I have conducted many hours of research into Paruresis over the years. The knowledge that I have gained about Paruresis (both factual information about the condition as well as personal stories) acts as the inspiration for the input to the the Ezine Articles that I write as well as the information contained on this Shy Bladder (Paruresis) Blog and my Shy Bladder (Paruresis) Tips website.
I would like to share some of the most useful links that I have come across in the hope that fellow Paruresis suffers will find use in them.
The Official International Paruresis Association (IPA) website: http://www.paruresis.org/
The IPA is a great resource. It includes a discussion forum, information on support groups and seminars as well as a wealth of information on the condition of Paruresis.
The United Kingdom Paruresis Trust (UKPT): http://www.ukpt.org.uk/
A UK registered charity dedicated to helping Men and Women with the condition. Also includes a discussion forum.
For a shy bladder sufferer, wishing to learn more on the subject the above two links (depending on the country you are from) would be my recommended first stop. They are reliable non-profit making resources aimed at arising awareness of the condition.
A useful article on Medicinenet.com: http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=50871
An article from the Men's Health Forum: http://www.menshealthforum.org.uk/peeing/19107-paruresis-are-you-dying-pee
It is always good to see a high profile sight highlight the condition so that others can learn about it and to raise the profile of Paruresis.
The Paruresis Treatment System: http://tinyurl.com/shybladdertreatment
this website advertises a digital product to help people overcome Shy Bladder, but there is also some really useful free information on there as well.
Bathrooms Make Me Nervous: A Guidebook for Women with Urination Anxiety (Shy Bladder): http://www.paruresis.org/bathrooms_make_me_nervous_book.htm
It is good to see a book covering the issue specifically for women. Paruresis is most common with men but many women suffer from the same issue as well and this should be highlighted more often. I think I will aim to dedicate a future post specifically to Paruresis from a women's perspective.

Cope with Paruresis: 5 Paruresis Tips
Hopefully these five Paruresis tips will help you cope with Paruresis in certain situations and make things a little bit easier for you in life!
1: When going out for the evening, don't hold back on the drinking. Enjoy yourself. But dont attempt to pee until you bladder is totally full and you are bursting. You will find it much easier to pee that way.
2: If you fail to pee then stay calm. Don't get annoyed and don't think negatively. Simply walk out of the restroom and come back again when your bladder is more full and you are more relaxed.
3: When at work, use trial and error to find out the best times of days for going to pee in the restroom. You will find that at a certain time of day (around mid-morning or an hour or so after lunchtime) that the restroom may be totally free and you will have more time.
4. Listen to your MP3 player as you enter the restroom.
5. Have a set routine and keep to it. Do the same things in the same order each time. I find that taking out my cell phone and playing around with it, reading a few texts helps.
I hope these tips will be of use to you! Good luck

Welcome to the Shy Bladder (Paruresis) Blog
Hey!
I have decided to start a Shy Bladder Paruresis blog to share my experience with this condition.
Shy Bladder is also known as Paruresis, bashful bladder, stage fright, and pee shyness. It is a form of social anxiety that results in the inability to pee in a public restroom. It is most common with men but women do also suffer from the condition.
The medical term for shy bladder is Paruresis. This term and the condition in general is relatively unknown. Many people will be able to relate to the one-off moment of stage fright in a public restroom, but a lot of people may be surprised to learn that this is an ongoing issue for many people around the world. And a very annoyinng issue at that!
I have a shy bladder and have made some good progress in coping with the condition recently and I would like to share my experiences with others. It is funny how something so simple as needing to go pee when out and about can have such a negative impact on your day! But it does not need to have such an impact.
I have tried out many weird and wonderful techniques to help cope with the condition over the years and I will aim to share these with you.
I also run my own website called Shy Bladder Tips. On this website I recommend a digital download called the Paruresis Treatment System as one possible method to help overcome Paruresis. I will talk about this product and other alternative treatment methods in this blog.
All the best and thanks for stopping by!
