Answers: I keep going to the washroom every 5 minutes....is there something wrong with me???

The situation is a little unclear.

If you mean 'go to the washroom' to mean go to the toilet, then you have a bad case of diarrhea or if it is peeing, I think that can be diabetic or a kidney stone-- but don't listen to me; call a doctor. Is it painful? Call 911.

If you mean you keep going into the bathroom, I am guessing to wash your hands, but maybe for something else, you probably have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This is when you have to do something over and over even when you know in your rational mind that you don't need to. Like someone who has to check the door or window over and over even though he knows he locked it. Hand-washing is the paradigm case. It can get pretty serious and you definitely need help. It can appear at any age and is treatable through therapy and/or medication, and the quicker you get treatment, the better your chances to fight it.

One way to fight it is something called CBT: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. This is totally different than talk therapy and it is really, really good. I had it for BPD, another illness, and it helped me tremendously. It includes 'classes' and even homework and can be very intensive. I will always thank whatever stars guided me there.

I have a friend with OCD and he is a really nice guy. He takes medication and sees a therapist and he is much better. There's nothing wrong with having OCD or admitting it or going to a doctor. But you really must do so: make an appointment with a psychiatrist first thing Monday morning. Until then, know you are not alone.

If you would like to know more about it try Wikipedia or google it. I found these links for you:

A couple of chat rooms for OCD:

yes
either you have a obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
had washing I would assume
or you have gastrointestinal /bladder issues.

If you are going that often to actually use the restroom you need to see a Dr.

You might be OCD, therefore you would need to contact your doctor.

But don't worry many people are Obsessive Compulsive and once they get it under control they are perfectly fine!!

Good luck and relax, it will all be fine!!

Yes!

Either just a temporary or long term. In the "light" case, you might eat or drink some bad food/beverage and your body try to kick it out. That's normal. But for the worse case: in this battle, if your body's defense system fails, it's time to need a medical attention (over-the-counter medicine or you may need to see your doctor or go to the hospital ER - Emergency Room.)

Some common problems may involve with kidney, bladder, intestines, stomach,...

Good luck and take care of yourself.

yes
