All this peeing is ruining my life

It really is annoying! Honestly I just sigh and put up with it. There could be so many things as the reason behind why we have to go so often.

Maybe you should see a doctor about this.

or a plumber

If its running your life, just don't drink so much, then you wont pee so much???

I drink over 4 litres of water a day, And I pee, pee, pee.

I make sure I pee before I leave to go to work, Before I walk up the shops etc ... Otherwise yes I will pee my pants... But hey water is good for you, and I believe it flushes everything out.....

Just means buying lots of loo rolls : )

Man! I can't even go for an hour walk without having to pee in the middle of it. Going to the movie is stressful because I often have to pee so badly by the time it's over, and that's with going before it starts too.... Going hiking means hiding behind a tree and hoping nobody will see...

How do you deal with it? I don't even drink THAT much. 2 mugs of tea, maybe 1.5 liter of water a day or something...

As other posters have pointed out, coffee and tea are diuretics so they will make you urinate more? How much more is not mentioned which is unfortunate because when you consume a drug, such as caffeine, it helps to have some understanding of the side effects.

For a regular user of caffeine, the diuretic effect is measurable but negligible.

Yes, shock and horrors.

There could be an underlying medical problem but, perhaps your body is working just fine (we've been evolving for about 4 million years so I suspect that our species is figuring out the "survival" thing pretty well by now) and the reason that you're urinating so much is that you have more water in your body than it needs so it's excreting it.

Folks here are dedicated water drinkers - someone has to pay for all of those ads on TV - but the other side of consuming more than you body wants or needs is that you spend more time urinating. And, yes, I'm well aware of the limited value of consuming water while diet but I'm also well aware that there's no particular medical reason to ingest large amounts of water. Google "heinz valtin water" and take a few minutes to read up on his research. He's a medical doctor who teaches at Darmouth (Prof Emeritus I think) who wrote a book on the functioning of the kidneys and the opening line of his most popular research document reads:

"Despite the seemingly ubiquitous admonition to “drink at least eight 8-oz glasses of water a day” (with an accompanying reminder that beverages containing caffeine and alcohol do not count), rigorous proof for this counsel appears to be lacking."

That can be found here:

Again, there are a few reasons why drinking a lot of water can help when you're dieting but those have nothing to do with what our body needs.

Losing weight is not a function of our body. It's about changing our attitude about food.

The longer we stay in the habit of putting things in our mouth, the longer we will stay in the habit of putting things in our mouth.

If you haven't upped your fluid intake lately and you're peeing this much, you might want to see a doctor. There are several illnesses related to this symptom that should be dealt with immediately.

If you're just drinking a ton, then disregard.

It's been going on for a while but it comes and goes... Typically though it's the worst when I have water weight to lose (like now. I have to go every 10 minutes at times).

Every 10 minutes? I agree you should mention this to your doctor. I drink 1 cup coffee, 4-6 cups tea, and 8+ cups water most days and don't pee that often!

It's actually quite literally possible that you're making yourself pee. If you're constantly worrying about it, you'll be constantly thinking about it and your body will do what bodies do when you keep thinking about peeing.

If you aren't having problems at night, it might simply be that you're spending too much thinking about peeing. It might sound odd but I heard about it from a Psychologist and it turned out they were right. I'm not sure what the solution was unfortunately, I just know that they managed to help the person in question.

Of course, it might not be this at all. But it's something to consider.

I understand!!! I drink at least a gallon of water a day, sometimes more and I go constantly. I get up at least one time in the middle of the night too.

if this has been going on for awhile you need to see your doctor. it could be more than just overactive bladder. excessive peeing is a symptom of diabetes, not saying that's what's wrong because it could be any number of things but you should have it checked out.

I have the same problem. I was told it comes with age, but I figured I would be much older than 38 before this started to happen!
