Hi - I have only just discovered this website and discussion board having had intermittent paruresis problems for a number of years. I've largely found my own ways of dealing with it but from time to time it gets worse - usually around holidays, which I refuse to give up although they do sometimes cause anxiety using public toilets, queuing, planes etc. When the problem is at its worst I find that I have get repeated bouts of cystitis, presumably because I hold on to my pee too long for my own good - I wonder if any other women experience this? I also wonder if anyone gets any relief through the use of anti-depressants?
