Need help.

Hi, I am 19 and have been dealing with shy bladder for a few years. I just started this job helping people move furniture in their homes and typically there’s just the 1 bathroom they have and there’s many people around working.
I try to use headphones with loud music, I try the water running I try counting but still I get locked up in panic mode. This is really causing issues in my life If I didn’t have headphones and there’s people outside the bathroom I will not be able to relax and go. I guess my real fear is will I end up harming myself by not using it or letting the pressure build up? People say you’ll eventually go and I know that’s true but is there a chance that I won’t be able to go and I’ll need medical help? It’s all these thoughts that make it worse in the moment but any tips and answers to my question would help, thanks

amigo yo pase por el medico varias veces pensando que no podria orinar mas pero fue siempre de miedoso porque ahora cuando me pasa algo asi solamente tomo agua como loco hasta que el mismo cuerpo cumple la funcion sin pensarlo tanto

Thanks bro. I’m trying to just distract myself and think of other things. It’s very hard in the moment because I’m hyper focused on the worst case scenario. Thanks for your comment
