Bedwetting in late teens…

0

i’m a 19 year old in my first year at college…

I’ve been suffering from secondary nocturnal neuresis lately… aka Bedwetting. My doctor told me that diapers were honestly the only way to deal with this problem, as it is mostly psychological due to stress and anxiety. I’m really anxious about trying diapers and incredibly embarrassed…. does anyone have advice?

Thanks a lot…

Not sure if this would be of any use to you but here ya go: http://www.embarrassingproblems.com/problem/bed-wetting-adults/bed-wetting-adults-actions
I'm 19 and I dealt with bedwetting until I was about 9 or 10 and it sucked then so I imagine it would suck a hell of a lot worse now. Sorry I'm no expert, but I'm sure there are a million alternatives to diapers if you're creative enough. Just dig around some. And then even if you have to use them, there are ways to make them bearable. And this may be an odd suggestion for you, but what about feminine products? This, I am an expert in and I can tell you I've never found anything on earth to be more discreet and absorbent. And if I may, I would suggest Always: Infinity. They're incredible and I think you would find them a lot more comfortable as well. Hope some of this helps! Cheers.

I had that problem too until it randomly went away when I was 14. You don't necessarily have to wear diapers. I'm pretty sure there are meds for this. Alternatively, you can buy linen protectors. I'm not sure what exactly they're called, but it's these big pads that you put on your bed (like a giant sticker) that absorbs any moisture. Good luck!

There's no shame in wearing a diaper, it's just something that will help with your situation, unless you want to keep cleaning your bed. It's up to you. No one can make the decision for you, but if a professional is advising a diaper then I would take his advice. I think it would be wise to also see a therapist. It's important to tackle the root of what causes this, which seems to be stress and anxiety. It would benefit you if they can offer you a way to reduce your stress and anxiety levels. I definitely think your doctor can do more than just telling you to use diapers. The root cause needs to be handled.

First off, sorry you didn't get any help last time you asked. "go to the doctor", at least to me means "this website has zero worth, at all...". Well unlike me, you probably have something that even some what resembles a "schedule" of waking/sleeping.

I would try to plan and not drink anything at least 1 hour before bedtime...and work your way back until it's uncomfortable...like at 4-5 hours you might have dreams about being stuck in a dessert or an escape raft out at sea.

The other thing is ...well, try to piss before bed. I mean even if you don't feel like you have to, go through the motions and see if your body goes. I have pissed myself (as an adult) about 3-5 times, up until 25 I think. But I was either (why I stopped ever) taking sleeping pills or (why I stopped) getting stupid drunk.

I mean, it's shameful I guess because babies and toddlers are known most for it. So we associate the two and therefor, if you still do it then you must be underdeveloped. That can range from a host of negative thoughts about fear of being judged, not being an adult, dying alone, etc.

Oh right, so one thing you need to get is a "bed condom" as I call them. They are a sheet that is like rubber or plastic on time, the sides are usually cloth. So you put on scrunchy bed condom, then scrunchy sheet, then loose sheet. tadaa!

It saves from any spill; kool-aid, beer, a GF's heavy flow one month that forever makes it look like you had struck her with a hatchet. Having to explain yourself whenever removing sheets to do laundry in front of anyone... and then she wonders why you demand she take the mattress in the "break up draft" of mutually owned items.

So I honestly never gave a shit. I laugh thinking back, when my girlfriend at the time, woke me up one night with a whispering, "Hey...is that water in the bed, did you spill water baby? WAAAAIT... what's that sme....awwww noooooo! God dammit get up! What do I want you to do?! I want you to get a fucking towel!"

And I would be pissed too because who wants to wake up freezing cold, soaked in your piss? For you noobs out there, urine is warm only when leaving the body. Which probably only puts you into an even deeper sleep...relieved and now warmer than before.

BUT NOW it's like 5 hrs later and you just woke up marinated...past tense. After having a dream about falling into an Alaskan river, you wake up to launch in a groggy race to grab yesterday's dirty towel to and toss it on the bed. You might even be naive enough to think that your mattress it's totally fucked at this point.

And honestly, I think every time my reaction was the same. I woke up, immediately sigh in relief that I have one of those "bed condoms", throw all dirty towels I have on the bed, get back into bed.

