I'm a 20-something male and I really need your advice. I was on a roadtrip exactly a week ago during which I held my pee for so long that it legit felt like I was going to pee my pants no matter if I held it or not. I barely made it to the bathroom and hoped it was all good. The same evening when we were driving back I just felt sudden and pretty bad urges to pee. When I made a stop and visited the gas station I went to the bathroom but only a little came out, despite the feeling like I was about to explode. And ever since that trip it has been getting worse by the day. Now whenever I pee, I feel the urge to urinate again in like 5 minutes. Today at work I purposefully tried not to go to the bathroom more than once every 3 hours. It worked but it still feels as if I'm leaking or about to leak every so often. I've also noticed that the feeling is even worse if I'm sitting down, especially if I'm sitting in a car. I think the anxiety of knowing I can't go to the bathroom while I'm driving is making it way worse. Day 7 was the worst so far, I nearly peed my pants in the grocery store due to the anxiety of peeing my pants. How does that even work? Why does fearing something that could happen make the thing itself happen? Anyways sorry for the long ramble but has anybody ever have to deal with something like this? It's been like this for a week and it is already ruining my life.
