In what way(s) have you become incontinent? I was put on a medication that had side effects that led to me having to urinate a lot. I made the decision to continue the medication as the benefits outweigh the risk. I started wearing pull-ups to bed and out of the house, diapers when at home. I can go short periods of time without diapers if needed but it’s a bit of a gamble if my panties will stay dry.
How long did it take you? It’s been roughly 9 months of this medication. I noticed being able to just wet myself instead of try to hold it all the time became easier around 3ish months.
How long have you been incontinent? If it's been a long time, would you say your memory of being continent is in any way unclear? As I said, I’m not fully incontinent, I can hold it for short periods of time.
How was your continence before you decided to become incontinent? I used the bathroom relatively frequently, also had to get up to use the bathroom at night 1-2 times
Did people tell you anything about it before you did it, for example by encouraging you, warning you off, dismissing it as impossible? If people told you things, to what extent do you feel those things have been borne out? I told my doctor about my increased urge and frequency but not about wearing diapers to manage. My partner knows and fully supports me.
Have you tried to regain your continence? Were you successful, fully or partially? If partially, to what degree? I have not tried to regain full continence.
If your answer to the above question is "yes, partially," why would you say it was partially and not fully? Since you reached the point of partial recovery, have you found your controlbacksliding at all or has it remained stable? N/a
How do you feel about your incontinence? After developing it but before the present, have you ever felt very differently about it? Do you feel differently from how you expected to when you started out? Somedays it feels really stressful, like last week when my pull-up leaked at work. I feel embarrassed sometimes when I don’t make it to the bathroom on time or I just don’t even try to make it. Diapers were part of my kink for a long time. So sometimes it feels sensual and exciting. It is also nice to be able to finish up a task instead of rushing to the bathroom in the middle of it. I’m hoping the shame feelings will go away sooner than later.
