Hello everyone, my name is Martin; I am 37 years old and have suffered from AP for 19 years. I am currently seeing a psychiatrist in aiding me with resolving my problem. It wasn’t until I saw someone with the same problem as me on the tv programme embarrassing bodies that I thought I would just have to put up with this condition.
I consulted my doctor who referred me to a physiatrist who has given me a new way of looking at the problem (I must say that telling someone else has been like a huge weight off my shoulders).
I would like to attend the workshop in Manchester but obviously due to the distance and family commitments - it’s not really practical for me to attend. I have purchased the book Shy Bladder Syndrome which goes into the process of de-sensitising the experience of using public restrooms utilising gradual exposure techniques with the aid of other sufferers.
I would like to hear if anyone in the Aberdeen area has this condition and would be interested in trying to rectify their difficulties using public conveniences.
