Hey Lotters, this is a rather peculiar story I want to share with you all. This is a secret only me and my husband knows, but now, I'm letting it out to my lotter friends. I think, Im hoping to find out that Im not the only one with this odd routine
I've been having constipation problems since I was younger. For years now, my hemorrhoid won't cease me. It's internal, so it's not going away forever. I just have to prevent it from getting any worse, otherwise, I'd need to undergo operation which is one of the worst operation one could get.
Anyhow, because of that, I've been trying to condition myself to be able to have regular bowel movements and not be constipated. I don't have much vegetables and fruits on my regular diet, but I try to stay away from drinking too much caffeinated drinks, and other food that could trigger constipation.
However, there are times when I just can't "go" even how much I try to let it out, and even how many times I go to the toilet to pass - it just won't come out. One day, I noticed that when I get online and start surfing or doing anything on the internet, I would suddenly feel the urge to go to the toilet. From then on, when I get constipated, I would simply turn on the computer, and get on any website I could think of, and in a matter of minutes, my tummy starts to feel the sensation.
I call it - Internet Therapy.

I feel that there are people that come on here that tend to use it as a place of therepy to relax, destress, as it helps us to take our minds off things.
I love it that we can all come on this site anytime day or night and there will always be things that we can discuss with other people, no matter what they are about.

Yes, myLot is my ultimate online companion. When there's nothing to do, when I feel lonely, when I feel bored, etc..etc.. I go to myLot and I feel better. Also, when there are things bothering my mind, I just easily write about it, and it frees my mind.

. The cheap cost of therapy. What if you just pretend to sit in front of the computer? I'm thinking about power outages or network disconnected.

When there's no power, or if I got no internet connection, I just do anything I can with the computer. Like, playing games that I've downloaded previously. And, if, I really don't have a computer to use or for whatever reason, I can't use the computer, I have an alternative therapy. Standing at the front porch when the wind is cool and the surrounding is quiet, it also works wonders.

wow that's amazing, you found a solution and its not really bad. Well do what makes you always feels good and think what is the best for you. But I do hope someday that you'll be better on your situation.

Sometimes, though, when I get too engrossed in what Im doing online, I'd ignore the call. It really also takes some discipline to be able to develop a good regular body clean up routine.

I do believe that your problems have anything to do with the computer being "ON". They are probably related to either not having enough fibre or not drinking enough water.

Of course, I know its not the computer, but it must be because I feel relaxed when Im using the computer. And, somehow, its got some psychological effect on my system.

Im sure other people have their own routines.
Like, my husband, he would always get the urge after he drinks his first coffee when he wakes up. For me, hot drinks don't have any effect on me.
