Hi, Elisa! My parents and my sisters know it but they do not take it seriously, they just think it is because I am fussy. I really have not tried to make them understand, nor I have told them how is it a real condition, like a fobia. However, I think it would be very useful to talk to someone who you think might listen to you and whose presence may cause you discomfort while using the loo. I hope you get through this
