You are right. Most people experience this the first times they try to wet or mess their diapers or pants. You are trying to overturn years of condititioning. You have been told that this is bad ever since you were about 2 years old. "Big boys don't pee in their pants" That was what I was told everytime I had an "accident?". If you keep trying and instead of pushing and trying to force yourself to pee, just wait until you really feel that you have to go, then put on a diaper. Go stand in front of the potty and try to relax. Instead of inhaling and holding your breath as you try to pee. breathe deeply and allow your whole body to relax as you think about swimming in a warm heated pool. Keep trying, and it will get easier over time.
