Feel like I have to pee-when I don't
I have developed a problem where when in certain situations-particularly ones where I either can not leave, or would feel rude or uncomfortable leaving (ie: on the bus, in class, in a meeting) I start to feel like I have to pee. It is completely in my head-when I go to the bathroom I don't actually have to pee. I also normally go 4-5 hours without peeing when I don't think of the problem. Ie: I recently went on vacation and not once on the vacation did I have this problem-sometimes we'd be out hiking for 5 hours, I'd be drinking throughout the hike, and still not feel this way.
It has begun to seriously interfere with my life. I feel worried to apply for any job where I may have to attend meetings. I am frightened of going on the bus. I feel uncomfortable throughout my lectures in school and can't concentrate.
I went to see a therapist a while back who told me it sounded like an anxiety disorder. So I started researching anxiety and started doing daily exersize, breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, etc. It helped IMMENSLY and I thought i was cured.
Now it has started to come back and it is happening in more and more situations. I'm confused because I don't feel stressed or under anxiety-everything else in my life is going well. So I'm reluctant to take medication for anxiety. When I am at home, or when I'm hanging out with my partner, it never happens. If for whatever reason I forget about it-it doesn't happen. But it seems that its become such a problem that as soon as I sit down on the bus, for example, I start thinking about it and worrying about it and I can't stop.
I try to distract myself by reading, calling people from my cell phone, but no matter how hard I try, I can't stop thinking about it.
ANY HELP??????

I had something similar to this awhile back and the doctor diagnosed me with nervous bladder, have a read into it. There are treatments available but the drug they gave me gave me terrible dry mouth and I had to stop taking it. It’s much better now so hopefully it will get better with time.

I have this sensation as well. I never have had to take medication or anything. I use my inner voice to talk my way through it. I make a proactive attempt to empty my bladder, pay attention to what I'm drinking and then just say "you just went, you're okay". Usually it works. Sometimes it doesn't but that is ONLY when I end up really having to go (as witnessed when I do). :>)
The same thing is happening to me!.. I go and tell myself I can get through the next hour or so but right when I sit down again I feel like I’m gonna pee my pants and I can’t handle it. But then when I’m home I still feel it but choose to ignore it? And I’ve been noticing it’s been getting worse when my period comes around! If I’m distracted or driving the car I’m fine but if I’m riding along I can’t contract and I start freaking out which makes me feel worse. I just wanna be able to sit on the toilet for the rest of my life. It’s causing me to not go places or eat anywhere. Having to say I can’t hangout with friend or even go on dates to the movies or anywhere I have to sit for a little while or even a few minutes! I have to go to the bathroom every time before I leave the house or do something or else I’ll feel like I’m gonna pee my pants! And it seems like it gets better until it on my period again than it seems I start back at phase 1..

