Hello, I've been having some urination issues for around 2 months and had countless tests with doctors and specialists to try and come to a diagnosis, but they could find nothing as of yet. The urologist has told me that this seems to be primarily in my head as there is no physical indications that be causing the issue. He has told me that if it is not gone in three months that he will do some more tests with me.
So the issue is basically that I have this slight urge to urinate most of the time and when I go out it tends to get a lot worse to a point that I feel I will wet myself. I have managed to walk fairly far today however as soon as I stopped at a traffic light, the urge got extremely intense. Once I started to walk again, it got slightly better but it had definitely made me more anxious about it and the feeling didn't return to a mild feeling until I got back home. I'm struggling to get the idea out my head, I used to not have any worry about urination like a normal person but now I almost seem obsessed and can't shift it from my mind. The urologist told me to try my best to ignore it and try to live life normally, but its easier said then done to ignore it. As soon as you think, "don't think about it", I already am thinking about it. When I play music, in the back of my mind I know why I am playing music as it is serving as a means of distraction from the bigger issue.
Has anyone got any tips on how to manage anxiety, especially when alone and not really doing anything that takes full focus?
Anything would be greatly appreciated.
