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

Any update to this? I'm dealing with the same exact issue... and have been for over 2 years.

back in october i made my first post about my specific type of ocd, how it mixes in with my day to day and how i “deal” with it. i talked about the starting point, how it gradually got worse, and then how it was going just a few months ago. i always think it’s insane how much can change in just the course of a small to a large amount of time. right now, i honestly feel like garbage. to be quite sincere i really want to give up, i’m barely holding on by a thread. and if i cut that thread, i really doubt anyone would care. i’ve never considered myself to be a suicidal person, and i still don’t consider myself that right now. it just gets to a point where it’s just, a lot to deal with. i don’t really enjoy things a lot nowadays. sure i have good days like everyone does, like today, when i was just enjoying my day without worries. but then it all comes crawling back twice as bad the following days. i take online college so i’m usually just stuck at home most of the time. but, when i do decide to actually go out and leave my house, my ocd just explodes because i have this whole routine i need to do or else i feel like i’ll contaminate wherever i end up going. i’m not going to go really deep into my compulsions because it’s hard enough to live with them, much more having to type them all out in detail. but when i go out my compulsions go from wiping down all my stuff i’m going to use after showering, to washing my clothes/cleaning the washer + dryer. i also have separate things (or two of the same thing) i use specifically in my house, and items i use when going out. such as shampoo/body wash, deodorant, lotion, hair curler, etc. as if that’s not draining enough, i also feel the need to fast a couple days prior to any plan i make because i’ve forced myself to believe i need to feel empty in order to be clean. i’m not sure if that’s my past eating disorder talking, or my ocd, but my brain can’t help but think any food in my house is utterly and completely contaminated. i’m so tired of this feeling, feeling like nothing will ever be clean again. feeling like my ocd is trapped in my childhood home. feeling that wave of diseases rushing through my veins the moment i step foot into what’s supposed to be “home”. and i’m so scared of therapy because what if i do get healed, and then everything comes rushing back the second i step into my room. i’m planning on moving somewhere far from my current house in this next coming year, so sometimes i feel like just waiting it out. but it’s insufferable when going to hangout with someone. i miss my friends, my family, and my partner. it’s crazy to me that i’m dealing with all this at the young age of 18 but, i’m sure lots of people have it way worse. i just want to find a way out, any possible way. but i keep pushing myself deeper and deeper that when i finally find a way, it will no longer exist.

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?
