Hey Jim Yes, I am with you there, I know exactly what you mean. I wish there was a drug that helps relax that part of the body enough to help ‘let go’ as it were. I have tried getting drunk, I mean very drunk, and trying to pee, but it's still the same usually. I did go to a club once; I went to the toilet twice and couldn’t go. Then whilst I was in the toilet my friend called to me, we had a quick conversation about some general topic, within seconds I felt totally comfortable and went without any worry at all. It was almost as if I had a distraction, enough to make me feel comfortable and I just let it out and went. It is strange, in the toilet I feel completely alone, but when I feel some sort of contact with someone else it sometimes helps. If I think about another person whilst I am in the toilet on my own, that makes it worse, but talking to someone outside, maybe someone stood by the sinks talking to me, that is fine. It is defiantly in the mind, the thing with it is having that environment and distraction every time when you need it, and the problem is that situation is hard to come by. My body and mind don’t always sync, that is my problem, I can clear my thoughts completely till the cows come home, but if I am not going to go, then I am not going to go, plain and simple.
