Does anyone here have a problem with peeing constantly from anxiety? I've had blood work done and I've had a urine culture done, and everything came back perfectly normal. I might add, if I am out shopping or I go to a movie or something, I don't pee for hours, but if I am home, especially home by myself, I could pee every 10 minutes! My doctor said since the urine culture and bloodwork where OK, he suspects that it's just anxiety because he knows that I do have a lot of anxiety lately

When anxious the body prepares for the Flight of Fight. One of these preparations is to relax and empty the bladder. I have anxiety and I pee on the hour every hour.

I am the same exact way when I have anxiety. My mom is this way too. When my anxiety kicks in, I pee every 2 seconds, I get extremely cold/shivery and being cold/shivery doesn't help my peeing, haha. I am happy for you though that it's nothing medical, even though anxiety, too, can be detrimental.

U hage that exact problem. My doctor suggested I try bladder training. You pee every half an hour for a week straight. That way if you had to pre before the 30 minutes you would know to ignore it. Then the next week try every hour. It's worth a try if you've tried everything else. I still have problems at night getting up a lot so i take a tylenol pm and it helps alot

And, with anxiety, take the journal entry method to help change the pattern of thought associated with this as well. I had to do this to get back on track after a series of attacks. Best wishes.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
