Hi there i suffer from paruresis which has got worse after 3 hospital visits for acute urinary retention where i had a supra pubic catheter placed as they were unable to catheterise me normally.( i have now had this removed ) It now so bad that anxiety prevents me leaving my home as this is the only place i can use the toilet.I was working part time but have had to give this up .I am awaiting cbt help from my local mental health team ,and when my anxiety and depression is improved i would like to attend a workshop to cure me of this problem . In the mean time does anyone know if i will be able to claim employment and sickness allowance as otherwise i do not know how i will support myself. Many Thanks