Been to the doctor?
I just wrote this to someone else, but I also have a nervous issue where I'll have to feel like I have to go to the bathroom when it would be inconvenient to do so. I have a friend I walk with and it's a long trail and nowhere to go along the way . . . when we start, I get the sensation. I always go before I leave and know I can make it. I tell myself this as you do. And then get busy either talking to my friend. Or if I'm alone, thinking about something. When I go somewhere like a meeting or a class that I don't want to get up to use the restroom for, I say to myself "so what if I do". I rarely actually do but I give myself permission to make a bathroom trip and know it's not the end of the earth. Nor is taking 5 minutes to go before I leave the house. It's one of my quirks in life. good luck
ps: you might try when you are at home going ahead and drinking more water than usual as perhaps the bloating is putting pressure on your bladder. Not uncommon. The extra water helps flush out fluid believe it or not. Drinking water helps with bloating. But do it when it's no big deal at home using the restroom. By the way, are you like me that when you are at home, the urge to go isn't really prevalent like it is just at times you don't wan tot stop what you are doing to go like a meeting, exercise class, movie, etc.? good luck
Hi, thanks for posting this, I am glad I am not the only teenager girl going through this. I’ve been trying to go before lessons, so I avoid missing class, but lately this has not been helping much at all. I find it only really bothers me when I am thinking about it, which has been all the time lately. I’ve tried meditation, deep breathing, and herbal teas, to relive my anxiety, so far it hasn't helped much for me. Lately I’ve had to resort to going home sick from school when it becomes too much, but this just makes the problem bigger. When I get home from school the whole thing seems like a joke, but my anxiety kicks in the very next day. Sorry this hasn't been more help I am also desperate for a cure. I use to have this problem and I think I forgot about it and got rid of it, so there must be a way:) but I am determined not to let this ruin my grades, so I am going to try tackling it straight on, and focusing on bigger problems. Good luck!! What is UTI? Does it help?
i have the same problem xc my anxiety started like 2 months ago at the beginning of the semester. im a freshman girl in high school and i have to go to the bathroom 5 times during the school day. I actually did have a UTI but because my kidneys are weird, it really burned when i went to the restroom and its so embarrassing but what caused the anxiety was when the UTI started (November) one day i needed to go pee at school but i ignored it, 2 hours later it was time to go home and thinking my mom was home i thought id just hold it in until i got home. my mistake, my mom wasnt home and the burning sensation was killing me to the point where i couldnt hold it in anymore. i peed myself luckily there was no one around until my mom got home and the anxiety started because i drank alot of coffee one morning and before i know it i need to constantly pee and now that the UTI is gone it left the anxiety behind i feel so bad sometimes in class i feel like im gonna pee
my pants and then i feel like crying. My grades are dropping becarse of this. my mom thinks im imagining things and doesnt believe me. PLEASE HELP anyone tell me how to get rid of this. its starting to control my life.

Did you find a cure... I have the same problem..
Thanks everybody, same here. I'm 27 + Male. Just a few things I've learned throughout the years:
-Consider your past- have you ever actually peed yourself in a similar situation? If you've had the urge to go last time but have managed to hold on for 30 mins then you can do it again.
-Consider the context- I was so caught up in social demands, expectations and other people's thoughts- physically speaking: fluids go into your mouth and come out of your penis/vagina- it's a completely natural process and there in nothing inherently "wrong" about when you feel the need to go
-This may sound a bit rude but people generally don't care about us and our actions as much as we think. Think about it this way- during your last exam did you take notes on who was going in and out of the bathroom or were you focused on the paper? At your last business meeting, did you time how long a staff member slipped out for or were you thinking about something to say to impress your boss? During your last flight did you take notes on how often the guy in 22D used the toilet in a 5 hour flight or were you thinking about what sights to see in your travel destination?
-The best think about our memory span is that after time- we forget things that aren't important. You may be able to recall which staff member excused themselves from a meeting a couple of days ago to use the toilet but can you recall a meeting 2 months ago? Even if you have a fear of having a "label" attached- e.g the guy that always leaves half way through the weekly meeting- chances are in a years time you'll have different people in different meetings. I know that may seem hard to swallow now but do you genuinely care about the thoughts of your workmates in the very first job you worked, now?
-See your doctor- I got prescribed meds call "Beta Blockers" which lower your blood pressure and generally calm you down. Sometimes its not about taking the meds but just having them available.
-See a counsellor/ psychologist- especially if its anxiety related, I saw a wicked one for about 4 sessions and learned about the root of the problems. She discussed hypothetical situations with me too- for example, Imagine you're in a 2 hour meeting and 40 minutes during the meeting somebody slipped out and returned 5 minutes later. Would you really mind? Would you feel like they disrupted the meeting? Would you feel like them slipping out was unnatural? Would you really feel as if they did anything wrong?
-Preparation- sometimes even if your craving that morning coffee its just not worth it before a big meeting and probably will ramp up the anxiety. -
-Timing toilet visit directly before meetings etc.
-Booking aisle seats on planes.
- In meeting sitting closest to the exits helps me- I find its sometimes a case of "If I had to slip out, how easy would it be?"
-Meditation- breathing exercises/ body scans before a long event- any other Aussies out there- a phone app called "Smiling Mind" is awesome- it has 5minute breathing/ body scan exercises which you can plug in headphones and do.
-Finally give yourself some credit- you've had a challenge to deal with for years now, you've learned a lot and your slowly improving to make things better. You're participating in life despite the anxiety and you all should be bloody proud of the strength of character you've developed through solving new problems everyday.

