The last time that I was on this site was many years ago. I even attended the first Steve Soifer workshop down in Windsor so long ago. I was pretty bad, couldn't form relationships, difficulty holding down my job, lying to my mates about being unable to go places like nightclubs and flights. All because of this condition. Looking back it was a pretty depressing time. Now though it is in the past. I never even think about it. How did this happen?
It happened due to two things, Seroxat and caths. I spent a year on seroxat and used caths whenever I needed to, restaurants, parties, planes, peoples houses etc. I must have cathed 200 times but never had any problems (none of this infection stuff that is mentioned). It got to the point that I used caths so much that there was no fear of not being able to go because the cath was always there. This eventually made the cath redundant and I came off seroxat after one year with no bad effects. I have not used a cath for five years but I do always take a few with me on a plane. This condition has now vanished and I travel all over the world with my girlfriend. They say that a cath is a crutch, it is, but a crutch is only used while you heal and then it is thrown away. Those of you that are thinking that using a cath is a bit severe for this condition are right. But complete freedom only comes from knowing that when you really need to go (in a police station, in a hospital, in a plane, out with a partner, at a party), you can whatever the circumstances. That is freedom from this condition.
Good luck to you all, there can be an end to this problem, I never believed it myself back in those dark days but there is.
