All the time before bed. Didn’t realize this was ocd
All the time
Every time I leave the house, I get anxious and think, "I need to go" when I may not actually need to. Sometimes, I can tell my bladder that I'm fine and it goes away, but sometimes my brain goes, "What if you're out and there's no bathroom?" or "Are you *sure* you don't need to?" As if I can't feel and trust my own bladder...
Yes. And sometimes anxiety itself can make me feel like I need to pee until I calm down. So you are not alone on this.
Omg this happens to me all the time. Especially before bed. I have to pee at least 3 times before bed even if I don’t actually have to go.
@emilysteward I don’t go frequently, however I worry about when I’ll have to go. It’s always on my mind. I don’t force myself, but worry about the next time I’ll have to go.
I focus on the bathroom, when I’ll have to go. I don’t go frequently. I can go hours without going. I feel anxious after I go, because I worry that I left bathroom clean.
I’ve noticed this new obsession with having to pee right before bed, like even if I have to pee a little I can’t fall asleep until my bladder is completely empty. Anyone else have a problem like this or knows how to cope?
Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared that i was feeling to good and that my fear is actually true.
Has anyone ever had an intrusive thought of thinking you’ve might’ve swallowed something dangerous and you can’t trust your own mind? And you feel like you need to go in to get checked out? Any advice or reassurance?
