First don't be embarrassed by what is happening. The most likely cause for this is a medical problem such as a bladder or urinary infection that has interrupted the signals you would normally get. There is also something called overactive bladder, also quite common. All are medical problems for which your doctor can help.
The first doctor to see is whichever doctor you are more comfortable with; either your family doctor or Gynecologist. Either doctor can do the initial evaluation and treatment or decide if you need to see a Urologist. Don't be concerned if you are referred to a Urologist as these are doctors who train for problems of the urinary tract and bladder. They are the better doctors to diagnose and treat some infections.
On Monday morning call one of the doctors and ask for and urgent appointment. Then follow the doctor's instructions. I'm confident this will turn out okay once you see a doctor.
If you are really concerned you can go to one of the walk-in clinics that are available. Look under Urgent care in the yellow pages or a web search. Most insurance companies will cover these care center visits over a hospital emergency room visit. You will also be seen faster at one of these clinics and many will give you an appointment if you call ahead.

either go to the doctor, or try to get a peeing pattern, like go toilet regularly even if you dont feeel you need to go, and sit there for a while and if nothing comes out, dont worry, just do that so then you wont have accidents

Na don't be embarrassed. ;-)
So, It is possible you may on any type of medication? Do you drink a lot before bed? Maybe a bladder infection?
These are possibilities, However on the drinking part, Try not to drink right before bedtime and make sure to use the bathroom. If not, You may want to see a doctor.

Honey, if you've never had a bladder infection before, this is what it feels like, a constant urge to pee even when your bladder is empty. You need to see your Dr or gynecologist to get medication for it. Normally when I have a bladder infection, I don't pee involuntarily so it could either be something else that is treatable medically or your infection is so full blown because it wasn't treated right away.
Your entire life, you will get bladder infections. It usually happens for me after bouts of diarrhea. even though I take care to wipe from front to back and sometimes use a wash cloth to wash the area.
For the future:The thing is to learn what the earlier stages of a bladder infection feel like and go out and purchase some cranberry juice and drink nothing but that for the next 3 days and you should see it clear up on its own. Dried cranberry in capsules can be purchased from a health food store and work as well but the juice is more readily available. If taking juice isn't helping in the future, perhaps you didn't catch it in the early stages and it is full blown like it is now.
Do not resort to cranberry juice right now. You have much too full blown of an infection right now to have much help from the juice.
