I believe this is stress induced and in my head...

3 years ago I started with bad urge to urinate, infection ruled out, bladder scan normal. Prescribed OxyB ER. I took for 1-2 months, was in-between prescriptions and I noticed the urge was completely gone so I stopped. No issues in the last 3 years and 2 months. Out of the blue 3 days ago I am having the same issue - a little less intense but same thing... From what I have read, OAB does not come and go or go into remission.

I have above average stress and recently dealt with a death of a close family member and the death of 4 pets, all in a short period of time. I am taking UTI antibiotics now out of caution, along with AZO, etc. and some old OxyB that I found, and Uqora bladder support pills.

Don't know if this makes a difference but I don't suffer from incontinence or with the fear that I will have an accident - I know my bladder is not full, but when I do urinate, only a small amount, it gives me a few moments of feeling normal and taking the pressure away. The things we take for granted - the few moments between urges are heaven. For me I deal with an almost constant urge but I never come close to an accident.

Any experience or thoughts? Today when I was Xmas shopping (just for a short time) I realized that since I was busy I had not thought about my bladder. Makes me think I have "psychological urge to urinate".

Last restroom visit 7:10p.m. and it is 7:37p.m. now and pressure is there. I read that I am supposed to set intervals, but I want my few minutes of relief!!!

Any advice is much appreciated.

I don’t have urinary incontinence, but I just wanted to say it sounds like you’ve taking some time to really think about what’s going on. I’m glad you’re not having any accidents & hope it remains that way for you. No one wants things to be psychological, I guess time will tell. There’s that old saying, “a mind is a powerful tool”. It’s true, our mind & our thought process can reak havoc on us. I hope others with similar issues chime in and share with you.

Wishing you ongoing wellness & Happy Holidays!

Thank you! I agree that time will tell - praying it is soon. Happy Holidays to you and yours. I so appreciate the reply.

I’m so sorry, really, I went back & reread your original post. To be dealing with the recent death of a close relative & 4 pets has to be very difficult, especially during this time of the year. My heart so goes out to you. I pray the Lord gives you strength & comfort. Feel free to direct message me if you ever need a shoulder to lean on.

Your mind has begun to "take up residence" inside your bladder and you need to move it out, into healthier areas of daily life. Even if you're still thinking about this problem, do many other things, anyway...move your mind into happier, more encouraging activities, letting the background processes regarding your bladder heal themselves, if healing is what they're trying to do.
