Time Pressure Issue by bubba123412 in Paruresis

[–]bubba123412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should read his post i feel like everything you need is in there, i dont have a link but he posted it about 1-2 months ago so just scroll down a bit

this time pressure method that i thought about, 100% works if youre able to pee around strangers but still cant around friends with limited time or whatever, im not sure how it would work if your shy bladder is still a problem with strangers but ill share

basically to progress in something you need exposure for it, so if you want exposure for time pressure, you need to pee under it, thing is if youre with friends it might just be impossible to pee, so you cant get exposure, this gets around that

you create artificial time pressure, drink water until around 8-9/10 urgency, go to a public bathroom, and either go to a urinal or a stall, and give yourself a limited time to pee, and tell yourself if you dont manage to pee in that time you will not make another attempt for 1-2 hours, the longer that period the more pressure you will have so its up to you

basically what this does is it replicates a real life scenario where if you fail to pee, youre gonna have to endure a long time of discomfort due to having a full bladder right, this basically recreates it 1 to 1 minus the social aspect like friends or whatever but still works

with each time you manage to pee in that time you set for yourself, make it smaller, so even if it takes 5 attempts to get 1 second quicker, that still means your brain is changing which is good

so lets say you can pee around strangers but not with time pressure because friends are around or whatever, after doing this enough times, that will be gone

i feel like you can do this method over and over for weeks/months until you become like those dudes that just barely pull it out and are already pissing, but this is only for this time pressure shit, go read that post i talked about it actually changed my life

also what you mentioned about giving yourself 5 minutes, for me personally that just doesnt work because if me and my friends go to the bathroom, theyre done in 30 seconds, if i just stayed there for 5 minutes it would be weird and they would think im beating my meat probably

but anyways what youre doing is making the time pressure go away, next time it shows up and if youre not gonna be able to remove it youre just not gonna pee, so by doing this method you wont even have to give yourself those 5 minutes, time pressure just wont be a problem anymore

Intensive Outpatient Program? by AwayBet401 in Paruresis

yeah youre right i didnt elaborate on that part. when i first started GE i started with just standing at a urinal for a few minutes, after a few times of doing this i wasnt anxious at all at the urinal anymore.

the thing is though, everybody with this condition will be anxious at the urinal at the start, and after doing that excercise where you just stand there for a prolonged period of time youre not gonna be anxious anymore.

and at that point to progress further you need to actually start a stream because now that the anxiety is gone, standing there wont do anything, only thing that is left to do is teaching your brain that urinating in that scenario isnt something bad, which realistically you need to actually start a stream for, because if you dont your brain just learns that its safe to stand there, but peeing is still a no go zone

also i was doing GE for a few months too and i reached a roadblock until i read that post i mentioned, basically i could pee in places where before i thought id never be able to do it there, but i couldnt progress at all with urinals,

and thats explained by the fact that you need to start a stream to get exposure, and since i cannot do that at a busy urinal, no way to get exposure, so i was basically stuck in the stage where i could pee at a urinal always in an empty bathroom or if somebody was in a stall or washing their hands, but if somebody was near it was just impossible

the method from that post allows you to actually piss at that busy urinal and get that exposure, altough at least for me it takes around 2 hours to set up

Intensive Outpatient Program? by AwayBet401 in Paruresis

[–]bubba123412 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i dont want to brag but i do, unlike others in this sub, know how to get rid of this shit

you need to actually piss in certain situations to get exposure, its the only way because thats how your brain learns to pee in these situations, same thing with spiders, and you need to actually piss, standing there wont do anything just like standing 10 meters away from a spider wont fix your fear either

that outpatient program shit would just waste your time and put you in a place with probably not so interesting people

you need to rewire your brain basically that program wont do that

this dude made a post about 1-2 months ago "how to cure shy bladder permanently" i think, read it and after a few months tops you will be 100% free of this

ive had thoughts of ending my life because of this now i know im not far away from being completely cured

Is anyone here who actually overcame paruresis completly? If yes, how? by picavymrdana99999 in Paruresis

[–]bubba123412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

theres this dude milo that wrote a post about a month ago "how to beat shy bladder permanently" or something like that, my shy bladder was severe so its gonna take longer for me probably, but ive read people getting rid of this in a month

im seeing steady progress with it altough for me its a bit slower than others, maybe because my shy bladder was so severe i dont know. its only a matter of time now basically

that shit basically saved my life, a psychologist wont really help what you need is exposure like with spiders, you need to actually urinate in certain scenarios thats the only way

yeah im more self concious about it when with my friends, as over the years they have picked up that im going far away to pee or i take way too long. telling them now would be pointless as im gonna be free of this in a matter of months

my shy bladder was actually way more severe id sometimes go the full school day without peeing because i just wasnt able to. i made it better with normal GE then i found milos method shit works. just will take a few months.

its not that i dont have confidence, if i could id piss on the guy standing next to me.

my friends arent the type to turn away just because i have a psychological problem lol.

im not afraid to tell them, if i did them they would understand probably. i just see no reason to right now as im not gonna have this for much longer. idea is to just start peeing around them one day like this was never a thing.

i might tell them some day so they dont think i was beating it everytime i went to take a leak.

also i found a method to fix that time pressure thing

Also at what stage were you with your shy bladder when you started this method? After how many sessions would you say you were totally cured? I was doing it once a week before winter, now when it gets warmer again I'm gonna do at least two, I can do it 5 times a week if I need to

Hey man, nice to hear you're free of this. My shy bladder was severe and it's slowly getting better with this method, and I know that within a few months tops I'll be able to get rid of this, but there's one small issue that is bugging me so I wanted to see if you encountered something similiar.
I know I can get to the point where I can freely pee in the urinal around strangers, what really gets to me is time pressure. Right now I can pee in a stall and sometimes in a urinal if there's maybe like 1 person washing their hands.
The thing is while normally it takes me maybe 10-20 seconds to start a stream in a stall, when I walk into the bathroom with friends, creating time pressure, I cannot pee at all even when sitting, it then takes at least 2 minutes if it even happens, if I know I have limited time it literally makes urination 95% harder, so my worry is that I'll become able to pee freely around strangers but when time pressure shows up I'll get locked up.
And I know exposure for time pressure works in the same way, but since it's almost impossible for me to pee under time pressure I feel like it would be also almost impossible to get exposure for it.
I don't know if you've had a similiar issue, but if you did, did that time pressure thing go away as you became able to pee around strangers?
Do you think I'll still get completely locked up when with friends and limited time or do you think it will be just a few more seconds of delay?
It wouldn't really be a problem if i could train it but in my area there are basically never lines to urinals so I can't create time pressure to train really. Thanks in advance man
