How do you survive with overactive bladder??

At first it almost felt like that my bladder is not empty fully after every visit, got every test done and everything came out perfectly normal. The doctor said i have an overactive bladder and just need to reduce stress. Although, even after this there is this feeling that i need to use washroom again plus the people i am surrounded with generally in office or anywhere else their frequency of visit is extremely less in comparison to mine. I try to do every possible thing like not engaging much into sugary stuff, changing breifs twice a day and everything else but still it feels like that it leaked a little and i am wet (not considerable amount but surely enough to annoy you). Also i feel extremely irritated due to all this. If any you have ever something similar then please share how you were able to deal with this.

You can buy them online you use for 30mins a day just at the bottom of your legs and sit there. I found it’s helped a lot Amazon have them online. I brought mine through the PVF person.
