I have shy bladder syndrome (public bathrooms only). how to overcome this?

Seek treatment: In my practice, i treat patients with this kind of anxiety disorder with a benzodiazepine like clonazepam. I also explain in great detail what causes this, and what kinds of treatment work for this. Along with medication to reduce the excessive anxiety, it is necessary to re-introduce your self gradually into the anxiety provoking environment to more fully overcome this phobias.

Bashful bladder is: A social phobia experienced more by males but also by females. It is formally called paruresis and there is an organization for help at http://www.Paruresis.Org/ clinical hypnosis w/self-hypnosis training by a clinical psychologist can be effective. See your doc first. Peace and good health.
