Actually, my urologist told me that there's a muscle near you bladder that contracts and that sends a signal to your brain that you have to urinate. There are drugs that surpress this muscle, but i mentioned before that the anxiety over-rides the effects of the drug. For me, it's uroxitroll but it doesn't work when i get anxious and stressed. I think it's a form of agoraphobia!

Oh goodness yes. Lastnight I was trying to take a test for Algebra. I was messing the entire test up left and right. Then my stress started to go up and boom potty time. I am not spending the entire day going to the bathroom.

I need to slow down and relax again. Whew.

What do you do to relax?

Adrenals are stimulated through a cyclic phase with anxiety,help being aware of the process and anxiety can help very much,like forget caffeine !

This is a great excercise for the bladder/kidneys.

Yes that happens to me also! when I get anxious I needed to use the bathroom every 15 to 20 minutes because of how anxious I was! lol I'm happy to know it's not just me though.

I can sure relate to this lately. I don't know if anxiety is causing the urge to pee constantly or if I'm peeing constantly and that scary thinking is causing me to go. I just got over a urinary tract infection (UTI) that took two rounds of antibiotics to cure. The last med was Cipro, which is powerful. Anyway I seemed to do fine. But today I've been peeing literally all day long. This is very stressful. How the hell do I know if it's anxiety or another UTI? This is making me nuts. It has greatly affected my life the last few weeks; I don't know what to do. Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Wow until reading this I would have never associated the two. I thought "it was just me" as so many other things :lol: :lol: I mainly experience at bedtime. I always go before bed and as soon as I lay down there it is. Wow, I wonder what other "symtoms" I have that I've just put off as "me"

So how do you deal with it? It's really annoying.
