recently, I have had a bladder problem, in
that i feel like I'm going to leak or
dribble some urine. I panic and then am
extremely tense and find it hard to relax.
I used to have this problem about a year
ago but it has disappeared over the last
year. Now, for no reason that I can think
of, it has come back!
It used to happen only when I was nervous,
but now it is most of the time, cos I am
worrying about it happening! If I am
completely relaxed, then it is fine.
It is a nightmare trying to sit as i feel
like i'm going to pee, and sometimes quick
movements cos a leak. it is particularly
bad straight after the shower/bath or
swimming.
This is a huge problem, as I am an 18 year
old student, I have a social life, a
boyfriend and have to sit through numerous
lectures and classes. I also find driving
difficult when I am in this tense state.
It is really difficult to relax.
I do sometimes wear pads if it is really
bad, but this is very unattractive for my
boyfriend, and I don't want to appear like
this.
Please help me, I would go to the family
doctor but don't know how to explain this
as I think she might not find anything
wrong with me, as i think it could be a
mental problem.
