https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/nervous-bladder-with-anxiety/m-p/84776#M11359 <P>Hi</P> <P>I suffer from anxiety, mostly mild, but sometimes full on. One of the side affects of my anxiety can be what I call nervous bladder where I end up needing to go to the bathroom a lot when I am in stressful situations. I have recently started a new job where I will be in lots of meetings, on the road with colleagues a lot etc which are all situations this occurs in and can often lead to panic attacks. This job is a great opportunity to further my career and I wasn't going to let anxiety talk me out of it but I know I will have these issues. I was just wondering if anyone experiences this and has some advice on how to deal with it? </P> Sat, 05 Jul 2014 08:03:25 GMT MrShyB 2014-07-05T08:03:25Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/nervous-bladder-with-anxiety/m-p/84776#M11359 <P>Hi</P> <P>I suffer from anxiety, mostly mild, but sometimes full on.

Have been to a urologist and no physical problems. I am sure it is all in my mind ... I stress about it so much that I am anxious all the time. I worry myself into panic attacks and then need the bathroom immediately !! I have just started an online course for managing anxiety so looking forward to working with that.&nbsp;</P> <P>I am interested in the names of the herbs mentioned that might help. Has anyone else had any success with acapuncture ?</P> <P>Any feedback would be appreciated <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:">😊</span></P> Sun, 09 Aug 2015 01:34:57 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/nervous-bladder-with-anxiety/m-p/84779#M11362 worrier61 2015-08-09T01:34:57Z
