I've been suffering from parcopesis AND paruresis for as long as I can remember. I never knew it was acctually a common problem until like a week ago when I was reading about japanese toilets (cause I have weird hobbies...) and it somehow led me to the wikipedia link to paruresis and later parcopesis.
It's quite bad for me. #1 I can SOMETIMES do on a public bathroom or with people in the house if there's a lot of noise around, like loud music or toilets flushing, but #2 is serious. I make my mother and boyfriend (we have been together for more than 3 years...)leave the house when I have to go, and let's not even discuss going outside my place. it's just too hard. :S
I have no idea why I have this problem, but believe me, I'm really happy to find people who finally understand me! :D
