Hi Gary, Its a shame that something so simple can have a damaging impact on someones life. The good news is it can easliy get better! Well done for coming on the forums and finding the site. I also find posting/reading very theraputic. I have been in the same position as you a few years ago, where I wouldnt dare leave the front door without using the toilet before hand, and making sure I hadn't drunk much/any before hand. In the meantime before the workshop, get out as much as you can to 'de-sense'. Visit public toilets when ever you get a chance to become more accustomed to them. Take a round trip stopping at every toilet you can find! Just go in a cubicle for a few mins even if you dont need to go. Its hard bringing yourself to do this but it wil help alot. Mark
