Hello everybody, I am a college student currently (i don't know how long I will last with this problem). Over the years I have noticed that I have some type of anxiety related bladder problem. It's to the point where I can't focus in my classes (for fear of needing to go to the restroom, along with the fear of being the center of attention). I get really nervous in public especially when sitting down in crowded rooms, and all this anxiety seems to have an effect on my bladder. About 30 minutes or so into classes the effects get much worse, to the point where my face reddens and I feel like I urgently need to go to the bathroom. The urge is abnormally strong, and I know I shouldn't need to go to the bathroom. I have been on and off of paxil for years at a time, and i'm really not sure if it helps. Out of desperation I have started taking it again. I can't seem to find any information on disorders like this on the internet. It's not such a big problem outside a classes since theres usually a bathroom which I can freely get to, but i'm sure you can see how this would be a terrible affliction to be troubled with in classes (very embarassing as well).



Has anybody heard of a disorder like this? What should I do?



It's too the point where I hate my life, and I feel like im just 1 person out of billions of people with this problem. My life would be so much easier without this. I just want to feel like a normal person.



Any help would be very much appreciated!



Thanks,
stephen