I too have this problem I've had it in the past, it went away now back again I am on an antibiotic for a UTI and have a bad cold at the same time no pain with the urination but leaking a little and peeing when I cough sometimes it's embarrassing and frustrating,and of course now I'm reading and thinking about it I feel I need to go again.. ugh I am on meds for anxiety and PTSS. Anyone going through these things please comment. The hardest part is thinking I'm alone...
Hi everyone. I know this is an old thread but it's worth it to put my experiences on the table.
I first had this happen to me when I was 15/16 a few months before my school GCSE exams. It was a horrible feeling just being in a huge hall with loads of people and tables. I asked if I could do mine in a classroom where other students who had issues did there's. However it was too late. I never went during an exam but other people did. I just couldn't handle the thought of everyone thinking oh look at him, can't not wait for an hour and a half ect.
After that it continued into college where I only knew one person. It was embarrassing, I would go before class, break, lunch, break and after class. My friends latched on and said I used to 'disappear'. I used to use some excuse but I'm pretty sure they knew. had in that time been to the doctors and urologist. After 4-5 months I think it was it just disappeared. It just vanished. I was free. I was able to enjoy my life.
However it came back out of no where for the last few years when I was serving as a Cadet. We used to go on duties and practice marching be on parade every week. I don't know how I coped. The worst thing which I always dredded was Poppy Day on Sunday. Where all the local cadets units from the city army, police, navy ect would all match in the street and then stand for an hour service and then March back. On top of that I became the head cadet too which meant that I had too stand in front off all the other cadets and give orders. I was close to quiting but I only had a few months service left until I turned 18.
Again it vanished until a year later when me and my family went on holiday to wales. We live south of London on the coast so the journey was going to be 4-5 hours by car. Again I was dredding it and this toilet in my head issue had come back shortly before I knew. I was okay going there, we stopped twice, coming back I had to ask my dad to pull off at the next motorway to junction as I couldn't bare it any longer. Whilst we were there it wasn't as bad as It had been. Aroynd that time I'd also got a job in my local shop and being stuck behind a counter was not nice. My boss never knew but I did have to sneak to the toilet quite often.
Again it went quiet somehow and I was able to live my life. I became an assistant manager for the British Red Cross and was able to work on the till on my own sometimes for hours on end. Sometimes up to 7 hours without ever needing to go.
Now just recently I've changed jobs and its back again. I'm now a traffic warden walking on the best for 8 hours a day. As I said It had been quite for almost a year and a half. I could last like any other person. The training was fine. It was a week in a classroom. On my first day on the beat heading to work It came back. I couldn't believe it. It was so bad that I had to get off the bus early. It was so bad that I even asked the driver if he could open the doors at the red lights. I thought I was actually going to pee. I didn't. I was fine. I managed to walk to the closet toilet and get to work. I though it was bad then, I could last 2 hours max with my trainer. She was a women so she always went when I did most of the time. I was with her for 2 weeks and a few times I had to go and use the toilet at a mechanics and a cafe. I'm now solo currently on my own doing the beat. I'm able to relax a little more. But it's just made it worse. I feel like I have to go every 30 minutes. Thankfully there are a number of public toilets but it's really embarrassing having to go back again and again. I've been to the doctor again who said it's most likely the stress of starting a new job. So after a month now I'm still waiting for it to calm and go away again.
Lastly on top of that I have my driving test in a few days time. I have to last for an hour at most without going. My driving lessons are two hours normally and it's embarrassing and a nightmare. I feel better when I'm driving though as I know I can pull over when the urge is too bad. I recently told my instructor and he's really nice about it. Because it's so bad at the moment, the worst it's ever been I've actually told my family for the first time. I've also bought 1 pack of adult 'special' underwear. I'm inly going to use 1 for my driving test. I won't probably use it but it'll help me relax and keep my mind off of it. I won't wear then again though because I feel it will just make it worse.
Overall so far it's been on and off coming at me once a year for a few months. Things that have helped though are slim. Wearing cycling/running shorts seen to help a little though as they make it tighter. I will tell you if I ever find a cure but the only one I know if is time. There's nothing you can really do. Just relax. You know it's in your head. I've never had an accident. I won't either. When I feel like I'm really busting I'll get to the toilet, un-zip and then have to stand there for a few minutes usually before anything happens.
Good luck everyone, you many look around and think how can I be the only one this way but you're not.
Have faith :)

