Definitely ocd. Are you looking and being hyper aware about feeling if you have to pee?

basically. like i’ll just be laying in bed and the thought simply the bathroom would pop into my head and then it turns into “i might have to go pee right now, i should go to make sure i empty out my bladder and not go to sleep with anything in my system” but the second i go to the bathroom and go pee there’s literally little to no pee coming out of me!!!

Hi Kinoko! I also have struggled with an overactive blatter which I do believe to be OCD/mentally caused, but there can also be physical attributions caused by stress and anxiety (hai OCD 👋🏻). This can cause your pelvic floor to become really tight and that can cause your bladder to be overactive. Mentally, you have to train your brain to accept the physical discomfort and maybe even mentally throw up your ends and be like "you know what I'm just gonna pee my pants." You can also look into getting an evaluation from a pelvic floor physical therapist and they can help determine if you're tight/clenching a lot.

I have a similar issue whenever my ocd is acting up more than usual and I'm super stressed. I normally notice it when I'm resisting compulsions for my main theme. So basically it'll be night time and I won't even have to pee, but my ocd voice will think "well what if you DO end up having to pee? What if you end up wetting the bed, that'd be embarrassing wouldn't it?" And then I'll forget myself to pee even if I dont have to

i see what you mean. except with me i get this physical sensation that i have to pee, but the moment i go pee little to nothing comes out of me. so i feel like my brain is tricking me and making me become super self aware of my blatter

I do this too but after learning that you can mess up your bladder and then really end up having to pee all the time I’ve cut it back. There is actually something called double voiding. You pee. Stand up maybe wiggle or walk around a min and then pee again. Completely relaxed no forcing. Then all pee is out. I know you may still feel like it’s not but it is. Then you just have to ignore going back.

I have done this my whole life which tells me I’ve had ocd my whole life. I’ll go to the bathroom 3 times in a row just to make sure I got it all out right before bed and it drives me crazy

I started dealing with OCD when I became fixated on health issues, particularly the fear of contracting a life-threatening disease. If I experienced any kind of medical symptom, no matter how small, that even remotely hinted at something potentially fatal, it would drive me crazy, and I couldn’t stop obsessing over it. Then one day, I started having intrusive thoughts about accidentally hitting someone with my car, and I would end up driving in circles to check if I had. Eventually, I found myself overwhelmed by a flood of new obsessive thoughts and compulsions. One day, while I was at the park, a squirrel came near me, and for some reason, I felt like it attacked me. I Googled it and learned that squirrels could carry rabies, which spiraled me into a deep fear of rabies. I became consumed with the thought I received a bite from a squirrel, raccoon, or bat any time I’m in areas that trigger me. It started off only being inside then transferred to even being in my own home. This made me obsess over every physical sensation in my body, compulsively checking to make sure nothing was wrong. One compulsion that I hated the most would to be putting rubbing alcohol on me to make sure that I had no open wounds. Every day feels like I’m walking around in a fog of anxiety, constantly worrying that I won’t even make it to old age. Sometimes, it gets so overwhelming that I just want it all to end. It stresses me so bad at times to where my brain feels like I’ve been studying all day.

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?
