Weeing when anxious

[nell15]

Hi does this happen to anyone else? It's so embarrassing. Whenever I'm away from home I need to wee more and can wet myself. If i think I'm not going to find a toilet or that they'll not be clean I worry and then I need to go more frequently. In normal circumstances I'm fine and don't need to 'go' but if I get anxious I can't wait and it's all I can think about. I was on holiday this week and wet myself in a public place yesterday and ended up wearing my coat on a hot day to cover myself up. I'm thinking of getting pads to wear when I'm on holiday

Sorry you're having this difficulty. I would see your gp about this and your anxiety. I know that wee ing and anxiety can be connected as people can often have a phobia about wee ing when in public loos. Also it sounds like you might have a touch of OCD. You can use pads but they weren't solve your problem.
