Is this constipation?

My anxiety has been in over drive and I think my uneasiness has caused constipation. For about 4 weeks iv been getting the urge but it gets stuck at the opening and a couple days later it will come out. But as soon as I use the bathroom doesn't matter how much there's more tht gets stuck right behind it.. Is this normal for constipation?

How old are you?  Just wondering.  Are you on medication, especially antidepressants, for the anxiety?  Because they often cause constipation.  If it's not that, it could certainly be anxiety, but anxiety is more likely to cause the other problem.  What's your diet like?  In your life, before you got an anxiety problem, were your patterns different?  Did this start when your anxiety started or a lot later?  Has there been a change in your diet when this started?
