I for one was not so much AB but more a Diaper Lover.
I understand much of this as it is how I feel. I don’t have the ADHD etc problems to deal with, except dyslexia that made me feel like a complete failure growing up. I was a bedwetter, with my first dry night at 12 years old. I hated it (being wet) and was also desperate for some motherly affection. I only started to look to nappies when my sister was born, I was 9. My interest was alerted when nappies appeared around the house. I too have had a quite childish interest in things that I think have sparked my creativity. However I have never wanted to be an AB, for me DL toddler was more how I felt. The nocturnal incontinence never truly went away and I became fully U-IC after only a few more years, that was tough at the time. Now after a prostatectomy I know I shall always need nappies.Joeysms said:for me i have always had what we refer to as a strong child-like/kid like personality (explorer, fun loving, playful). it has stayed with me throughout my life. there could be many factors to the why coming from how i was born to environment. having a little/AB side i think is in everyone just stronger in some and some embrace it more freely and let it shine through whereas many adults are taught to suppress it. But in the right circumstances/situation such as going to an amusement park, zoo, movie, activity, festival will bring out the kid no matter what age a person is. people express the kid inside in various ways. So i would say AB was there way before my IC issues. IC is not tied to being AB it is just a fact of physical health issues within my body. My AB side is emotional and mental and i embrace it and let it shine because it brings me happiness and helps major with my mental health issues (PTSD, Bipolar, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and Autism) i don't judge either one my IC or AB and i don't give an F what others think of me especially when it comes it either my IC or AB side. I love having a child's heart and being an explorer helps me see a messed up world in better light. Maybe for some having to deal with IC allowed them to open up to what is already inside them their AB side and help soften the challenges that come with IC. to be honest my IC can be a drag at times on my AB side because my AB side is an explorer who doesn't want to have to stop to change his diaper. Life is far too short to over analyze the why, where, and who all the time. embrace who you are at any given moment and be happy as much as possible. like the person you see in mirror whether he or she is in a diaper for IC, ABDL, or for whatever reason. Hats off to the ABDL community because they helped bring about some very welcome changes to help people with IC in dealing with the challenges of IC with much better products on the market and easier access to those products.
I'm sorry to hear about your fibromyalgia and MS. Either one would be bad enough, but both together? It's unfortunate that there's a shortage of doctors in your area. Is your incontinence a result of your diseases only, or did frequent diaper wearing contribute as well, as it did for me? Is incontinence a common symptom of fibromyalgia or MS? Good luck in dealing with everything!BabyAby123 said:I started off as a dl,for many years, then started developing incontinence 3 years ago due to worsening fibromyalgia and MS
You are right..for some of us this is a process...and not always on a straight projectory at that...it's ups and downs...quiet days or heavy days, sometimes for no fathomable reason at all.hbic60 said:@greatlake5: I appreciate your posts and threads in this section in general very much, but in this one I disagree a little with you. It seems to me that concerning IC you only accept pure black and pure white. But the whole world, including IC, is NOT only black and white, but also grey - and unfortunately there exists not only one grey, but thousands shades of grey. So, I'm very sure, that there are people who are genuine and medically proved incontinent, but maybe also have a DL or AB side - and it is for sure possible, that an AB or DL develops during live real incontinence.
Where do you see the red line to be allowed to post in the incontinence forum? Do you want us to show a medical certificate at the entrance door to Incontinence Section before we are allowed to comment?
Don't get me wrong, my UIC is real and I could show you prescriptions from my doc proving it, I do not define myself DL or AB at all. But on the other hand, as written in other threads, I have learned to accept my condition, I've decided rather to like my diapers instead of hating them, I sometimes even like to be diapered instead of rushing desperately with an urge to the toilet, or I rather release in my diaper with outside activities instead of staying at home - I sometimes question myself if this doesn't make me some kind of DL?!? But, as I said, the world is grey, not only black and white...
I don't care if someone posts here is purely IC or has also (additionally) other tendencies (which I tolerate without hesitation, but don't want to be discussed here in IC section), as long as the comment is valuable, respectful, in general is according to the terms of IC forum
