Hello this is going be be incredibly embarrassing for me to tell but I really need some help.
Iam 18 and a senior in hight school and I have always have had a really hard time holding it, it would always be horrible for me on any long car trip and would some times end up having small accidents. Later on as I got older that started happening less and less but I would still hate long drives for the same reason I was always at the brim of disaster. The thing is that recently ive been having an extremely hard time holding it in and ive been having a lot of small accidents per week and I don’t know why! luckily most of the accidents have been away from school and the ones that have happened at school haven’t been that noticeable. I have also started wetting my bed, its not every night but its happening way to often. I dont know what to do I haven’t told any one because iam mortified of what there reaction may be. Lately ive been thinking of going to the store and just buying so diaper's but what would people think of me and what if some one that I know sees me with the diaper's
please any suggestions or advice would be wonderful thanks

Nov 16 2011 10:20 PM Hi shawnagreen and welcome to the Depend® community  Thank you for taking the steps to share your story with us. It seems as if you are having some trouble opening up, we hope that you can find the comfort that you are looking for. Isn't there someone you can turn to such as a family member or a close friend? Some people say that when they finally opened up to someone and talked about incontinence they felt a tremendous improvement in their physical and mental well-being. Why not give it a try? You may be surprised to find that person will understand. It is very important that you do see a physician in order to rule out any serious medical conditions and/or to receive a diagnosis as to what is causing incontinence so that you may receive proper medical treatment. Seeking medical attention also prevents certain infections such as an infection of the urinary tract. The article, "The Doctor will See You Now", is a great read. I hope it helps. VikkiZ |

Nov 23 2011 01:41 PM I would suggest giving adult diapers a try and then you can relax just a little. I doubt anyone will find out your in diapers. If they should it is medical and they should be true friends or at least understanding. it is important to let mom know your choices and that you have sleceted diapers until you get better. Diapers are a tool to help manage your condition and improve your quality of life (and stress). |

Nov 24 2011 10:53 AM Hi shawnagreen, Did you know it could be possible that you may have inherited incontinence from your mom or another family member? I have found an article for you that may be of some help to you. It is titled, "Family Affair: Having a Mother-Daughter Talk About Incontinence". The article goes on to show that simply talking to your mom will give you the opportunity to learn about your family history. You may find that you actually are not alone in this and that your mother will end up understanding. Talking to your mother also provides the opportunity for you to receive proper medical treatment to ensure there are no underlying medical issues that may be causing the incontinence. Pick a time when it is just the two of you, maybe show her the article, or download and print out some of the articles to use to "break the ice". I hope this helps and please come back and let us know how you are progressing! VikkiZ |
