9. Start Therapy
Therapy is not for everyone, but if you continue to struggle with a lack of positivity related to OAB, therapy might be for you. If left unchecked, your high levels of stress paired with increased isolation can eventually lead to depression and anxiety.
Addressing these problems preventatively leads to much better results than waiting until they are fully developed to address.
A therapist, especially one trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, will be capable of assessing your symptoms while factoring in the influence of your OAB. They can expand on the coping skills you are currently using and provide new ones tailored to your exacting needs and abilities.
