Hey guys, after a long time.
So as most of you might be knowing I've been dealing with both bladder and bowel accidents for a long time. And every now and then there comes a time where the accidents really get me down. Because of the frequency and the eventual clean up it's just always ready to pull me down to that state. Over the years the frequency of my bowel accidents have increased and even my urinary incontinence has. Last year was really tough on me and being stressed by college work didn't really help. It can be really difficult especially when I'm out with people. For the most part I'm dealing with it pretty well but there are plenty of days where I feel like I can't take anymore. Does anyone feel this way? I know for a lot of people who are new to their incontinence it can be a little harder to accept but I won't lie, even after all these years I still have some hope of finding this, I still look at the future where I'm not changing a brief every now and then. It's pretty embarrassing I'm sure most of you know, but I just wanted to let out some steam. Going back to study at a university is a little scary. And I never feel like explaining my situation to anyone, inactive I've never personally told a lot of people because it's still kind of an embarrassing topic. I mean I've been living in the "normal world" for all my life so even though I've lived through incontinence I grew up learning that it isn't normal....... Which wasn't really helpful. Anyway I just wanted to get that out, I know from personal experience that incontinence, especially when bowel and bladder incontinent can really stir up a lot of stress and depression....
