the doctor or dentist. The fight or flight response kicks in and I just want to escape to the nearest toilet. It's more than just being nervous. People don't understand. It's pure fear or panic.

    For me there are "safe" toilets. These are usually the ones in my home and some family. I go on annual camping trips and the toilets are in some sort of shipping container and turned into a restroom, and I always can't go to the toilet for a poop without someone I love or trust or something to distract me like my phone. I'm just glad to see its not only me. (I can't poop during the camping trips that usually last 7 days that's a really sore stomach by the end.) Also I'm scared of insects in and around the toilet.

    Toilet phobia/Toilet anxiety can also be about the way the toilet hole looks, the sound of the toilet flushing, or the darkness of the stall, or darkness of the restroom in general. When a public toilet flushes, it sounds like a beast roaring so loudly, and then when the flush ends, it sounds like the beast is growling. That's why I like when there's other people in the restroom besides me, or a radio is playing music in the restroom loud enough to distract the flushing noise.

    Mine is the shape of the inside of the toilet bowl and the water condition. Too low I freak out it floods I run out nearly having a heart attack.

    For me, it’s: • The toilet shape • The seat is another factor. The seat has to be a thick white round seat with a lid, it can’t be: coloured, grey, wooden, crescent shaped, without a lid or thin (Celmac Sontanas are the worst seats) • The colour (it can only be white or light grey) • The Cistern (can’t be a black cistern, concealed, low level, mid level or high level) • The flush is something that sets me off. I’m autistic, and I don’t do good with sudden load noises. Toilets are the worst offenders alongside dogs and shouty teachers • Can’t use Cubicles (related to Claustrophobia) • Public toilets with a door entry is a no go because then I’m trapped in (even worse when the Urinals are an auto flush or even worse a Steel Trough, that’s why I struggled with school toilets and had to use the staff toilet) • Brings me onto my other fear, Urinals. Porcelains ones are fine and flush urinals are ok (if they’re a walk in and out rather than a door entry, then I’m fine; however, stainless steel Urinals I just can’t)

Now my blatter is horrible and I still have that fear. Thank God my job now has a standard restroom. Vacations are also horrible because I always have a hard time finding standard restrooms to use so we always end up having to walk back to the Hotel. So I guess you can say Toilet Phobia is pretty...Crappy lol

    Weird none of my reasons why I am scared of toilets is listed on here. I used to be terrified of toilets because the toilet design, and the hole shape freaked me out, but sometimes it would also make me scared because of how the toilet was positioned, or how the bathroom was created affected me as well. As a child I was scared of public toilets, but now I can use public toilets, but I would never go on a metal toilet, shelf toilet, big holed toilet, or a squat toilet now. There are a few toilet brands I really find joy upon. Koehler toilets are my favorite toilet brand. Usually in themeparks I see them, and I like how the toilet holes look. I like toilets that hang on the wall. I am most likely to be scared of gas station bathrooms.

    Not just public toilets for me, even going at home, I hate people noticing, the bathroom is above the kitchen/dining room and you can hear everything, so people have to stay up in the living room away from the bathroom or my body just shuts down even when I try. I've had a growing up of people mocking and making jokes of going to the toilet so it gives me anxiety as I just know people notice. So I try to hide it as much as I can, peeing is easier, but everyone has to be out of the house literally for n2, and that isn't very often😣 worse too as we only have one toilet in our house

    I used to be able to go up to 2 whole days of not going to the bathroom when I was 14, on the third day I'd go in the shower and that would be my shower day, I'd just take a shower after that. I'm now 15 and trying to use it at least twice a day, in the morning and at night. But its hard when I just feel really gross after like I feel I had an accident, or I got pee on my pants. I always end up having to wipe everything, the toilet both before and after I use it and my pants. I'm also just afraid of touching the toilet and I never, unless absolutely necessary, use public bathrooms. I'm left feeling afraid for my health and I don't know what to do.

