It must be frustrating to still experience such a debilitating symptom even after seeking professional supports. Have you disclosed this symptom to your psychologist or health professional? It’s very common for people with anxiety to experience physical symptoms such as diarrhea and stomach aches - it can be helpful to work through with your psychologist strategies that involve identifying what’s triggers these physical manifestations of anxiety and how you can plan for when you need to leave the house.
