[cenrockon01]

[MultiCARTOON]

[cortinaclub]

LES BOKA: "DEN PISSTRENGTE SOLDAT"; SANNHETEN OM DET NORSKE FORSVARET OG DEN NORSKE "RETTSSTATEN". I "rettsstaten" Norge blir menn som lider av PARURESIS satt i fengsel dersom de ikke møter til militærtjeneste. I Norge er det ingen menneskerett at man skal få late vannet. Som menig soldat risikerer man å måtte lide seg gjennom førstegangstjenesten pga. PARURESIS. Det er direkte tortur og soldaten må regne med å pådra seg senskader, f.eks. svekket muskulatur i blære.

[andyli916]

if you cant go, don't go.

[MultiCARTOON]

i am 20 yrs old and am still afraid of auto flush toilet, since when i was a kid that the first start is in USA  i aways fear of auto flush. Now im fear of flush

[SuperBeachgoer]

@MultiCARTOON Me too. I remember in grade 1 the teacher had to put a piece of paper over the censor. Once it fell off, I started to cry in the bathroom, and the teacher came in and saw me with my drawers down. I hear you, bro.

[Sniffer194]

I used to have it for a year or two, but it's gone now. I seriously do think that they make this phobia seem too serious in this programme. Paruresis, as all other fears, is unrational. And we must eliminate unrational fears.

[rb1003]

The more you go to public toilets the better you will overcome this

[cenrockon01]

@rb1003 you freaking idiot

[Scrabbler27]

@cenrockon01 Why is he a freaking idiot????

[notetoselfimissyouxx]

I have this

[F25Xanatos]

The Army taught my dad to be able to pee in a cup on cue in a rainstorm, under gunfire, and around other soldiers in a foxhole in the jungle. Maybe a similar experience for me will cure this and many other social fears lol.

[agetlostgirl]

Im in a dorm room so I walk all the way to a private bathroom everytime I need to go to the bathroom long trips I dont go to the bathroom when I went to disney world I waited until we got back to the room It sucks but I had no idea with what I have is a phobia

[wubbarican69]

i so have this shit.... i hate it. I'll wait for a toilet before i use a urinal if someone else is there.... then i was 14, i got in a little bit of trouble and was put on probation. As part of being on probation you have to pee once a week, as a drug test.... and the probation officer was in the room with me.... and i couldnt go. EVERY WEEK, the same shit, i could never go when he was there..... i want to go into the military, and this is one of my conerns.....sucks huh?

[nemost01]

i'm doing personal coach treatment to overcome my paruresis and my socialphobia. i'm trying to go out more often, and drinking bear(holyfucking shit i love bear) and trying to go to the toilets in bars, pubs, restaurants, etc, but i cant even think of entering a public toilet here in rio de janeiro.

i now it's a meter of training to overcoming this, but it's fucking hard.

[ZR1Terror]

yeah but if we challenge ourselves to do things we are affraid of, we still have the problem

[nemost01]

In Rio de Janeiro it is a fucking nightmare for a Paruresis like me.

the public's bathrooms are all fucked up places. no doors(or lockingdoors usually broken), no privicy, crowded places everywhere i go, no peace at all to get a piss. i wanna live in europe, the public's toilets seems to be more reserved! =)

no way im using urinals! i have never felt comfortable to use this shit, and this has nothing to do with paruresis. i only use cubicals.

[rockyfists]

I have this problem if im in one of them public toilets where the cubicle has gaps where you can you can see peoples feet under them i am 100% sure i will not be able to go however if im in a place where the cubicle is 100% secure i will be able to go. Also if im outside and there no one else around i will be able to go. but in a club with loud music and people in the toilets there is no chance i can go

[kudjo24]

@rockyfists completely agree with you, this SUCKS. People don't realize it, but it's a living hell. Even in cubicles I have a lot of trouble, particularly if it's noisy or loud, or if somebody's waiting on me. Haven't used a urinal in over 10 years. One time I had to pee in the woods outside of a rest station, and commonly find myself in awkward situations peeing in alley's, etc. I wish there was a pill for this.

[Sniffer194]

@kudjo24 In fact there is a cure... or rather an idea for a cure I found out. The fact of peeing is being able to send a straight, electric signal to a certain part of your brain, making it loose the bladder and let the urine out. If you have paruresis, this electric signal nerve is damaged and doesn't work properly. So if you were able to send a specfic impulse to this part of brain, by using a little device or something, the problem would be gone.

[Kelarre653]

Tusn out, my bladder shyness is to do with being overtrained. I found incontinence briefs (go ahead, call them nappies) to help quite a bit.

[paddyoak]

I'm overtrained myself. I love wearing diapers too. I have mild to moderate incontinence AND a shy bladder.

[PabloNirvanero]

¡AYUDA! no se hablar ingles!!

