Posted by Phil on July 28, 2006, 9:55 am Here is something that I have suffered for years that began at school, I would guess. I was bullied when I used a public restroom when I was in the fourth grade. I am not sure if this triggered my anxiety to not be able to urinate in public places or when another person is present. This bothered me for years when I thought the safest place to urinate was at home and remember the times when I held it through out the day. One day I was trying to hold it at school and I asked the teacher if I could use the restroom and she said that I had to wait till after class, so I ended up having an accident. It was ad that no one, none of my friends knew of this emotional axiety and what I had to endure in those times. I remember this one time, I went to a public rest room and just was about to go when a young boy came in and everything just froze up. I was just standing there like a dummy and the kid had a look of curiosity on his face like why isn't he going? I left in embarrasment. I guess I am too sensitive about myself. Maybe one day I'll find a partner and see if I can overcome this obstace. I am getting better though. It was funny one time, it was years later one time in my emails I told my sister of my problem. That has to take guts because I was to embarrased to tell others of this axiety I faced for years. Do you know if there is any support groups for this? Thanks for your time, Phil PS...I am 41 years old and still have the condition but it isn't as severe. Maybe one day, I'll be cured of this axiety.