I got this when I was 15 during my first shroom high. I thought I totally soaked myself and ****** up my brain so I was the only one with this problem. The school year went by and it got worse throughout. Especially during tests and movies or times I had to sit for awhile. Road trips also suck. Idk what to do because its crazy bad like u wouldn't believe. I don't get it at home but it literally has made my life only about that. No one had any clue I am experiencing this condition because idk what to say it is. I want to diagnose it then treat it on my own without anyone knowing. Super embarrassing. I'd get stabbed again if it made the issue go away honestly. Anyone found a cure PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Did you find a cure for it? Help me,
All: I love you All! I feel that is important! And it IS!. Having been here before, love and understanding is a BIG part! BUT YOU HAVE TO WORK THIS OUT FOR YOURSELF! And YOU do! I've had roughly 5 years break from this and YOU CAN do this too, as I can again! - I WILL do this again - I WILL GO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES OUTSIDE WITHOUT WANTING TO PEE!!!!!
I hope you are still here! I had this exact same thing about 14 years ago and it has just started again for me. It is frustrating at the very most and I totally understand the 'enough!' stage of it! It's OK to say 'distracting yourself' helps and it does! But it is a totally different thing doing it in practice. I wish I had the answer as I have been here before, going to the doctor didn't help me - it took a bad patch and coming out the other side! to help BUT there is nothing like that going on now, so why am I going through it again?! I'm going to try positive thinking - I am fine, there is nothing wrong with me - I can do this and so much more! Fingers crossed XXX
I am 15 and I've had this problem for almost a year. It started in an assembly in the first week of school for absolutely no reason, and caused a panic attack which soon became a regular thing. I thought I had a UTI, so I went to get tested but there was nothing. At first it was just at school, then it was also public places, now it's at home as well. Also, sometimes now I actually do have to pee. This is ruining my life and making me depressed, I've tried to kill myself because of this and the depression it causes. I'm terrified about my GCSEs, because what if I need to pee during an exam? How can I go to Uni, or get a job? I don't see the point in living, and I know that sounds dramatic, but I can't even leave my house.
I can't remember the last time I left the house not to go to school. I can't remember what it felt like to not feel like this. I can't explain it to friends because it's humiliating.
I really don't want to take medication, but I will if there's no other option. I've tried therapy but it wasn't for me. Anyone with an experience of hypnotherapy or even staying in an inpatient, because I'll do anything to fix this.

I've had this problem for the last three years. I was on SRI drugs for about a year but the drugs didn't help. I started wearing pads everywhere I go so I don't feel so anxious, but depending on the situation it doesn't help completely. The only way to solve this problem is to somehow convince ourselves that we won't pee our pants, but it's hard to do that...
How is everyone doing? Anybody have any new ideas or advice? I've stopped taking my medication so uncomfortable situations are popping up more frequently. I had to attend two weddings recently, and sure enough once the ceremony started I felt like I was going to pee my pants, but couldn't leave!
I started doing yoga and try to meditate daily, but I don't know if these things are helping.

