Nice. I Had similar goals for a while, but I've also considered doing some vocal/choral studies. Now that I have been working with horses I am considering that though, since I don't think I have the talent. My passions are music and science, but I find they both drive me to insanity. Equations...

It's a struggle but gets a little easier. Talking to my therapist helps because I know she'll listen and provide support/empathy. Find a friend you can get support from. It's not easy but looking at it as just part of your routine is helpful. I try to tell myself, ok time for bed gotta brush my...

I've always wanted to play the cello, trumpet, and a woodwind as well. But I gotta restart my violin lessons. Damn depression. Are you a music major?

Abuse as a child caused the wetting but I have had bladder issues for a long time due to being dangerously underweight for 8 years. My parents don't know I have begun wetting the bed again... I'm TERRIFIED that they'll find out.

Thanks. I used to like live in an apartment with 5 other guys and I ordered north shore care air supremes. Being the only girl, I got a lot of extra privacy ;). I live with my parents again and I don't feel comfortable ordering diapers to my door, even if the box is discreet. Now I use...

Thanks. I'm sorry that your wife struggles. I've had my fair share of medical problems because of a serious case of anorexia from 12-20. I've been so emaciated before when I've been forced to use a wheelchair, tube dependent, etcetera. Likewise I've missed a lot of opportunities in life because...

Thanks. I try to view it as a crutch sometimes but it's hard on my bad days. I agree that I give diapers too much power, too which has been hard to fix.

My Bedwetting hasn't improved much at all these past few weeks. It's been about a year now since battling nightly wet beds or diapers. I hate it so much. I still don't feel used to it. It really brings down my self esteem and makes me feel depressed and angry... I'm going to be 21 in a month and...

Thanks for your support John! It's really reassuring to talk to others who get it.

Yeah I know I have a lot of forgiveness in my life in order to move forward, first and foremost myself. I think forgiving those who let us down when we care about them is one of the hardest things to do, too. This past night I tried using those reframed thoughts over and over. It helped a...

My parents try to be supportive of me but they always end up doing more harm than good. They also don't know about the abuse, which is something I have not decided whether or not to disclose. I talked to my therapist today and she was supportive of the diapers for my health's sake, but we...

I used to run and swim competitively. Swimming never bothers me to pee wheneve, haha. But running I wear a tampon which helps a lot and supplement with drinks containing sodium which helps not only electrolytes/ recovery but seems to keep my bladder tamer.

Thanks. I don't actually mind wearing them so much. It is actually kind of a comfort, knowing that my bed will be dry. They're not uncomfortable. Even though nobody knows it's hard to not feel ashamed thinking "well what if they knew..." I think I am more worried about others finding out...

Thanks for the responses. This is really the first time I've truly talked about how I feel about IC. It's hard to do but be 100% honest and open in counseling. I've tried to think about diapers are "no big deal" and are just something I have to use... "Nighttime underwear,just like glasses"...

Hi everyone! I am new to adisc and wanted some thoughts from more experienced members. I haven't shared my story with anyone but my therapist, so here goes: I experienced multiple sexual, physical, and psychological traumas from age five to about age thirteen. I developed mental health...
