How to get over anxiety about using the bathroom at work for #2?
I just got a new job, and I just want to be comfortable... but when my belly starts rumbling and I need to go potty.... I just can't bring myself to go! I know a lot of people hate pooping in public restrooms.. I just don't want people to hear it or smell it. How can I get over that anxiety? If I really have to go I can do it, but it's very nerve racking for me.

Just remember that this is part of the human condition, and everybody, from your boss to your favorite glamorous celebrity, has to take care of business. Everybody has days when everything happens quickly and cleanly, when they're in and out of the restroom in no time, and other days when they're sitting on the throne in misery. People are not listening to what is going on behind those closed doors. They've heard and smelled it all many many times before and it's old hat. And most restrooms have automatic air freshener systems. What they will listen to is whether you run the water and wash your hands. Or not. That's what concerns people these days. Hand hygiene.
