A long post. I appreciate you all.
Disclaimer: I don't wet the bed, but I do have moments of peeing myself a bit here and there.
Overactive bladder. Since age 14. (Which is when I hit puberty and started finding myself drawn to diapers).
Probably self diagnosed at a young age but confirmed with off and on visits to different Drs. I haven't gone to a urologist in a decade, but I used to have a lot of UTIs due to one of my partner's skin conditions. No longer with him and no UTIs and I never had them prior.
I've always had to go to the bathroom after waking up, before leaving the house, before eating, before bed, on any break I could (during school and work), and before bed, and in the middle of the night.
I had been on one medication to help with something else I have in my diagnosis list, but due to it not working anymore I stopped using it.
My diagnosis list is long.
I don't know how to stop the overactive bladder since it was never a priority with my other major medical issues. Lately it's bothering me more so even though it bothers me with a heaviness daily with how often I go to the bathroom.
I've nearly peed myself way too many times and I spend a lot of time in the bathroom due to IBS and the urinary frequency. I get minor anal leakage as well. My behind can never seem clean.
I will bring up my issues to my new primary care physician soon as I see them, but I'm not sure yet if the issue can be addressed.
With my long rambling, the issue for me is I have peed myself before and I never talk about it. More often than not, I'll go to the bathroom and be done and all cleaned up and I'll pee a bit in my underwear or later on not long after.
My body paralyses or goes weak due to medical issues when I'm at home (out and about I'm capable of being independent) so I need assistance lately more so to get up. Last night my bf had assist me when I needed to get me up twice to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Every time I get up I feel like I going to pee myself. I'd rather use a toilet, but just in case I do paralyze, I wore protection two nights in a row. I had to ask his brother to help me get up when my body paralyzed the day before (we live with his brother and his brother had to take care of his wife when she was paralyzed before her passing).
I didn't sleep well in protection because I was so busy being afraid of judgement and also comfort/hot. He accepts me and understands. It's just me.
Overall I am just at a place in my mind where I know I've have an overactive bladder since age 14 and it gets dismissed due to other major medical issues I have. I don't know if using protection is the best idea because I'm worried about dependence and becoming more needing it and judgement and affordability. It's not anxiety for me that's causing my overactive bladder. I've come a long way and it's always there.
Any advices I appreciate and thanks for reading this long post.
