Hello, I am 24 years old and I struggle with frequently having to urinate. I have struggled with anxiety since 18 and last November is when this randomly started out of the blue. It has been horrible, I don't like to do anything or leave my house - only a few people know and they don't know the extent of it. Every where I go I have to find the bathroom immediately, when I go to the bathroom it feels like I didn't go all the way and I can't hold it. I have never had an accident or leakage but if I have to go at all it will feel like I won't make it to the bathroom. It is very uncomfortable and embarrassing, I don't like to go out in public with anyone, I don't like to ride in the cars with others. I have seen a Urologist and she has me on Myrbetriq 50 mg and I am on Prozac for my anxiety. I have seen some improvement however, when something I am anxious about is coming up I can't control it again. The next 2 weeks I will be majorly out of my comfort zone - I am going to Nashville with my boyfriends whole family for 3 days (none of them know) and the week after that I am going to New Orleans for a bachelorette ( the only one who knows is my sister). I am very stressed and anxious, if anyone has any tips that would be great. Car rides are hard for me because I usually have to go stop every hour sometimes more. I hope I can fix this and not have to live my whole life with this.
