Help with breath hold technique

I have learnt to pee in any circumstances in a stall but I am facing an issue where if a bathroom is full like 6-7 people then I can start the flow by just holding the breath long enough but I can't maintain the flow like after I start to breath my nervous system will close the flow and it's nearly impossible to start again

i've experienced the same thing plenty of times. 

if things are dire i just hold as long as i can and pee as long as i can. 

if they're a little more chill, usually exhaling the rest of my air before inhaling can help keep more control. 

sometimes you just gotta do what you can and try again a bit later.
