I really need help with this...?

Question:

Is there anything I can do to get my bladder muscles to relax enough to pee? I have paruresis and always lock up if other people are around, and drinking a lot, listening to music, and running water don't fix it. This is a huge problem because in the somewhat near future I will be applying for a job that will likely require a drug test, plus it causes me all kinds of unnecessary discomfort in day-to-day situations. I'm so frustrated and tired of asking this, but nobody ever wants to answer it seriously. I'd rather not get any more stupid answers to this.

Answers:
I'm not sure if these would help or not, but maybe they will.

Muscles that are deficient in magnesium can go into spasm. You might try taking 500 mg of magnesium for several days to see if that improves things for you. A bottle of magnesium might cost $3-5.

If that doesn't do the trick, you could try taking a good multi-enzyme such as Vitalzyme. Here's why it might help. A woman with gastroparesis (paralysis of the stomach) tried this and resolved this condition she'd had for six years.

Another technique that could be extremely helpful would be to mock up in your mind and emotions how happy you'd feel after urinating when others are nearby.

Do that instead of focusing on not being able to do it. It might take some practice or you might be able to mock it up the first time you try.

Focus on the emotional and physical feelings when you're successful doing this.

Good luck and be well.

when you get your yearly physical this is something you should speak with your dr about.

I am a Holistic Health Practitioner and would like to make a few recommendations,first review your diet try and stay as nataural with your food avoid caffeine, alcohol, smoking, spicy foods, chocolate, and artificial sweeteners. Your diet should consist of lush green vegtables, nuts and seeds, avoid red meat and stick to organic when possible, eat fruits in the morning 1/2 hr before breakfast and you can have at nite for desert. Drink plenty of water 10-12 8oz glasses a day make sure you drink spring water.

Excercise perform kegels to strengthen the pelvic muscle do 50 each day hold for 10 seconds or longer, if you dont know what kegels are look it up on the web.

The following herbs will help promote urine flow and unblock the tube and channels: Combine all three to make a tea follow instructions below consume two times day.

Take a multi vitamin

Since this situation is to do with anxiety as you mentioned, My intuition tells me that you are most likely hiding your true self from you friends & family in fear of disapproval or you are repressing your sexuality.
Dis-ease sets in from negativity.
Try learning meditation & working on releasing the tension in your bladder, as you do this take notice of any thoughts or feeling that come to the surface as they will generally be related to the problem..
find some one who does energy healing as this will often help if you are having trouble allowing the healing yourself...
