Urinating on bedroom carpet and clothes really need some advice please

I did this at 14 too and it lasted about a year. I've never told anyone about it and this is the first time I've heard of anyone else doing it... it's nice to know I'm not alone. I'm 18 now and I haven't done it since (barring once when I was 15 and too anxious to use the toilet while someone was repairing the stairlift.) I had 3 main reasons for doing it: I used to stay up late talking to an internet friend, and I was afraid I'd get into trouble if my mom or grandma heard I was still awake, I was totally engrossed in what I was doing and didn't want to stop to go to the toilet, We had (and still have) a large mirror in our hallway. I always associate mirrors with "bad" things like lightning and ghosts/death etc, because as a child I lived in South Africa where we had terrible storms and had to cover our mirrors, and because of the religious environment I grew up in. Although neither reason is relevant anymore, the mirror still bothers me and I have to cover my eyes at night when I go to the toilet. So I think the main possibilities are what others have suggested: that she's having anxiety issues, she doesn't want to stop what she's doing, or something outside her bedroom is causing her problems. I agree that setting an alarm every 2 hours or so would be a good idea. Other than that, I'd just keep explaining the consequences of what she's doing. It must be frustrating for you... my family never found out what happened, and I stopped myself in the end. In my case I stopped talking so regularly to the girl I was internet friends with and that solved the problem. Good luck :)
