What is wrong with me? For the past two weeks, I have been going to pee very frequently, Lets say possibly 20 times a day. Has anyone else ever been through this before, or a similiar situation?

It sounds like you've got a UTI (bladder infection) Go to the doctor before your symptoms turn into severe leg cramps, back ache, and possibly being hospitalized, and refrain from having sex, because you can pass this on to your partner. Until you see your doctor, drink lots of water, cranberry juice/cranapple juice, and the cranberry pills are good to take after you recover. You can get them over the counter, and they keep the bacteria levels down in your UT. Diabetes could be possible as well. Are you having pain when you urinate? If so then it's more than likely a UTI (bladder infection). You need to see your doctor.

Increased frequency of urination is a result of increased fluid intake or increased loss. If you have not been drinking much more than usual then excessive loss is the problem.
Diabetes causes increased urine production. You mentioned daytime but diabetes would usually get you out of bed as well. It results in increased thirst because of the fluid loss. Diabetes is a medical emergency potentially so if you don't know whether you have it or not, see a doctor urgently.
Another common cause of increased frequency is urinary tract infections. Sometimes, urination is accompanied by discomfort or general malaise. Simple lab tests can establish this and there are lots of antibiotics that can sort it out.
Occasionally some bladder problems can also cause your problems.
The best advice would be that you should see the doctor as without more detailed information you can not get a very precise answer.

Depending on your other symptoms, you may have a urinary tract infection. Does it burn when you go? Do you feel like you have to pee REAL BAD every five minutes, but there's almost nothing to pee out when you get on the pot? If so, you should definitely see a doctor and get on an antibiotic. An over-the-counter medication called Azo-Standard will help with the pain, but it DOES NOT replace an antibiotic and it won't cure the infection. Good luck!

have you upped your intake of liquids? Or upped the content of caffiene in them? If you need to pee more frequently than you used to you should see your doctor. Its one of the signs of diabetes as well as a few other things.

Yep. Sounds like a bladder infection. You need to hurry and get to a dr. to get put on some antibiotics. It wont go away on its own. Drinking lots of water and cranberry juice helps.

Well that could be a number of things, such as...OVERACTIVE BLADDER or URINARY TRACT INFECTION, but also it could be something on or near ur bladder maybe pushing against it such as a cyst...However that is something u should have checked just in-case.

yes... this could be a urinary tract infection (which could increase in severity to having blood in your urine and having it hurt when you pee)
This could also be a sign of the onset of diabetes. PLEASE see a doctor.. either one requires medical attention.
