Has anyone seen a sudden recurrence of daytime incontinence with a flare in PTSD symptoms? I had some daytime incontinence issues until I was 17, while I was living in my father's house. It stopped after I moved out (and moved on).
Now 13 years later my dad is living near me again and has been mending relationships with extended family. They want me to forgive him as well and long story short I've been forced to be around him more than I want.
Ongoing for about 3 months now I've had partial incontinence issues. It's probably a full release once a week, where I don't know what happened and don't always notice until it's over. Other times I've started to release and been able to stop long enough to get to the bathroom. I've always been able to play it off in front of my friends and family as drinking too much, and most people believe me because I've been drinking a lot because of my father. But it's getting to a point where I'm wondering if this is ever going away and worrying that at some point I'll ruin furniture or carpet or not be able to explain it away. I'm still not comfortable wearing protection in public.
I'm having other PTSD symptoms and seeing a psychologist about it, but I haven't told her about the incontinence and frankly I'm scared to. She's about my age and I don't know if she'll be disgusted by it. I don't want her to think it is related to also being a DL (which she doesn't know about either, but truly these are unrelated, my DL side is private and I've never wanted to wear or use around other people). I did have a full release at the very end of therapy 2 weeks ago, I think it was as I was walking out, but I didn't notice until I got to my car. If it happened before that then she either didn't notice or didn't want to say anything.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced short term partial incontinence? Would you bother seeing a medical doctor or is this almost definitely psychological? Has anyone told a therapist and if so what was their response?
