I recently found this site to my suprise and relief i must say as i thought i was alone with this condition. I thought i would post my story here as well while reflecting on times of courage and failure with such a simple, regular occurance in everyones life . When in primary school i was ok, i could go the whole day withought using the loo which was strange now i suffer from this. About half way through school i was shown up in the toilets by a kid knocking the door open (which had broken locks) and the frequent peers and laughter over the cubicle walls. After that i just started finding excuses to go during lessons etc when less occupants of the toiet would be present. This carried on into secondary school, where ofcourse the doors were busted on the cubicles which did not help as the "smokers" stood behind them peering in and laughing at anyone. Many occasions have occured when i have not been able to go and sat in a lesson in total discomfort and the embarrising thought of losing control. I was 19 on sunday in my third year at college and i still suffer from the condition. I go during lessons instead of breaks which is annoying when your in fully fledged conversation with a mate lol. I am going roung the local town clubs on thursday which i am looking forward 2 aswell as dreading. I read a story on the board about the bouncers who stand in the toilets, which i have encountered before and gone the whole night in agony. I just hope it goes ok and i find somewhere to go un-noticed. I know many will agree on how dissapointing it is to walk into the toilet and see a queue or no cubicles free , and the more depressing when the successful access to one results in nothing. I will admit now that i used to feel sorry for myself, how it was just my luck that something like this would happen to me, but now i have found this site i am suprised on how many people actually share this frustrating affliction. I gonna stop my story here though becaue if i include all of the trips i have been on, long coach rides and many others where this disorder has effected me, you would be reading a book, so i just hope everyone can be cured of this in the near future and let us all not have to worry about the 2 minute trip people take for granted. Adam.
