How Can Chronic Constipation Be Treated?

i havent defecated in two weeks, last time i did my stool was really hard and hurt on the way out, i also have hemmoroids so hard stool is especially painful, ive drank two magnesium citrates, had two stool softeners, amd tried two tables spoons of vegetable oil, hoping something would cause diarrhea so the pain wouldnt be unbearable now when i feel like i have to go i sit down and instead of going, as soon as.it feels like im about to poop i get this rush of anxiety and fear and i stop myself from going. i really need some help.
