Re: 18 and Clubbing, HELP ME!
Chippy, It seems that you are better off than many paruretics, because many of us are greatly concerned that we can’t use troughs or urinals easily if someone else is around. You don’t seem to mind using only cubicles, so that is a great plus. However, if I read your post correctly, you can’t use cu...

Re: Sydney Meetings
Pete, Exactly the same as before. I don't think it's a good idea to put the details here so publicly in case it attracts a troublemaker. But it is the first Thursday night of the month. And send me a private message if you need to know more. Plus let me know if you're coming in April. JohnW P.S. You...

Re: Poll: Age of onset of paruresis
Thank you for your post. A significant number of people with paruresis began to have the problem after an incident such as what you experienced. Could I respectfully suggest that your username be altered to "past failure", for paruresis does not have to continue being a hardship for us. Unless you w...

Re: drug testing
There are few short-term options available to you, apart from discussing the problem with your GP and seeing if he will give you some form of letter which you can present to your employer. For the long-term, you should be taking steps to reduce the severity of your paruresis, such as attending a wor...

Re: A Christmas Present for You
Yes, Derek, unusual, but the number is surpassed by an earlier thread, also started by Rossco.
I wish you, and Rossco and all readers of this Forum a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year which sees renewed success in moving into Paruresis recovery!

Encouraging Post
Hi all, I have permission to post the contents of an email I recently received from one of the five participants in the Melbourne workshop held at the end of April. "XXX" also attended the workshop. People will vary in the rate at which they make progress towards Paruresis recovery, but I think this...

Re: Plane flight to Europe
Chris,
Thank you for your report, and congratulations at your success!
It all sounds very encouraging, and it means you'll be able to anticipate your next trip with less anxiety.
Hopefully you'll be able to find opportunities to practise now that you are back home.

Re: MELBOURNE WORKSHOP 2011
Derek,
Sorry, but I had to delete both posts. I usually delete the spurious ones before too many see them (and are tempted to click on their links - quite hazardous), but for some reason I couldn't get internet access last night.

Re: how do u practice overcoming sbs
robertz, Welcome to our Forum. I assume you will read back through the other threads. I wish you all the best in your practising attempts. You may like to send occasional reports. It's anonymous, and in itself can be helpful, as it reduces the secrecy and shame aspect a little. Also, it may encourag...
