For people that have a fear of wetting themselves before going to bed, I had the same obsession BUT! here’s how I fixed it: Before going to bed, I go to the bathroom. It’s a nightly routine thay most people follow, but that’s where the issue started. My OCD would tense me up so much, I couldn’t pee. So, I said to myself, “I’m going to pee by the count of 5. If I don’t, I’m going to bed and I’m not getting up.” So I counted 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… and if I did not start going to the bathroom by the end of my count, I said to my mind, “You didn’t let me pee, so I’m going to bed and will not get up.” Let me tell you, my mind was PISSED off and VERY anxious. But I didn’t get up and I didn’t give in. This obsession went away after a month.

I have a very similar obsession! Do you have advice for a fear of wetting yourself in general?

Do something similar, I’d say. When you’re really stressed and tense, it’ll feel like you need to pee but you don’t have to. But that signals to your mind and OCD that you have to pee OR ELSE. It’s a bothersome loop that you have to train your mind and OCD to break.
