Hi Tony,

I find at times I seem to be going far more that usual. There is no pattern to it and I'm not to worried about it.

Have you had your waterworks checked at all by GP. You may have a slight infection, but if it is only when travelling I'd say it was anxiety about the journey.

What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?

Happens to me everytime I travel and has since I was a child..I always discontinue anything to drink an hour before..Or just hold it..its pretty normal...more nerves than anxiety..

My urges aren't number ones if you get my meaning! I get terrible runs before I can go out anywhere and can visit the loo anything up to 10 times. When I had CBT I was assured by the therapist that my fear of cr*pping myself was just that, a fear and in my head, but I have had accidents, several times, when there hasn't been a toilet nearby. I just don't know what to do about this any more. There is no physical cause just these thoughts that pop into my head!! HELP.....

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....I thought I could, I thought I could, I thought I could...

This is the one i really stuggle with too, we are advised to let the panic happen but you cant let 'that' happen ! I also hate public toilets, to me they are germ ridden and i can't go to the toilet in the company of others-so humiliating. Really stuck with this as its the one element of panic i can't deal with and controls my life.
