Pee feeling?

Tempus35 said:

I also know this feeling, I hate it, I never want to get up in class and leave due to m SA, So I suffer till I cant any more. I also really reall hate this for tests, I havent been able to make it more then slightly 1 hour on tests, that is sitting there, and they don't let you leave and come back.

Oh yeah, I didn't think to mention that but exams drove me nuts! They were stressful enough just by the nature of being exams. But sitting there an hour into a 3 hour exam starting to feel like I had to pee was awful. I never once asked to leave to use the washroom during an exam. I knew it would waste precious time and I also think I just didn't want to deal with asking to go and potentially having to be escorted to the washroom. Of course if I had I might have been better able to focus afterward.

There is no asking for the washroom here where I am, there is these stupid rules to deter cheating and I cant leave, unless I am done or forfeit the test.

Yeah, that sucks. I just held it anyway. Also, I never really finished early. I worked slow and I always hoped I'd figure out a little more if I stayed, even if I thought I had done as much as I could.::

I have to rush through mine, I have never been able to not run to the bathroom after an hour, that is I can only make it an hour before I cant think of anything else but going to the bathroom, so it the test is more then an hour long, I am ****ed. I tried explaining this to the disabilities office here, they are suppose to help. Their solution was to tell me I can get up and walk around the room for a bit, like that will help, that will make it worse, they dont seem to want to let me go to the bathroom, no matter what, I need to argue with them more, because I need to be able to take me time.

You guys won't believe what I experienced as a kid with the "pee" feeling. I think it was anxiety on my part. It started out when for the first time in my life i was separated from my dad for several weeks. his mother died and he flew back to his country for the funeral. i was sad but i tried not to miss him too much. at night i had trouble sleeping just knowing he wasn't going to be there sleeping in the same bed as my mom. it bothered me so much and i didn't know why. at first i tossed and turned at night but would eventually be able to sleep after about a half hour. But then a half hour turned into an hour. And an hour into a hour and a half. i remember I'd get up to go pee when I couldn't fall asleep because I thought it was the natural thing to do. it usually helped reassure me and then i'd be able to fall asleep. but this time it didn't work anymore. so many nights i got up several times to "pee" with the "pee" feeling in me. and every time i got to the bathroom i'd be surprised to find i did not have to pee after all and went back to my bed. now after my dad came home i kept having the "pee" feeling and i got up several times night after night. i dunno what it was. it was like i was anxious having the "pee" feeling and every time I'd go to the bathroom i felt relief when i realized i did not need to pee but every time i got back to my room the feelings of anxiety and the "pee" feeling would just come back. i was so restless one night because i must have gone back and forth from my bed to the bathroom at least 10 times. i was so exhausted but i couldn't understand why my mind was so restless. i've never explained this part of my childhood to anyone not even my current therapist. i don't know what happened to me in those weeks but it eventually went away..

every second of every day, it's just nerves

the "pee feeling" is preferable to the other feeling.

yessss...

I have a tiny bladder, so I constantly feel like I have to pee.
I hardly ever actually do, though.
haha
I think it gets worse when I'm in a stressful situation, too.

Needing to pee maybe a response to adrenaline. It's all in the science. Body must empty bladder/bowels in preparation for fight/flight response.

i have IC so yeah..i always feel like i have to pee. especially if i've eaten something spicy that irritates my bladder or if I haven't had enough water that day. for some odd reason not getting enough water irritates my bladder in a way that makes me feel like i have to go pee.

If I really have to pee, the feeling intensifies. If it is just in my head, the feeling goes away.

I have the same problem, since I was a child I often had this feeling before presentations or competitions. And I think in many cases it's really nerves not the need to pee.

This can mean that you have a UTI, an intestinal candida bacteria overgrowth. Coincidentially candida overgrowth usually causes pretty bad anxiety! It feeds mainly on sugars, high blood sugars (which can also cause anxiety) so maybe you could be onto something. Maybe try a candida cleanse/diet or try adding probiotics

"Candida is the name of a group (or scientific genus) of fungal infections. Candida albicans and other members of this genus often occur in the intestinal flora. Allopathic medicine considers a certain amount of candida normal, but in excess these fungi are responsible for thrush, vaginal yeast infections, and a variety of less severe symptoms including digestive disruption, depression, anxiety, headaches, tiredness, rashes and skin disorders...etc"

^ This.

I've been on a candida cleanse off and on for the last year. My naturopath gave me probiotics, an anti-candida diet to follow (which was a pain in the a** >.< I still can't follow the whole thing), and even recommended what he called an 'Ivy's Cleanse', which was a lovely, tasty mixture of interesting liquids. (No it wasn't tasty at all. It sucks, but it works like a charm)

Then again, I think some people, like me, are more prone to getting a candida overgrowth. I don't know why it is, but it sucks.

Yes it's super annoying but what can ya do lol....

I get this a lot.
