IC is an annoyance , I know in the early days it seems more like a life sentence! It takes some adjusting and yes a little wetting things as you test your limits.
I'm not even 50 and been in diapers 24 years, not that I'm bragging , but i have experience. If you ever want to talk PM me , yes it seems very lonely but its not as bad as you think, it takes time to understand & accept that , I am also diabetic when that first happened I hid my needles and didn't talk about , now I don't care if someone sees me do my shot before I eat , if they are foolish enough to think I am doing drugs, I don't care , I am living my life , diapers are pretty much the same way ,in the early days I stressed about them and hid them and did everything I could to minimize there existence , including over dressing to conceal them ,no I don't invite people to watch me change, but i dont hide them and live in fear or over dress to hide them anymore, for us diapers are just a fact of life ,we eliminate bodily waste like everyone else on earth does just in a slightly different method of containment , we didn't invent it they have existed for thousands of years in one form or another doing the same job, so they urge to hide them or deny them is societal stupidity .
No shouting from the rooftops your IC isn't high on my list of things to do, but sharing it with those around you helps a lot on the loneliness .
People are squeamish about going to the bathroom as rule , so it's a hard conversation to have when your method changes especially when there are still people running around loose who were raised & potty trained with only babies wear diapers .
So you are not alone despite how you feel , and you have found a good safe place here , we are all diapers wearers and some users be it medical or recreational ,
I kinda have blurred the line (I am known for my belief that God made me IC ,but i reserve the right not to be miserable over it and enjoy it ) sounds weird right ?
But I play "diaper games" when i have nothing more important to do , or my diaper has to be reliable and not fail , I am trying to wear ever adult diaper for at least one full day of changes to decide if its garbage or good . We all have different dimensions and like different things about how a particular diaper or absorbency behaves , so i try them all and decide how they are based on what i like , diapers arent an option but the kind is , and with ABDL makers popping up there is an entire new world of "diaper games" available to the brave (or crazy?), of course i have worn every medical diaper known and some of them can generaly be described best as being what they were designed to contain.
So don't hold back the members of this community have literaly 100's of years of knowledge about wearing and using diapers , so you can really talk about all things diaper related and someone will identify with it and respond , when I was first IC there was no real internet , I lucked out and had friends who were what's now called ABDL, who were able to help me in accepting, coping, and those things that average people don't talk about like tape placement for a better fit, and how to park, how to conceal . Of course before the internet many people lived in silence , the IC were on there own, and people who liked diapers thought they were all alone in there liking diapers nobody else could possibly like these things ? Now we all swim together and share information and exchange knowledge.
So don't be lonely engage with people here until you know your actual medical situation and options as a prelude to talking to your people in the physical world .
