Hi - I've suffered from the problem almost 30 years to the day - in fact since I was nine. I've also never told anyone of this problem - as I can normally cope, due to the fact that over the years - I can use certain toilets without any time pressures present.
Has anybody identified a trigger for their paruresis - I know exactly how and why my symptoms developed. Does anybody else think that they have a trigger that they may have forgotten?
Also, has anybody any tips for coping with a hospital stay? I have to have a minor op soon that may necessitate a short stay in hospital. After each of my children I discharged myself instantly to get away from the pressurised environment.
Finally, does the catheter method hurt - I had a catheter took out once after a caesarian and it hurt like hell!
Any replies gratefully received.
Claire
