I'm a compulsive urinater. A nervous tick, if you will. I have had diagnostics done to confirm that I'm the poster child for a great bladder, no infections. This need to pee is apparently all in my head. However, I do "drip" and have to wear a pantyliner. How can I get rid of this nervous tick that is basically ruining my life. I'm scared to go anywhere to do anything out of my comfort zone because I may not have a bathroom to go to before there's an accident.

Hi there,

I am not sure that I have heard that someone has this condition before. However I heard that these things can happen to person. The fact is that this is caused by front temporal dementia. Have you heard of this condition before? I know that dementia affects your brain in many ways and it can cause many problems, but I didn’t know that it can affect your urination pattern. However you should consult your doctor about this and maybe he can give you some prescriptions for dementia treatment. In my opinion your problem will go away if you control dementia because this might be the main cause of your issue. I hope that this helped.

Sorry my Mom did this too me but she potty trained me along with my sister who was 10 month older than me. And I was premature. So basically she asked way about age ability urination which i believe led to going alot any time I am not okay cause idk i have to pee but if i wet myself Everyone whould know how bad am, she said she would put feces on my nose so everyone would know how bad I am. then my HS principlil locked the bathroom at 1pm harsessing us during time we had to go to next class! You can't win someone told you to pee before you knew you had to, then someone else locked the bathroom.

I had this exact problem when I was about 11. I would pee up to 18 times a day and somehow still felt like I had to pee. I would avoid leaving the house unless I had to, and when I did I had to make sure there was a bathroom that I could get to easily, and meanwhile felt self-conscious about the amount of times people saw me pee. I never had tests done because my doctor didn't believe me, but now that I'm older I can see that it was in fact "all n my head" or rather was a mental barrier. I wish I had some wisdom about how I got better but unfortunately I just moved on to other compulsions (such as ripping out my hair or picking pimples). But, I can say that you aren't alone and you aren't crazy. Even though I'm still not free from compulsions I do believe that it is possible for me and possible for you. Fight hard I know you can do it!
