Dealing with an Overactive Bladder for Years

So I have had an overactive bladder since I was 12 yrs old and now im 39 years old I remember when my parents wouldn’t believe me and once when I was 16 yrs old my dad took me to the doctors and they told him I have an overactive bladder and I was on medication for almost 2 yrs then I moved out out of my parents house and didn’t go back to the doctor until I was 30 yrs old when it became more and more noticeable to other people my question to u what would the other people say to u like would they ask u y u go to the bathroom that much and what was ur answer??

i was diagnosed when i was 3-4 and my mom wouldn’t believe me and she would make me clean the bed n stuff and ground me because she thought i was doing it for attention. i tell usually people i have pee problems lmao and they usually just drop it to be honest.

I'm usually just honest and say I have overactive bladder because that makes them stop asking. Or I just say I have a medical condition.

I usually say I have bladder issues. It sucks, and I've had accidents at work and even have had to leave to change clothes. 😓

I've always had bladder issues. Used to wet the bed several times a night when I was younger and have accidents during the day. Thank God, I only wet once a night and have occasional accidents now. I was diagnosed at age 25.
