Ignore what the other people are saying and go see a doctor. Passing stool more than 8x/day is way outside the normal range. Depending on your age and whether there's any blood mixed into your feces, you could have Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD), a grouping of diseases where your body's immune system attacks your intestines, Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a milder autoimmune disease that can attack your intestines, parasites, celiac disease, lactose intolerance or even cancer.
Here are things your doctor is going to want to know: is your stool all greasy and hard to flush? if so, you may have something wrong with your pancreas. Is there blood mixed in the stool? if there is, it could be a sign of either IBD or cancer. Are you drinking lots of diet cola or using a lot of artificial sweeteners? it could be a secretory diarrhea. What about travel outside of the country, camping or drinking well water? could be bacteria, parasites or other pathogens. How long have you had it? What kinds of meds are you taking?
What to do: First, make sure you drink lots of water because you're likely dehydrated. Don't drink diet cola or gatorade--they'll dry you out faster, despite what the gatorade commercials say. The best thing to do is to add a little salt and sugar to lots of water and drink as much as you can. Second, go see a doctor and get yourself examined.

Was it a stressful day? I remember I went seven times on my wedding day, and I didn't feel that nervous!
Stress can do amazing things to the body. I bet you'll be back to normal tomorrow. :)

Too much fiber in your diet.

IDK but until you start doing it uncontrollably in your sleep then I think you are fine, no one wants to wake up in a bunch of crap...especially with a significant other...
