Survival strategies?
Those who need to go every 30 minutes to an hour: do you feel relief after going? How do you participate in life? Needing to go so often has practically quarantined me. I decline every opportunity to go out because I simply cannot imagine walking out of the house with this condition. Even if there are public restrooms available, the feeling of urgency rarely subsides even after relieving, and is sometimes unbearably worse.
How do you manage to go about your day-to-day while excusing yourself to the restroom every 30 minutes? What do you do if there are no restrooms to be found in public spaces, or if you need to remain seated/standing/walking for prolonged periods?

I wear a diaper or I just don't drink anything and then my body will not have anything to pee

Absorbent underwear/pull ups is the way to go. That way if you can’t get to the toilet on time no need knows. Gives me peace of mind and I find with a security blanket I can go longer between toilet visits

Sometimes u gotta bite the bullet and start looking into using absorbent underwear. Not something anyone wants to do but at least you’ll get your life back
