Hmm, I wonder if it has something to do with muscle tension, maybe?:-? Your mentioning of relaxation clicked, maybe when we lay on our backs, our bladders/various sphincters relax and release?:-?
I, for one, can say for certain I am tensed up for pretty much the duration of my episodes of consciousness…
Hm yes, I’m a very anxious person myself so that makes sense.
My theory for why I have to pee so often (not only lying down) is also that it was a strategy for me to cope with a very controlling household growing up where my needs were frequently dismissed or ignored.
Oh, that makes a lotta sense! Sorry to hear about your familial context, though:(
Had a rough upbringing as well, anxiety and I are old friends by this point, but I developed the opposite - I pushed toward resilience, toward holding it in for as long as possible, precisely because I understood I couldn’t count on anyone around me.
Doing meditation or other relaxing exercise on my back is usually not so relaxing because of it :/
