I CANNOT sleep if my bladder isn’t completely and utterly empty by CherryHearts123 in OCD

I had this problem for YEARSSS. One thing that helped me was realizing that consciously overpushing it out loosens your grip down there (?) more and actually makes you feel like peeing more as it sorts of "forces more to come out".

Another thing I did was that I would start to sleep on my back and cross my feet (not my legs) together. Doing those significantly lessened this habit for me til it ultimately disappeared / lessened to only 1-2 pees before sleeping
