Hello I appreciate the reply. This is the first time I have been to a site like this, or really chatted about it. I decided to come here after the experience I had a while ago. I went to a festival and drank 2 pint of Beer, the only toilets were fields and port cabins. The cues were massive and I ended up having to leave because my bladder felt so tight I could pee for a million pounds. Like I say 10% of the time it is fine, the rest of the time it is hard, almost painful. The breath holding is a good idea; it gets you used to trying to go before your next breath, which in a way is trying to go within a certain time. So if you get used to doing that, being rushed in a public place won't seem as bad. I do use the disabled usually, only thing is people tend to look at me or get annoyed that I am in there. I guess if they knew the reason they would understand. No one seems to have that much patience for disabled people I don’t think. If I go to the GP I am sure he won’t mind giving me the note. In all fairness I don’t think I will ever be over this problem. But having little things to help makes it easier, and talking about it helps too, now I know I am not the only one. Cheers
