    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.