Esta enfermedad me esta matando!! no voy a vivir mucho creo

[jaknight315]

esta "enfermedad" no te va a matar, si quieres ayuda pon paruresis en google, o ingresa a alguna pagina de consulta medica para averiguar mas sobre el problema.... X cierto no es una enfermedad sino un desorden de ansiedad

[linkinpark0577]

I have had this problem for about 5 years now and it has gotten better. There are a few things that have really helped me. One thing that I know is that no one really has this problem at home. Home is your "comfort zone" and it relaxes you. PRACTICE AT HOME! Get a CD of sound effects such as baseball games, concerts, parties, loud restaurants and play it as your going to the bathroom at your house. Close your eyes and imagine your there. It helped me out a lot! Try it sometime! hope it helps

[krustyjedi]

i have the same shit, but im after 10 years having this problem, now i cant do it in urinals, but onlyy when i am alone , is not a big problem, a lot of people have it, but sometimes it gets fuck up when for example, like me you cant do it in your girl's bathroom even with no one inside, o,0

[UnyieldingDefiance]

I think I'm getting over mine, I just don't like big crowds. But the other day I was using a urinal and some guy came in and used the cubical. So I suppose it's more common than most people think.

It's getting to the point were it's such a hindrance, that I just get angry and force myself to use public bathrooms. I usually have earphones on and try and concentrate on the music, and sing it in my head. That helps sometimes.

[DrunkAtheist]

One way I can cope with it is by doing difficult sums in my head and it takes my mind off taking a piss.

It's more of a social anxiety disorder than a phobia. I don't have a fear of public toilets.. I just can't go in front of other people or if they're listening.

[DorianGabriello]

I have RAT PHOBIAS.. I can't stand them, god :( i cant even look at the pitures with rats.. I need to get help i think...

[MidnightEmily]

I used to have a horrible shy bladder, and would never -ever- go on a strange toilet outside home, or if I could hear people. It got such a inconvenience, I just bit my teeth together, held over my ears, and began to sing loud. Eventually I put a "spell" on my bladder, so when I said these words, I could go. Now I got no problem.

It really sucks. Hope you people get over it too.

[ghoods]

this does suck horrible. i have it and it ruins parts of your life. like going out to very busy clubs or a baseball game

[killerfront0]

Shy bladder is so fucking annoying=|

[lindsey1314]

i used to have a shy bladder.

but then it came to the point that it's natural and when you have to go, you gotta go lol

[titomanlio75]

I suffer this since I was a kid. But during my life I developed some tricks to cope against it. Anyone interested send me a pm, I´ll be happy to share them.

[ghaderghader]

hey what do you do?

[titomanlio75]

I suffer paruresis since I was a kid, but during these years I developed some tricks to cope against it. Anyone interested just send me a pm, I´ll share them with you.

[mjameso]

My great uncle suffers from this, we all know he has it and we have to clear the top floor while he uses the toilet otherwise he'll panic and can't go. What's worse is we can't do anything about it cos he's a world war veteran and very proud so he isnt willing to admit he has it. Wish there was sumthn I could do...

[sheetguy12]

i think i might have that

[lightfoot500]

had it since i was 5. now i am 50 and got prostate acting up. there are drugs that relax the smooth muscle that can help. some homeopathic remedies may help. imo one thing that helps is taking karate and sparring, kick boxing because it is a social anxiety. yeah, i have even cathed myself. sucks

[jjj5541]

it isnt a fear of toilets or urinels. it is the inability to use the restrooms when others can see or hear you at the time. i know cuss i have it. it sucks bad.

[24adx]

You may me 'Waiting To Change The World' but you have already changed mine! Respect, Adrian

[Jared8Randall]

It's not really funny.... I had to hold my pee for 13 hours.... it hurt like a bitch and I just couldn't go for some lame reason... I think the reason is that I get it in my head that I cant go, and then I cant. Endless, shity, circle.

[nintendaholic90]

no way, this fake or not?

[smh2o]

How does this treatment work? I'd really would like to know. They didn't show much of how the treatment works. I've had this problem all my life and I'm completely desperate.

[nikandevaspeakman]

Nik and Eva used fear and phobia cure techniques that are broken down into a step by step guide within the pages of their book 'Your Life Can Be Fantastic Too'. Take a look at their website for more details.

[FrenziedLogic]

It funny how people can be so confident in life and have such a big irrational phobia.

[guitargod525]

i have tht im scared of goin to the toilet incase the cubicles arnt free or there are none

[mangosaywha]

I have this too =[

[feineygirl]

My boyfreind suffers from this too.

[Superstarw0w]

Its horrable. I have it to, i need help!

[sk3pointer]

i have the exact same thing and im 15. people dont no how bad it is. long trips are absolute torture. but i disagree with the video. i bet hundreds of people have developed "pee shy" just because of having the thought of this video. But its good that its going public. because it affects 7% of people. it really is torture.

[ls1phsyco]

fuck yeah it sucks, it's hard to get good jobs also and it affects you personal life!

[Superstarw0w]

I have this to. I hate it so much, u cant drink anything etc. Now i just use them and dont care

[sk3pointer]

[Scrabbler27]

@sk3pointer It is torture but I have fears for the future IF I am locked away in prison, being a cripple, being stuck in hospital bed.

[toptimes368]

Thanks for bringing paruresis out of the closet into the public.

[donwon213]

It's amazing, I didn't know Bruce Willis is afraid of Public Toilets. But I'm glad he was man enough to conquer his fears. Go Bruce!!!

[whhooee]

Bruce Willis it must be because Tele Savalas is dead. Die Hard!

[springwater117]

He was probably frieghtened of toilets because he thought Hans Gruber aka Alan Rickman was lurking in there.

[ls1phsyco]

that is not bruce willis
