Hi All, This is my first post on here so i'll run through my story briefly. I've had problems peeing in public since my teenage years but am not really sure what event brought it on. I guess i've just lived with it for years like many on here, thinking that it was something that just affected me. I used to drink in pubs quite a lot and found that I was generally OK in cubicals or even urinals if it was quiet but the problem was always there. I found out about the condition via the internet (this site and the international site) a few years ago and I must admit that when I found out it was a huge relief to find that I was not alone! I've been working from home for a while now though so the times where it's affected me have been separate isolated incidents. I guess that has led me to put off dealing with it, but i'm now in my mid 30's and I really need to overcome my condition. I was out the other night in a pub and found that I couldn't even go in a cubicle in a pub toilet due to noises outside and things seem to be getting worse if anything. I suppose this is down to me having to address the issue less and less working from home, but i'm starting a new job soon so that 'safety' will end then! Anyway, i've sent off my form to enrol on the next beginners workshop and am determined to reclaim my life from this condition. Thanks to all who have posted their stories and experiences on here, it really does help reading that you're not alone with this.
