Hallo Sally, I am so glad you have discovered the website, at least you will not feel so alone now.We have all been there and got furious with ourselves because this problem is just so annoying. There is nothing worse that sitting in a toilet unable to squeeze out a drop when all around you others are peeing without giving it a thought! I have had the problem for about 38 years, since I was 45. It is not so bad now, as with help from this board and meeting others I have relaxed to some extent but there are still times when I get caught out, and, like you, there are times when I can't go in my own home if others are around.How stupid is it that I often can't go if my youngest grandaughters are there , aged 2 and 6, probably because I think they will rattle the door handle and ask where I am? Andrew and others in the organisation have been such a support to me and I bless the day that Andrew and Baz first appeared on a Richard and Judy show and I realised I was not alone. I hope you will get the help that you need and that one day you will be able to report a vast improvement. All the best, Margaret.
