(Sorry for late post)
I experience this, it's part of my anxiety. Whenever I'm out I always start stressing about whether there's a bathroom around/whether I can get to it. If there ends up not being one, my physical symptoms set off. Stomach pains, urges to use the bathroom, sweating, etc.
I've learned to control my symptoms by thinking realistically. For example, if I'm in a store: "Is there a bathroom here? No? Okay, let's go check next door then." I just try to calm myself down and try to get my mind off those thoughts.
