Dealing with an Overactive Bladder for Years

So I have had an overactive bladder since I was 12 yrs old and now im 39 years old I remember when my parents wouldn’t believe me and once when I was 16 yrs old my dad took me to the doctors and they told him I have an overactive bladder and I was on medication for almost 2 yrs then I moved out out of my parents house and didn’t go back to the doctor until I was 30 yrs old when it became more and more noticeable to other people my question to u what would the other people say to u like would they ask u y u go to the bathroom that much and what was ur answer??
