I have had health anxiety for ages and it comes and goes. Some usual favourites are heart problems, various cancers, diabetes, basically anything.
Now, out of nowhere I am panicking about my urination patterns. It started the other day when I went for a pee about 12 times in one day and kept needing to urinate. I then started panicking that it was diabetes or worse, maybe prostate or bladder cancer (I am 25). Now, I am hyper-focused on my bladder and it seems any time I need to pee or any odd feeling there makes me even more worried.
I have realised that coffee makes you urinate a lot. I am prone to drinking one large coffee upon awakening, which is always very strong. I also drink probably more water than the average person. Today I didn't have a coffee and I have only peed about 4 times, and have drank nearly 2 litres of fluid in total which is normal.
I kind of seem to know that it relates to caffeine but I have a serious cognitive dissonance problem where I know I am probably fine, but think the worse anyway. I can't concentrate on my work and it is really grinding me down.
Has anyone else had the above problems or can offer any advice?
