Alan - I have been to the hospital a few times and I have a ligitimate need to wear diapers. First off it is no big deal! Bring your own diapers when you check-in and explain to the admitting nurse that you need them at night and that is all that you will need to say. Don't play any games of "accidently" wetting the bed just tell them up front. Catherters are an invasive process that can lead to discomfort and infection, the nurses are not interested cath'ing anyone they do not have to. Depending on what you are having done you may find you want to wear diapers all of the time in the hospital (I do) so you can dose all day without fear of wetting. You may also require help with a change, accept the help if it is offered and you need it.

Hello all, Well people sure have had both positive and negative experiences talking with a therapist so I thought I would relay what happened with me. First I want to thank everyone for sharing their experiences. I did decide to visit a therapist and have had five sessions so far. I choose a woman for maternal reasons, I would not want to discuss these things with a man, too weird. I choose someone with a MA in consoling and did hypnosis rather then an MD Psychiatrist, again I felt more comfortable knowing I would not get any drugs nor would my problems be seen as a "sick brain" but rather a personality quirk. My problems started when incontinence pushed me into 7/24 diaper wearing rather then just at night. I began having vivid dreams of being an infant in all sorts of situations, in a crib sleeping at night, out shopping, playing with blocks and trains in nothing but a diaper. I dream of being diapered, drinking from at bottle or sucking my thumb and in some cases I would wake up with my thumb in my mouth. Here is what we decided is probably going on. Under hypnosis I revealed a forced diapering experience when I was a child that I had lost conscience memory of and of several molestation incidents I had with a "family friend" which I do remember just don't like to talk about too much. I am probably not a true Adult Baby but rather I am afraid of becoming like an infant due to my physical illness, will I become a helpless baby because of MS? When she suggested this is what might be going on a light came on in my head and things started to make sense, I do not feel comfortable being an AB really but why am I dreaming of becoming one, my fears were eased right there on the spot. On the flip side I probably have some AB tendencies, when I am sick with a MS flair up we decided being treated a bit like a baby might no be a bad thing and may relieve some of the anxiety of being taken care of. So my visiting a therapist was a positive experience but judging from the other posts it is certainly not for everyone.

I have been considering going to a therapist regarding my emotions towards AB'ism. On one level it seems like I drawn towards become more of an AB but on another level I want to forget the whole thing and cannot believe I would ever consider it. Embarrassed, unsure, relationship concerns with my wife - I have them all. Has anyone else consulted a therapist and would not mind sharing the experience a bit, also how do you find a therapist that is at least familiar with AB's?

Hello - Simple question, long answer I suppose. I have had MS for several years leaving me incontinent at night and the last few months with bladder problems worsening requiring me to wear diapers day and night. I had no interest in diapers growing up or any other sort of tramautic experiences others have reported yet I find myself drawn to this site reading the posts and veiwing the photo's. I have no desire really to be an infant but yet all I have really wanted to do the past few weeks is go to bed with a bottle or a pacifier. So far I have resisted but I wanted to know if anyone else here has gone from incontinent to infant?