I have this problam and am so glad to see im not alone! Its the worst thing. How are people surposed to live a propper life with this? If you cant even sit still, constantly fidgeting in fear of peeing yourself in front off ppl. Ive had bladder infections before, and this is definatly not that...its in my head, but surely theres something that can be done about this??? Im so upset to see theres not really a cure.
I developed this problem through anxiety i was tested at the doctors for any infections and i was clear, they wanted me to go to like a hospital for mental illness but i didnt want to go so i saw a hypnotherapist and it really helped me I still occasionally get the problem where I feel anxious and have to go to the toilet before any journey of length or if I'm going somewhere I'm nervous for, nothing has ever happened I just feel anxious, I find it better if I don't drink anything for at least an hour before I go because then I know I don't need to pee because I haven't drank anything that hasn't already been peed out I'm worried for my holiday in a few weeks cos I'm going with my best mates and some of the trips take an hour to get there I hope that being with my friends will distract me but I find listening to your favourite songs on your I pod or looking out the window letting your mind wander to other things helps hope that I may have helped someone with this, its nice to know it isn't just me I'm only 17 but I was 15 when I developed the issue, I would recommend a hypnotherapist or a reiki therapist it really does help if you put your faith into and keep an open mind because I realise it can sound like a load of rubbish :)
oh man. This anxiety issue has alot of causes. I was fine until 21. I had alot of stress, upsets, deaths in family, i had drugs smoking drinking eating crap etc. One day all of a sudden I got on a bus and had anxiey attack. I freaked out because I didnt know what was happening. Then I started getting them everywhere. Full blown panic attacks. I know why now because of the fear of having one. I would walk and have a panic attack. Everywhere, shops, buses, trains, movies, cars, at the lights, planes, travel, basically everywhere. Then even in my own home. I would wake up and have them.
So I thought I mite aswell sell the car because i cant drive. Oh yeah in this process I stopped smoking, drinking and drugs all at once. Then there was three deaths in the family. Plus other stuff.
I thought I l put myself in one of those physco wards. I went to the doctor and he said your fine your not nuts. You just need some help.
So I got conselling. the next street from my house. It went 3 times a week. It was so hard. I was eating really well.
It took over five years to get better. But still wont go on a place.
Oh yeah I got help aswell. Like life coaching, holographic kinetics, hypnothearpy, eft, and other techniques.
So then a couple of years ago I started feeling like i need to pee when i dont. This really *****.
I am the same i go somewhere where i dont feel i have control, though iam not thing about it. Like movies, fuctions, big events and especially travel. Because iam going away from my comfort zone.
The thing is that when i feel like i need to pee when i dont, i go to the toilet and i cant go at all. Imagine bursting but nothing. Its the worst feeling ever. The only way it goes is if i get out of that situation.
This is not living. i want to travel, go places, do so much but feel so restrricted.
I know about positive thinking, I know so much about all this stuff but i still have it.
It takes alot of efffort. I think you have to really change your thinking, meditate, eat well, get the emotions out, let the fear go and get alot of sleep. From my experience the only person that can heal this is you. I know that ***** cas you just want a cure or quick fix but it doesnt work that way.
So I thought I mite aswell sell the car because i cant drive. Oh yeah in this process I stopped smoking, drinking and drugs all at once. Then there was three deaths in the family. Plus other stuff.
I thought I l put myself in one of those physco wards. I went to the doctor and he said your fine your not nuts. You just need some help.
So I got conselling. the next street from my house. It went 3 times a week. It was so hard. I was eating really well.
It took over five years to get better. But still wont go on a place.
Oh yeah I got help aswell. Like life coaching, holographic kinetics, hypnothearpy, eft, and other techniques.

hey everyone, just saying that ive been having this problem for about a year and a half now and the one thing that ive noticed that works is kegel exercises. i do them for about a week and then the problems goes away for a month or two. if i had the persistance it would go away all together. look them up, usually this sort of thing is due to weakened pelvic floor muscles. see how you go :)
This is from my post on the forum. Hi everyone, I am a male in my late 20's. I want to share with everyone of a temporary solution to this problem. I have the similar thing, which started 6 months when I was taking midterms. I am currently a college student and this problem was driving me crazy but I am trying to find different things that help. Regular exercise and mediation helped me, however sometimes at critical moments I felt that I needed to be sure that I wasn't going to embarass myself in front of people so I decided to wear adult size diapers. This is definitely not a permanent solution but it helps when you need to feel that assurance that you are protected. It's definitely a mind thing and it will relieve you of the stress in those critical moments such as: exams, meetings, lectures, bus rides. I don't wear it all the time, but only those times when I know I am going to have an anxiety issue. You can start by putting them on initially, then gradually taking them off and leaving one in your backpack or purse so you feel like there is an escape. Hopefully this will help you guys.

I have found what can help and possibly CURE this condition. I too currently have this condition, and each and every day it is slowly leaving me. I have taken up hypnosis. But in order for hypnosis sessions to work, you must believe you can get over this and actually get to the point where you can't take it anymore. Try hypnosis. I promise it will make it better.
I'm a bit confused with your post..sorry. You are saying that in closed in situations where you don't have the freedom to get up and leave you feel you have to use the bathroom all the time?
