Yes I have had this problem before, for sure. I have always had strange issues with my bladder and OCD, I use to think when I was a young child that I couldn't urinate, then I would distress about it. Then as I got older I had problems on my school bus, I had a long ride home and I use to think that I would urinate on the bus ride home, or I wouldn't be able to urinate when I got home. Then I had it vanish for YEARS, then I had my first child and I had a UTI as a result, which is very common after vaginal birth, however, I started to stress about it, then after three months it went away. Then I had my second and by now I have my OCD under, some what livable control. THEN IT happened I was horrified by the thought of that happening again a UTI after child birth, I didn't get one, but I thought for sure every single minute I was getting one. Then it went away, then after my son was a year and old I got the symptons, out of now where, I started thinking it was because I bought these new shoes, YES CRAZY, but thanks to OCD, I had a bout with my bladder for almost a month and a half......yes, then I was o.k....I obessed about it, I made my husband, (who thank gawd is very understanding and can help me, not be negative) measure his pee, log down how many times a day he went to the washroom, etc....then low and behold it went away!
Then I was again horrified this year that it would come back, honestly this will sound, and I mean OUT THERE, but to the OCD suffer, you will understand (OCD isn't fact or even realistic thoughts) I purchased my dream truck.......and I was really bothered from that, because I have issues with getting something I wanted, verses something I needed.....so I started obessing about the truck, about things, about greed, etc......I then notice my licence plate had P, yes the letter P in the numeric and alpha plate make-up.......so six months after getting it, I suddently thought because of this I was going to have urination problems, because P stands for PEE, get it, yes OCD, what a mind it can be! So I obessed, I became depresed and upset and of course as we all know and can relate, anxiety cause frequent urination....because you but your bladder into spasm mode, and crunch your muscles all up and cause the sensation of having to urinated. This is very true, hence scared shitless, or I was so nervouse I pissed my pants, there is very much truth in that. I have read that soldiers in battle will often urinate in their pants and sometimes poop. It is the body reactions to cetain hormones and heart elevations and such, not sure all the science of it, but it is true. However, there is also factors to play into it, such as what you eat can irritate your bladder, and when we are in an ocd moment we become depressed usually and we crave BAD FOOD, chocolate, sugars, junk food, which all are bladder irritants, I hope this helps out some......let me know.
