Wearing, dealing with incontinence

[Archives1]

Incontinence might not seem like a big deal to some people but the people that do deal with it can be very upsetting and hard to manage at times. For wearing diapers it can make you feel like your world is falling part, and isolated from rest of your world. I found that being in diapers for most of my life is ok for the most part. I found that diapers do come in handy at times when I am on a road trip or at movies. I won't miss any of the movies.as for road trip I can change at next stop. There's good and bad about diapers, I tend to look on good-sized of it

Thanks for the good word. I’ve been dealing with social isolation all my life because of sever psoriasis. Mid 30s single, no prospects etc. and with my bladder issues continuing to get worse, I’m not optimistic. I’m fighting harder than ever with exercises and such but I just keep getting worse. I’m sorta feeling hopeless, the psoriasis is bad enough but add diapers to it and I’ll never find a partner. That’s really the main reason I still insist of fighting so hard and am still on a certain level still willing to risk public embarrassment if I cant sprint to the restroom in time than to wear diapers all the time.

I totally agree with the posts been in diapers for along time.I was lucky to be out of them for a few yrs then had to return to them the ego problem was big.The biggest thing going is my wife is a big supporter.

Issues with incontinence have shaped most of my life. There are many things I have not been able to do because of fear of an accident. But I also have a lot of blessings in my life, too. Many people have it far worse than me. So, I try not to get too depressed about my limitations.

Some people hate their diapers, others love them. To me, they are a handy tool, and a necessity. I do love my diaper when it doesn't leak!

Just like I need glasses to drive safely, I need diapers to avoid that other type of accident. There are still good days and bad days. Wishing you all a good one!

Hi Newbie2this, Please don't feel hopeless because you don't have a partner - at least not yet! Have you seen a specialist for your psoriasis? It's probably worth it to check to see if there are any new treatments coming down the pike. And maybe you can ask if there are any research projects that patients can participate in to see how new medicines will work. If that appeals to you please ask your doctor about getting in on research. As for the diapers, all of us here do use them and I think you'll find the majority really appreciates having such a thing available. I don't find that wearing protection limits my lifestyle at all. It allows me to go places and do things that would otherwise cause anxiety over having a noticeable accident. I hope this helps and be sure to reads Jamie325's post just above as he hits the nail right on the head!

Hi there,
Just be yourself. I’m sure you will find that when you do that people look past any imperfections we have and see the true person inside.

We wear different underwear but that doesn’t define who we are as people. Sure sometimes we are self conscious about it. My close friend has psoriasis also but it doesn’t make her any less of a friend. I love her for just being her. That’s what people do by nature. I’m sure there are some great things you are trying to help with both issues going on.

Don’t let any condition rob you from enjoying life or a relationship. Life is hard enough without beating oneself up over something that can’t be controlled.

And the best part, you may just find a person out there that loves you allot


Hope you have a great day today thank you for your post.

Hi again newbie2this, I may not have been perfectly clear in my post to you: oops: I wanted to say don't feel hopeless just because you don't have a partner. I wanted to say "you don't have a partner yet!" One never knows when a potential partner will show up. And that could apply to you as well as anyone else. (well I'm still waiting! I'm not letting it run my life however. But I hope you didn't think I meant to say don't feel hopeless yet. Well, I hope that's clear!
