I completely emptied myself out last tuesday, but now i'm constipated again and i'm afraid to use an enema or to go by myself.

Constipation.: Sounds like you may need something to help keep you regular. Regular adequate fluid intake is key in your age group for preventing constipation. Secondarily, daily stool softeners may help. Consider dioctyl sodium succinate or a similar med from your pharmacy - talk to the pharmacist or to your doc.
