Hi Loz Suggestions Like I have suggested to others who are mildly affected. Get used to being in a train toilet or a portaloo when you do not need to pee. At present your anxiety about being in such a place is compounded by your anxiety about having to pee, or else!. You would find it beneficial to disassociate these two anxiety triggers. How to do it? Go on a return train jouney: you can walk alomng the train using each toilet in turn, just to sit there and to work out whayt is bothering you, then how to manage that. You can find one of the public free-standing pay toilets (the sliding door efforts) and do the same. Get sorted with catheters now, and try them out. Finding our that you can be in total control can make for a significant shift in your perception of the problem; it coudl remove it altogether cos you will know you have a fail-safe backup. Come on a workshop: we cannot provide plane, train or portaloos, but the tools we give you can help a lot. cheers Andrew
