I want to report my history of incontinence and how urge incontinence has developed. Maybe for some people who are in one of the earlier stages can preview what to expect.
Stage 1 (lasting about 3 month)
My toilette frequency increased starting at afternoon. After Lunch I had to go every 20 minutes and later every 15. Sometimes at evenings it was getting better.
This is where I decided to wear diapers. I struggled with it but usually after the 2nd or 3rd visit to the bathroom I knew it was clear that it has to be.
Stage 2 (lasting about 3 month)
About 3 Month after Stage 1 started, I had more and more urges beginning before lunch or even early mornings. So I intensified my diaper usage, still struggling and almost ever day I tried to do it without. But after 3rd time to the bathroom within one hour I realised its not possible.
When I wear a diaper I still tried to hold it as much as possible, and I had the control so I hat to actively push to release.
At the beginning, oft this stage I would sometimes go out without a diaper on, however I would take one in my bag and most of the time I had to put it on at the office or at another public toilet. At the end of this stage, I never left the house without diaper on.
I have to admit that I was a DL before and even on stage 1 I found this a little bit fascinating (specially as I was believing that it will stop and go away soon), but at this stage I started to hate diapers.
Stage 3 (lasting 3 Month)
At some point, also about 3 month after the beginning of stage 2, I realised that the flow was more and more automatically and I hardly ever had to active push to release. More and more I even did not realise that I wet and it started more dribbling than a being a stream.
Now at this point my nights got harder. At stage 2 I think the habit of pushing ever 5 minutes was developed and when I woke up in the morning or in the middle of the night, I just pressed a little, sometimes unconsciously and continued to sleep. But now as I did not do the pushing and pressing during daytimes I think my body was not used to and I did not dribble when I was asleep. So I woke up a lot of times with pressure in the bladder. I think it was not used anymore to be full and even if tried to press it was hard to empty the bladder. Sometimes I even had to stand up due it was so painful and only than I could release.
Stage 4 (lasting 6 month)
I started to counteract the night-time problem by trying to go back to pressing and holding. It was hard at the beginning. Sometimes on weekends at home I even decided to let the diaper away force myself to hold it and maybe train the bladder a bit.
I could achieve a little bit off success and the problems at night where getting better. However the comfort level was much lower than on stage 3. It was a one step back and forth sometimes I lost some control and the dribbling got more, sometimes I gaind some control and could hold it for 20 minutes or sometimes even longer if I did not drink to much.
I think it was at the end of this stage when I realised that this condition is not temporary and will not go away.
Stage 5 (current)
Sometimes, maybe 6 month after the beginning of stage 4 things changed complete again. Very suddenly, my control was almost lost and even if I tried very hard I could hardly ever hold it. I just dribbled and sometimes even lost a bigger amount of urine without control.
Now I also lose urine when I am asleep. This brings at least the benefit, that when I wake up my bladder is empty and I don’t feel the pressure and pain.
I hope these report can help someone. I would be happy for comments and for confirmation if your history of urge incontinence developed on the same path and maybe if you are already deeper on the path maybe you could tell me what to expect next or if this is the end of the road.
