My biggest secret.

[Archives1]

Hi I'm 25 (fit male) and I've been hiding this for YEARS. It's literally so depressing at times I'm mostly always wetting the bed. Probably 2-3 nights I'm not wet when I wake in the morning and they're the best ever. This has been happening every since I was little really even though it slowly stopped when I was 22 I could count on my hand how many times I did it that was the best year ever. Sadly it kind of came back the following year. It's always scared me on trying to start a relationship amongst other things but that's the biggie. I can say that it stops whenever I'm doing something out of the norm like at a hotel, or a friends house or whatever and when it does happen which is rarely I'm so over protective of anyone finding out that I go through unbelievable measures to clean it up before anyone awakens or figures anything out. I've never understood why that happens maybe it's something mentally but when I'm back home it starts right back up. When I was younger I took Adderall for ADD in which was used to treat my bed wetting also and it stopped immensely. I stopped taking it though cause when I did it made me feel down all the time, I was kind of in a depressed mindset. It was hard to choose between which I'd rather deal with but I did for the sake of my social life. It's been hard and it still is I've literally tried everything. I've just never received professional help for it as an adult, kind of embarrassing.

Emcfer,

First, work with a medical professional, either a urologist or a physical therapist, or both. Meanwhile, in order to keep your bedding clean and dry, experiment with protection sufficient to guarantee you an interrupted night's sleep.

Good luck.

Make that an UNinterrupted night's sleep.

If you mean diapers I'm not wearing those. But I've always made sure I have mattress covers. I don't know if I'd be able to afford that but I'll definitely look into it. Thanks @Patrick

There are several line items in the calculation which you make to decide what you can afford. The first, minus protection, is ruined bedding and an exasperated partner. Another is the cost of protection, whether disposable or washable. The upfront cost of washables is steep; however, because washables can last for years, their ultimate cost can be quite reasonable. Disposables have a lower initial cost and are often more covenient, but that cost can quickly add up over the course of time, and ultimately be far more expensive than washables.
