Hi All, I've had a good read through the forum messages and it's such a relief to know that I'm not alone with this embarrassing, painful and annoying problem. Although it's mostly men on here, we all endure the same emotions that AP brings. I've suffered for nearly 20 years and am fed up of having it affect every single day of my life, work, relationships and blocking me from being happy, carefree and simply having fun. It's a permanent weight on my mind, a constant worry I'm never without. Time I think to really tackle it face on. Hopefully I'll be able to attend a workshop in the near future, but in the meantime I wondered if there was any scope for having a local groups section on the site? I'd love to have someone to meet and talk with, who's in the same situation as me. It would be good to have the support of another sufferer and be able to offer help in return. A problem shared is a problem halved as the saying goes - and this is the first time I've shared. Rachel
