Hi guys, my name is Christy! Im from Alberta Canada and Im 23 years old. I deal with nocturnal enuresis so navigating relationships at my age is a struggle when it comes to the point of having sleepovers and stuff. Im looking to connect with other people close to my age who may relate to the struggles of being a bedwetter at this age
 
Hi Christy,
Glad you are here. I’m sure you meet many nice people here that can help. Just know, you are by far not alone. This is a great place with many wonderful folks to get info, ask questions, bounce ideas, make new friends with similar issues.
Welcome!

I'm in college and I'm a bed wetter, too. It's prevented me from doing lots of things with friends. I turn down overnight invitations with made up excuses. It's just easier.
 
Hi Christy.... Although I am now way older than you, I have suffered with night time bedwetting almost all my life. At your age, mine was usually related to how much stress was going on in my life. Whilst it didnt stop me doing social group things which involved sleepovers (I used to take diapers etc and hide it) it did interfere with more 'personal sleepovers' and I almost always made sure I went home. It took me many years to actually 'declare'/upfront it to the point of being prepared just like you would be for a womans monthly cycle... it was something out of my conscious control, and the stress of hiding it just added even more stress !!! Until then,I wouldnt dare go to sleep or obsessively go to the toilet before bed time. I would advocate upfronting it and taking supplies with you if that is at all possible. No-one thought any less of me and I wish I had upfronted it earlier and saved myself all the worry. But Im not 23 . I wish you lots of good luck in navigating this
 
I am also older than you, but that is ok. You will be fine! At least that is what I keep telling myself. lol
 
While I, too, am much older than you, I was wetting nightly at your age. I had finished college, which presented all too many challenges with this problem, but got through it and finally found a relationship that has lasted 36 years-to-date :) Hang in there, and feel free to reach out for support, if desired. You are not alone!
 
Hi Christy! Nice to meet you. I’m in British Columbia. I used to live in Alberta. I have lots of issues like yours. It’s a good place here to share different info.
 
Hi Christy,
Lots of us here are bed wetters. I'm sorry it's so tough for young people to navigate this issue when living in a dorm or when dating. I get it though! We always say, if a person can't handle it, they're not worth having a relationship with. But health issues are just more difficult to handle when you're young. Just wear your diapers to bed and wake up dry, there are way worse things than wetting your bed!
