Scared of getting diarrhea making me get it?!
Question: I'm really scared of getting diarrhea at school.
So now when I wake up to go to school, I always need to go to the toilet and it's always like before you get diarrhea.
I haven't actually had diarrhea, but its really scary.
It happened once 2 weeks ago, twice last week and then this morning.
Nothing on the weekend though which is how I know its through fear. I'm reaaally carefull not too eat anything which could upset my stomach.
What can I do??

First of all, check and see that you are not eating anything different during the weekdays. Maybe you ADD this "something" to your diet, without really thinking about it. Is it MILK? Or do you just drink extra milk or ORANGE JUICE with breakfast before going to school?
School can be a stressful place. Now, think about what it is that could be stressing you more than usual. Also the first time you had diarrhea could have been for real, something that did upset your stomach. Maybe now you do have soft bowel movement_which can be brought on by stress, fear, etc._and can be stopped ENTIRELY by you once it is determined that indeed no food or drink is upsetting your stomach.
If this goes on and indeed you can tell it is diarrhea, go to doctor, please.
