"Female Urination Device Eases Public Bathroom Phobias"

Public restrooms can be scary for people who suffer from OCD and germ-contamination phobias. 

Public bathrooms can be infested with germs and often they are a main trigger for people who suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and the panic attacks associated with germ contamination issues.
I dread the thought of having to use a public facility because in my bathroom I feel in control because I do all the cleaning and disinfecting but in a public restroom I feel helpless not knowing who used it last. Woman's bathrooms can be especially filthy which is sad to say. I would not eat or drink anything while out and about because of this fear of having to relieve myself among the germs of strangers.It has been a true blessing to be a WAHM! I have worked from home for many places as these jobs offer a fantastic opportunity for people who suffer from OCD, because they do not have to worry about issues such a public restroom fears. My biggest fear of going back to work in a physical workplace is having to use a public bathroom and working from home provides the luxury of running down the hall to my bathroom stocked full of my disinfectants and a familiar seat to sit upon.I even took drastic measures to avoid public restrooms by ordering a Female Urination device called the "GO-Girl" in case I had to desperately relieve myself. If you have never heard of this device here is a link to what it is GO Girl. It is a handy little device that allows woman to urinate standing up like men.This device helps decrease my stress levels by allowing me to feel at ease knowing I am prepared to go in case I ever had to go in some place like a dirty gas station rest stop. I always try to take a step back, breath, and reason with myself. I mean what are the odds of picking up harmful germs from a bathroom? I used so many public bathrooms as a child and most of the population does with no worries. If having a female urination device on hand for emergency helps ease my mind then I say why not carry one. I hope this article helps those other people who may suffer from public bathroom phobias!
