Thanks bb2023 - I appreciate your reply and you not taking the p*ss out of my situation. I was worried that people would just make me out to be a freak or turn it all into a joke. It has been something that has embarrassed me for nearly 20 years now - it was a nitemare at college and I thought it would have calmed down by now. It seriously affects my life - everything from the clothes I wear/buy to going on dates. I am so embarrassed about it all, but I appreciate your reply. Thank you