I feel bad about asking him to leave .I get anxious and stress constantly about my job incase I need the toilet and people come around me while im using the toilet. I have been in tears about it. I have overdosed on laxitives because of it. So now I have informed my doctors and shes going to ring back in a couple of days and chat to me about it

    I'm scared of my home toilet and I don't like when I'm in the dark and I don't have windows and I am scared like what if the light gos away and I hear the fan and ventilation sucking air out. It's like someone is behind me making sounds when I'm in the dark in the toilet. That is one of my problems with vent and fan toilet. When I hear the ventilation pipe pushing the air in and out,I get a pannic attack to this humming sound. I just wish I had a normal life and consantriate on study's but I can't because of something I really focused on. The toilet light was gone and I'm in the dark myself and I am scared to here the vent for the heart attack of my life. That is one of my problem.😔😖🙁😟😨😱😢

    I've been afraid of toilets since I was a child, and have always felt like I was weird...didn't think others would have this issue. I think mine developed as a result of CSA trauma, but I'm also neurodivergent and have associated OCD from that so it's become part of my OCD as well. For me, it's just a very generalized "threatening" feeling whenever I'm near a toilet, but it can also impact the entire bathroom unless I clean it very stringently. No matter how clean the bathroom or toilet is, I can't bring myself to actually use it like a normal person, and it sucks. I worry that one day, I'll be elderly and senile or have dementia and that caregivers will not understand my fear and make me use it "normally".

    I had toilet anxiety when I was little and now, at 13 yrs old, it came back to me. I only feel comfortable with the toilets at my home. I don’t sit on toilets - never, I stand in a 90 degree stand above ‘em. It’s not because I, scared of the germs, it’s because I’m scared of the toilet. I’m scared of flush sounds and just overall sounds. Also scared of some flush buttons. I can’t see a toilet flushing, I have to close the lid and if there isn’t one I won’t go. Please, how can I get over this? It’s such a struggle in my life.

    This guy and everyone in the comments: *Talking about being scared of a toilet for these reasons or the toilet it's self and/or toilet seat it's self* Me: But what about being scared of the cistern? 😔 No seriously this isn't a joke. I always hated how when the cistern is almost done filling up, it's ominously quiet and sounds quite spooky! Plus you'd expect a jumpscare afterwards! Also, a pipe with VERY high air pressure would make the cistern sound terrifying as hell! 😱😔 But I did eventually overcome my phobia of the toilet.

    For some reason I just can’t go to the bathroom that is besides my sisters room unless she’s not home because I’m SOO scared of anyone hearing me so I always go to the bathroom on the second floor that I basically grew up going to since I recently just moved my bedroom downstairs and now my parents ask me why I never go to the bathroom downstairs and I get too scared to answer bc being scared of people hearing me on the toilet doesn’t make sense to them and it’s the same at school I just can’t go if there’s anyone outside the bathroom or I’ll start to freak out and also I start to freak out when I feel that I’m being loud and someone can hear me so I just freeze until I get the courage to go, basically i just can’t go to any toilet except for the one on the second floor in my house bc I never feel like someone can hear me unless someone’s standing outside

    I’m scared of the high water level ie American toilets with the high water, they way it flushes ie if it’s a sensor flush, if the base is detached, the systen for example I don’t like the ones high up like the Victorian ones, and kind of toilet seat. Don’t mind me just watching these videos to try to help cure my phobia of these toilets…why does the water have to be so high and there be a sensor on them. Not kidding about the phobia, when I was younger I was at great ormand street hospital and they where trying to cure me from it by putting stones in the toilet, flushing it and barricading the door so not as to let me out (this was in 1999 so hopefully they don’t treat people with phobias like that now) I’m almost 27 and still petrified of the particular ones I listed. With the sensor flush I’m worried it will flush if I use it (has happened to me one in America, sat on that evil toilet for over an hour trying to go, jumping every time someone flushed). Honestly if I see a toilet with high water I will bolt out that bathroom not looking back, I would much rather use a bush than to use one of them. I went 14 hours without going once because I didn’t like the aeroplane toilet or the toilet at the airport. I use a technique called girls names, you start from A and have to think of 3 girls names beginning with that letter, and if you have someone with you the letter B would be their turn, again 3 names beginning with B.
