Is there a cure for toilet phobias? I m not exactly sure what I m scared of but this effects my every day life. I get a lot of water infections as I just cannot go if I m out. The cleanliness of the toilet does bother me but it s more being closed in in a toilet. I m not afraid of confined spaces only when a toilet is there, I get really panicked, hot and shake. I find I can force myself to go if someone is with me and this isn t always possible.
