A Friend In Need

[LilLadyLexi]

"It's not funny! It's frustrating!"

[Wannatripbaby]

"No no, I meant that as a good thing. As a psychologist in the making I've learned a few things. And one of the ones that stuck out to me was this: You can't help someone if they don't want to be helped. And no one asks for help unless they know something is wrong with them. You've finally reached the place where you're willing to admit you have a problem! And to that I say 'Congratulations.' Because now we can actually start adressing the issue instead of stepping on each other's toes."

"okay. So what now. It's not helping that much"

[Wannatripbaby]

"First things first: You need to eat some lunch." He lets go of you and goes over to the kitchen to warm up your takeout.

@RainbowEclipse

[LilLadyLexi]

"I'm not really that hungry though. What did you even get?"

[Wannatripbaby]

"I seem to remember you liked Sesame chicken, right? Will you at least try to eat something? For my sake?"

@RainbowEclipse

[LilLadyLexi]

"I'll try I guess" Charlotte said taking it and starting to pick at it

[Wannatripbaby]

Cal turns on some soft, relaxing music and sits down at the other end of the couch. He pulls out his phone and starts checking Facebook so that you don't feel like he's just sitting there watching you eat.

[LilLadyLexi]

"Cal. Can we talk about a solution..."

[Wannatripbaby]

He puts down his phone. "Of course we can, Charlotte. That's what I'm here for."

@RainbowEclipse

[LilLadyLexi]

"What options do I have?"

[Wannatripbaby]

"For which problem? The stress or The wetting?

@RainbowEclipse

[LilLadyLexi]

"Both..."

[Wannatripbaby]

"Well, for the wetting I've already prescribed and even bought you a solution. But you turned it down flat because of your stubborn pride."

@RainbowEclipse

[LilLadyLexi]

"There must be something else that'd work though? Medication?"

There was a medicine for everything. Wasn't there?

[Wannatripbaby]

"I thought about that. But my research all but confirmed that over-the-counter drugs--even those designed for this type of issue--almost never work. And the side effects can sometimes make life even more miserable than the problem they were supposed to fix!"

@RainbowEclipse

[LilLadyLexi]

"like what though. Like I'm willing to try at least"

[Wannatripbaby]

"Well, depending on which one you go with, it can be any combination of headaches, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, insomnia, trouble passing urine, loss of appetite, dehydration, diarrhea--yes, 'diarrhea' is a side effect of a bladder control pill. Go figure."

@RainbowEclipse

[LilLadyLexi]

"ooookay. Maybe not then"

[Wannatripbaby]

"I still don't see the big deal. It's just slightly thicker underwear. Nobody will ever have to know. Hell, in my research some people actually said they liked wearing diapers! Describing it as 'like sitting on a pillow wherever you go.' So it's got added benefits besides keeping your accidents contained."

@RainbowEclipse

[Wannatripbaby]

Bump

@RainbowEclipse

[LilLadyLexi]

"Some people like it? What?" That had to be a lie. No one could possibly like it

[Wannatripbaby]

He shrugs. "It's not all that strange. People can learn to like virtually anything. We're pathologically hard-wired to learn to like things or people that we view as helpful."

@RainbowEclipse

[LilLadyLexi]

"I prefer my example. They're wierd"

[Wannatripbaby]

By now Cal was beginning to show frustration. "Will you please explain to me why you're making such a big deal out of this? Wearing diapers for a bladder issue is no different than wearing glasses for bad eyesight."
