Hi everyone,
I have been a diaper lover for aslong as I can remember and for the past five years or so have been struggling with two bladder problems.
1. Feeling like I need to pee all the time, even when I'm not drinking. When I am drinking its almost unbearable and its always noticable to others how often I go to the bathroom. This alone is not so bad but...
2. Sometimes I cannot pee, usually when anxious or nervous. I can never pee in a urinal unless I'm sure no one else will come in, I can usually go in a stall but not always. Sometimes I cannot go even at home if I am particularly agitated and there are people I don't trust around. The only time I can be certain is when I am at home, either alone or with people I trust and when I am wearing a diaper of course.
One naturally agrevates the other and has become a real problem in social situations at times. The problem is what to do about it. I've tried the doctors, who dismissed it as stress and simply said "Just try to relex before you go". This never helped.
My girlfriend (at the time) made an interesting observation; It was likely the reason I couldn't pee when nervous was because I was going so often that I didn't really need to go (not always the case, especially when drinking alcohol). So to help this she suggested bladder retraining, which means trying not to go so reagularly, usually in gradual steps so you make the gap larger as you go. If I only pee when I really need to maybe the other problem would be less prevalent. She did not know about my diapers (no one I know personally does) but I thougt of them imidiately.
So how could diapers help? You may think that wearing a diaper would make you less inclined to hold it in. Maybe fo some it would. I decided to try it recently now that I am single and uni finished for christmas so I had a good five days when no-one was around. I wore diapers 24/7 the whole time and I found that it relieved any anxiety I had about needing to go. I went hours without going, usually to the point where I was practically wetting myself anyway.
Now I am staying with friends for xmas I am no longer wearing diapers but I still feel more confident about going out and not worrying about having trouble peeing. I go much longer without going even when drinking?
I was wondering though if this sort of thing is ever done professionally. If not, why not, could there be complications from doing this too often? I would appreciate any input anyone has.
