Yes anxiety can make the symptoms worse, it can make anything worse. I have that urge to pee also especially in the early morning. I can go and still feel like i have to go. So frustrating not being able to empty your bladder all the way.

Anxiety is your worse nightmare ..specialy when we think and dwell on the negative things life throws at us.. also our own health issues , bring out the worst of Anxiety;s

Yes. when i am sick especially when i don't know what's wrong with me i get terrible anxiety. I had stomach problems a few yrs ago that i believe started out "real" but then anxiety took over and perpetuated it and made it worse. I had all theses tests done and to medications. Even had a trip to the er cause i couldn't sleep for 3 days as my stomach pain and nausea was so bad. Never found out what was wrong but the gi specialist dr tried to put me on depression meds sneakily.. I thought maybe i am crazy and this is all in my head. So i just ignored it and it stopped but not before i lost 20lbs and was down to 100lbs.
Hang in there and try to rationalize things. my Dr was going to put me on a bladder relaxant a couple weeks ago to decrease that urge to urinate but i declined at this time. How old are you? You probably don't have ic