....Then laugh at my girlfriend when she's swearing at how only toddlers piss the bed and she didn't know she dated toddlers. I reply that I didn't know she was a pedo either. Then she starts punching me in the back and I start laughing at her, I switch from light laughter into uncontrollably laughing, more hysterically the more angrily she punches...having fully forgotten she's half covered in piss.

After calming down....I would then proposition her for sex and get yelled at mid sentence. But after some masterful negotiating (we're still half damp with my piss, mind you), I then manage a verbal "raincheck" for the morning post-shower and go back to sleep. After showering, then sex, I hold up my end and cook her breakfast...after trying my breakfast, she never takes the same deal again.

I hope that story made you laugh, I was aiming to take something you dread and associate it with something you can laugh at. I can't imagine what your going through, I can only try and cheer you up.

But if you ever get "caught" then say you can't remember the last time you got that drunk...or make a tasteless joke about how you got roofied and your butt hurts...when assumed your attacker was a man, correct them that it was a very beautiful woman...unfortunately you found out what her "wanting a threesome" meant FAR too late in the game. By then your vision was already blurred, you'd forgotten the safe-word... and she was pulling out a strapon harnessing a big black dildo.

You see, humor is your friend...the more offensive, the more they will be psychologically "flashbangged" and not even know what the hell the conversation was about up until the point where you said that "really fucked up" joke. So remember, don't drink up near bedtime, try to piss before bed and invest in a bed condom...way cheaper than fuckin' diapers. Oh, one more thing.

Fucking diapers, really doctor? Diapers will at best develop into some weird fucking sexual fetish and at most... likely make you feel SO terrible and lack any self respect/love/esteem that you would end up hanging yourself...with a diaper. PLUS, I'd rather get caught pissing the bed daily than be caught once wearing a diaper.

Dude I am telling you..."bed condom". Have 2-3 towels next to your bed, then when you wake up after wetting just lay the towel down and pat down gently. The first towel should soak most up, so do 1-2 towels and toss them in a tub.

If your in a dorm room then toss them in a plastic bin, like a laundry basket that won't leak. Then lay down the last towel or two and go back to sleep, maybe have a backup blanket. Use thinner blankets if you can, so you don't have to wash GIANT, THICK down feather comforters or something.

This operation lets you wake up, clean up, go to sleep and not loose sleep. The next morning either before class, or hell...if you typically like to get up, get ready and head out...then do that. Whenever, first thing in the morning, later in the afternoon or even at night when you get in.

When you are ready. If your lazy and the blanket didn't get too pissy, just hang up to dry daily and reuse until sufficiently "gross". If only a small area (usually a circle where your crotch was) is affected, then you can pinch the center of the "pee zone" and pull forward, the other hand pinching where the "pee zone" ends. This small area can be put in a sink and held under a running tap, apply hand soap or whatever you have.

Once your blanket situation is dealt with for the day, move on to the sheets. If the sheets were soaked then they need to be washed, you can get a ton of sheets at yard sales, craigslist(also post wanted to buy), and thrift stores. You can also just ask people to check their storage for extra sets in your bed size, say you need them for a college project and if they pry then say you don't know, your helping out a cute artsy girl...then again that might trigger 10x as many questions, lol.

So every night this happens, that night if you wanna toss them in the hamper. Then lay down a towel on the mattress waterproof liner (bed condom), then go back to sleep. Also you can be too tired to bother and after soaking with 1-2 towels like above, just lay 1-2 more down on sheets and sleep.

So is this a daily, weekly, monthly occurrence? If current then just make it a system and stop making yourself feel bad. Keep a separate dirty clothes hamper for the pissy sheets if you want to wash them separately, especially if they add up quick. Then just toss them in the laundry and go to sleep, or start the load in the morning and head to class, etc...that's assuming you live at home, etc)

If it's communal laundry like when you pay per load at apartments and so on, I'd start it when you get home and have it out, clean, dry, folded and put away before bed.If it's communal laundry like when you pay per load at apartments

Anyway those are just my thoughts...again. So PM me if you have any personal questions or just respond in here with an "answer" post to give us all an update on what you end up trying out, how it ends up, what works and what doesn't, etc. We'd all love to know, even if you just post an update "question" down the road even. Good Luck!
