I am so anxious, all the time. When I sit down to poop my asshole tightens up and I can't shit. How do I fix it? This is a serious question. Laxatives work but I don't want to become dependent. I just want to fully empty my bowels again. I feel so bloated all the time.
Look into anxiety medicine.
If that doesn't help see a GI doctor.
Probiotics/psyllium husk may also help.
I've been on plenty of anxiety meds. That's why my GI is all fucked up to begin with. I never had a problem with anything for over 30 years, then after nortriptyline something in my guts slowed to a crawl and now I'm constantly constipated. GIs just try to put me on laxatives and psychiatrists all deny such a thing is possible. I guess I can just keep trying more GI doctors...
Most doctors are shit on their job, you need to search for one that will give you a diagnosis, not one you want, but one that will solve your problems.
Fuckin get in there and open it up manually
Not a bad idea learning to control those particular muscles could help.
Sorta like jelqing or kegals

I found that the green tea derivative L-theanine really helped my anxiety. It *naturally* mimics a brain chemical that is over produced (resulting in feelings of anxiety). Various different brands on Amaz0n. I take several over the course of a day. Noticeable takes away the "edge". Good luck.
is this green tea with L-theanine, or an L-theanine supplement?
Oh sure. It's a chemical compound found in green tea. Drinking green tea gives you a slight effect but nowhere near as much as the extract, yes you could call it a supplement (like a body building supplement I guess). Some people also like to have it with coffee for alertness with jitters.

do poppers
You don’t eat enough fiber. Don’t overdoit or it gives you bloating and diarrhea.
If I take no metamucil, I bloat cause I can't poop. If I take 1 scoop, I poop regularly and always feel like I need to go later in the day but can't. If I take more than 2 scoops, I feel bloated from the fiber. No matter what, I feel stuck. 🙁
lean forward and bend knees
Western toilet is basically designed to close the shit hoal up like you describe and not allow easy drop outs. adjust yourself to natural, intuitive dung dropping posture and watch as the biggest, most satisfying dungs you have ever had come out without so much as a STRAINING
Seriously:
Baked beans
Prunes / prune juice
Going for a walk
But if your constipation is a symptom of your stress you could try and work out what is causing the stress.
I used to have the opposite problem, that is I would get diarrhoea when stressed out. This was usually in the lead up to a stressful event at work for example. there wasn't much I could do about it. And it was often the symptoms (diarrhoea) that "alerted" me to the fact I was stressed.
meditation.
Facing fears.
Exposure therapy.
I'm going to guess it's interaction you're generally afraid of.
Being mindful of the states of every interaction generally helps me to maintain a cool head
Get Grindr, and hook up with a guy that has a huge cock. Tell him you’re willing to let him bottom you out no restraint balls deep as much and as hard as he wants.
30 mins before sex, take 3 Tylenols and 2 sleeping pills, and let him know it’s a kink you have, for him to NOT STOP while you’re passed out.
When you wake up your asshole will look like a permanently hollowed out donut. You’ll never have a problem shitting again.
eating more fibre might help. exercising the hole muscle and learning to relax it too
Relax
I can't. Even breathing exercises seem impossible to focus on.
Ever since my mom died my life has been a spiral of anxiety.
Why is it always people who have the lamest, most boring lives in the history of civilization that suffer from "anxiety"?
Fibre foods or supplements. Unlike chemical laxatives, it doesn't affect your system, just generates enough fairly solid poop that it pushes its way through
fug i poop daily,
today somehow poop didn't come out before work,
come to /adv/ see this

A FAT LINE OF COCAINE
wait 15 minutes
take the best shit ever
Do some mindfulness or look up other techniques for calming down, also, cough or breathe as if you were coughing on the toilet, the reason prison guards tell them to cough is because it opens your anus more, it personally helped me recover from a week of constipation
