I have a strange, specific anxiety
Hey,
This is my first post. Well, I have no idea how this started exactly but on a few occasions (the first one going back to 6 years ago) I had battled with my own thoughts of self-destruction in a large social settings (conferences and some social or formal gatherings). It must of been the satete of my mind but I think having experienced it once re-triggered the situation when I was in similar settings. Basically my focus would be on my bladder and my fear was I would lose control of my bladder and embarress myself in front of literally hunderds of people. Unfortunately when in very largeg group settings my mind seems to be re-triggered. Has anyone else had this specific issue and what would you reccommend to deal with this? Obviously this makes my experience rather unpleasant when I should be enjoying the occasion. Thanks
@Torfrida I am sorry you are suffering from anxiety about your bladder. That must make social situations very stressful.
I am not sure if this would be helpful for your anxiety but it could help prevent embarassing situations.
Try not to drink a lot of fluids before going in social situations.
Go the bathroom before the social situations begin.
Consider wearing protective things like Depends or other adult helps with unplanned peeing.
