My anxiety is "before" I urinate. I seem to awaken slowly with an unpleasant dream or feeling of tension/anxiety. Then I realize that I "could"/"should" pee. There is not any huge urgency, but I do need to go. So, I get up to urinate. "After" I urinate, I return to bed and notice the anxiety is gone. It's like the need to urinate slowly builds while I sleep, and my anxiety increases proportionately. It's weird, and it is no longer a coincidence, I am anxious before I urinate, and calm after I urinate.

@rlpostrp Definitely the wrong answer from me. We get so much anxiety from people in here that the anxiety that you’re gonna pee the bed is definitely not the same as the anxiety about prostate cancer in general. I’ve had that happen a couple of times in the last 10 years, But it’s not something I worry about, My mattress pad is waterproof And it hasn’t happened in years.
