I did, turns out I urinated once more than usual, that threw me off and I was being hyper-aware of everything. I still get thirsty, though I've always been like that, and I'm not urinating all the time, so I think I'm okay... I hope :)

Hey same with me 17 past 2 days been thirsty a lot and drinking way more water than usual and going restroom like every 30 minutes. I noticed you posted 2 months ago so what happened did you go to the doctors?

PLEASE RESPOND

I'm 15, and I've always been thirsty throughout my life, but I have none of the other symptoms. In the past 2 days, I've urinated more than usual.

I am a hypochondriac/ OCD, so I'm not sure if I'm just checking if I have to go more often and I feel something, or that I've developed diabetes. I wouldn't think it would just suddenly start though. Any help?
