In case you are not aware of it, there exists an anxiety disorder that manifests in a rather unusual way.
The person affected by it detests going to any public restroom to relieve his or her bladder.
The disorder is called paruresis or bashful bladder syndrome.
A person afflicted by the disorder will do everything, including the possibility of going home just to urinate.
As far as the paruretic is concerned, only the comfort room at home is safe for urinating.
Paruretics normally keep their disorder confidential and that explains why you probably don't know of anyone who is afflicted by the disorder.
But they could just be lurking around.
In fact some paruretics may not even be aware that they have the condition.
They might have been living with that condition as far back as they can recall without even realizing that it is abnormal and something that needs to be seriously addressed.
Some who experience the syndrome may even rationalize the condition, for example, as being obsessive with cleanliness and sanitation such that they cringe at reliving themselves in public restrooms.
Possible external indicators that a person is paruretic could be indicated by behaviors tending to avoid being out of the home for long periods.
This may include avoiding invitations such as going to parties and other social functions.
You may think that someone is unsociable but the surprising reality is that he or she is actually suffering from paruresis.
Fortunately, with proper recognition of the disorder, paruresis can easily be managed and ultimately cured.
The first step is the afflicted individual's recognizing the symptoms and realizing that he or she has paruresis or bashful bladder syndrome.
The second step is tracing the possible origin of the behavioral disorder.
Once the origin has been traced, the afflicted person will have to go through a process of reversed behavioral modification.
He or she must realized that the first incident that led to the development of the bashful bladder syndrome in him or her has no real power to shape the behavior that led to the current disorder.
If you have the symptoms and recognized this behavioral aberration as present in you, then you would have gone through the very important first step needed to rid you of that disorder.
