For a few reasons I need to drink a lot of water in my daily life. I mean a
lot, like I'm normally bursting to pee every 2-3 hours. But sometimes I'll get so engrossed in work or entertainment I don't break out of the zone and honestly forget. The interesting thing is I don't really realize I'm thirsty, but as soon as I take that first sip of nice, cold water I realize how dry I feel. Then I'll drink up to a quart.
The human body needs water.
I need water. So my basic choice is pretty simple:
- Drink the amount of water my body demands. Consult a doctor if I think it's abnormally high.
- Suffer adverse health effects of dehydration, some of which may be severe.
Now clearly the human body doesn't
need diapers and pacifiers and onesies in the same way it needs water... but your body isn't the only part of you that has needs. Emotional needs are no less important to your long-term health than physical ones. And as you deny yourself fulfillment for your emotional needs, the thirst will quietly build up until you take a sip of water and realize just how much you
need the thing you've been denying yourself. That's when the binge part of the cycle starts.
A fair number of your recent posts have reflected you have emotional struggles with diapers. A lot of us have that. IMO the problem isn't that you have emotional needs. The problem is you keep asking for advice about how to be happier but don't make any substantial change to your life or habits between one post and the next. So the true issue to me isn't controlling your desires but committing to actual, real change. If you want to give up diapers there are ways to do that. If you want to indulge happily in diapers there are ways to do that too (I'd consider that the healthier option by a wide margin). But short of actually starting to enact real changes in your habits and possibly (probably?) consulting a mental health professional, I would suggest you don't expect to break the pattern of creating basically the same post with minor variations asking for help every two weeks or so.
Edit: I'd like to note that within 24 hours of making this thread about how to moderate your desires, you made
another thread about buying leggings as an accessory to enhance the experience. If you want to feel better, you really, really should consult a professional because it's clear you aren't breaking the binge/purge cycle on your own.
