Yes, there is certainly a connection between the two. The added stress & anxiety of what is going on now is making my incontinence worse as well. Keep the faith, hopefully this will run its course soon! Hugs!

Hey Marisalove, It’s very noticeable to me that my issues get worse when I’m stressed or rundown at all so I think it’s quite likely it’s effecting you as well.

I’m hoping if your able to reduce your anxiety levels things will improve for you, although I understand how hard that can be as each time you wake up wet just adds to the anxiety levels when you go to bed that night, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. I’ve had counseling in the past, although mine was more to help me come to terms with my issues, but it’s something you could consider if things are getting on top of you.

But, if your not ready for that, we’re here to chat whenever you like, and your welcome to message me if you feel you need to vent at all. :)

Yes when iam stressed my bed wetting gets really bad

No doubt about it! I spoke to my doctor this week about having an increased amount of bedwetting accidents lately, she said directly that stress and anxiety can irritate the bladder and a spiked number of people have reported all sorts of sleep disorders recently. She suggested no liquids after 4pm but I'm finding that really hard...

Anyway, best of luck with it, hopefully it'll pass when certainty starts coming back into all our lives :)

The health situation in the world is very stressful. I think we just have to wait. Just protect your sheets or protect yourself at night, I cannot live without drinking in the evening so I protect my bed and myself. My daytime and nighttime issues have clearly worsened since the outbreak started.

I agree that the health crisis can cause much stress,I am suffering with another bladder infection,just started on a antibiotic, in the meantime my incontinence has been heavy, I will have to resort to maximum absorbancy diapers. Every one we can encourage one another to remain strong we will get thru these difficult times, My wifes relatives in Italy have 3 neighbours in hospital with the virus. We are hoping they dont get sick.

Definitely I do! Things like new term, starting at uni, exams etc all make it worse.

Stress affects me, making me wet the bed more frequently. Not having to go to work at the moment is a bit better for me, but I'm sure that once work starts again I shall be back to normal, with more wet beds.

Dear Marisa, yes, anxiety and nervousness are definitely increasing the wetting of my daughter and I have to take extra care of her in these circumstances.

Stress plays such a factor in so many aspects of health, physically and mentally. Using this quarantine period to practice meditation / prayer / listening to soothing music for at 30 mins will help reduce the stress and anxiety you are feeling. We don't usually have this time to be still and try to reduce the noise in our minds.

I wet every night anyway but I do find that I have more day time issues when stressed and/or anxious. I use the TENA Slip Maxi active fit adult nappies/briefs and I find the security of wearing them during the day reassuring when this happens so I can get on with my day.

I've just started having bedwetting problems this past couple of weeks. Think it's due to anxiety but just awaiting a consultation from my doctor. Would appreciate any help an advice from fellow suffers.
