Hi Sally I know exactly how you feel a couple of years ago I had it really bad (all of my original posts are on this site if you wanted to look at them). Have to say you have gone a few hours longer than me before going but I know the feeling of finding it hard to go anywhere and anytime (even in your own home!). I had hypnotherapy too and found the same result as you! However I went on one of the workshops and then again on the improvers workshop and went to the docs (and after a few tests) I was prescribed self catheters! I also use an mp3 player (which I take out EVERYWHERE with me! I can now go more than 90% of the time! I thought that I would have a lot of trouble with relationships too as I was with my ex for over 10 years, I've now started a new relationship and my new boyfriend is fantastic, he really understands the situation and has thought of loads of additional things I can do and even flicked through my workshop notes and shy bladder book. If you would like to have a chat ask Andrew for my email address, if I can help at all I will try. Take care and remember your not alone!!! much love Kel xx
