I’ve been 24/7 and consciously not holding pee now for around 7.5 years. I’m dimly aware that I have developed severe OAB. I say only “dimly” because I use nappies and make no effort to hold pee so it doesn't bother me at all. It’s hard to be precise but I’m thinking the process took a lot longer than Google suggests. I think it took quite a few months to start. It became obvious after a year or so. It’s also not “incontinence”. During the day I generally know when I need to pee (but only get as far as to sense this if I’m thinking to “hold”) and if I’m close to a toilet I could deal with it in the conventional fashion. A kind of diaper dependency has emerged however insofar as I would need to visit a bathroom very, very frequently and if I don’t do so, an accident (“urge leakage” I guess) may ensue within about 90 minutes to 2 hours. For this reason alone it’s more practical to remain diapered now. I still have the capacity to go nappy-free for brief periods of time but almost never do so: maybe for the odd medical appointment. I can’t go nappy-free at night though because I developed bedwetting. That happens. It started at around 6 – 9 months and was quite rare at first but became more common over time. By about year #3 I was frequently wet at night. Now I’m not even sure because I don’t really notice or remember unless I have a pee dream or get woken up by my wetting. This "cured" my nocturia which was also developing along with OAB. I no longer need to wake up to pee 3 times per night as this can happen automatically in my sleep. -
Remidn me how do we private chat on here? Thanks, -
"I just don't want her to hate me cause i....i can't help it that i am like this where i...i need help with doing stuff and i'm not trying to do it for attention" i say all this as i looked up to you as its the first i spoken this much since we been here. I hugged pooh bear to help keep me calm as i partly didn't like being the center of attention as it makes me nervous. -

Sorry about the sleep. I suffer from insomnia and it sucks. I guess I'm not dealing with pain though. It's just my brain won't switch off. I’ve no doubt that there will be catastrophic battery failures here and there. I’m not too worried because evidence shows them to be rare and the battery warranty on my Tesla is 8 years anyway. There’s loads of evidence that modern internal combustion engines are kind of pushing the reliability envelope now in terms of looking for efficiency. I was watching a YouTube video on the Jaguar/Rover “Ingenium” engine just the other night (what a train wreck!) and I’m also aware of some occasionally-catastrophic design issues with Ford’s “Ecoboost”. I'm suspecting we've squeezed about as much juice as we can from the ICE. Hydrogen is an interesting idea. As it stands today, it doesn’t work (at least YET). It’s got great energy density (which remains the Achilles heel of batteries) but storage and transport suck and also, the process of making the hydrogen and getting your energy back is hideously inefficient. The “round trip” efficiency (make it from energy/convert it back to energy) is I believe around 1/3. 2/3 of your energy is lost. This compares to a modern battery that is around 90% efficient. Of course this might change but right now, batteries seem to be improving quicker than hydrogen tech. Either way I think it’s likely to be an EV using your energy be it from battery or hydrogen. Fuel cells (to convert hydrogen back to electricity) are more efficient and unlike hydrogen combustion engines, produce no exhaust emissions. Well, I've only got 5 years of EV to draw upon but neither my Tesla, nor Teslas owned by family and a friend have experienced significant battery degradation so my limited experience aligns with this. At 5 years I think I was down about 5%. I have one friend who has a very early Model 3 (2019) and supercharged a LOT - I think they're down more like 10%
