Hi all

Its been quiet for a few days; people are reading this site, but no-one is posting. So I thought I would post this, if only to show the site is still alive!

cheers

Andrew

Aha!

I wanted to post, but I didn't wanna be a post whore. I was quite excited about a trip to soho I had at a restaurant, and a restaurant (cubical)... I was so happy afterwards, it made my day... but that sounds a little sad to be so excited.

Hi James

There's nothing wrong in having a conversation about paruresis, is there? As this board is a substitute for a face to face conversation, it is OK to post plenty of times, mimicking a conversation.

As for "that sounds a little sad to be so excited" !!!! It cannot be sad to show pleasure at any sign of recovery from any illness or disabling condition, can it? That is a normal and expected reaction.

You had a positive experience at a restaurant in Soho? GREAT. Shout about it; this is what this board is for :-) Tell us about it.

cheers

Andrew

...apart from anything else, if you let us all know about a success, then others will know that it IS possible to get 'better'.

Hi Andrew,
Perhaps it's quiet because so many of us have been helped by you that AP is no longer the 'bogeyman' that it was. I certainly find life much easier and rarely get caught out now. My worst nightmare is still coach trips where there is a stop with limited time and totally insufficient facilities for the number of people around. So you will be pleased to know that on a coach trip from Dublin earlier this year, when the coach stopped by some doubtless fairly

grotty loos, we went for a walk along the seafront, found what looked like a wickedly expensive hotel, strolled straight past the security guards at the gate, walked in and found the most sumtuous loos I have ever seen and had a luxurious FREE WEE ! There are ways round the difficult times and you have given me the courage to go out and look for them. So many thanks indeed Andrew.
Hope you are well,
Regards,
Margaret.

Hello Margaret

I'm delighted life seems to be easier for you now. As for grotty crowded loos, whatever one's ability to cope, it seems eminently sensible and civilised to wander off to find a more pleasant locale. No brainer really, and certainly not avoidance.

best

Andrew
