dlsafrica Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 So I think I last wore a diaper probably between four and six years ago, but I have seen a pattern in my life where if I don't know how to handle something or I feel insecure, I have tended towards diapers. Well, last Sunday my mom died, and it hasn't really affected me. I'm told that people have different reactions and "grieve" differently. When my dad died in 2011 the only time I ever felt it was when I was meant to give a speech at his funeral, so maybe this Wednesday it'll hit me. I don't know. But I woke up this morning (eight months into going to sleep and waking up with - with the exception of three nights when it fell out - a pacifier firmly in my mouth) thinking of investing in diapers again, and maybe, for once since I started dreaming of it six years ago, waking up diapered on my birthday, as it should be in my opinion. That's in 12 days time. Fortunately, the funeral is well before my birthday. I had an aunt die on my birthday in I think 1991. Does anyone else here find diapers to be a coping mechanism to put one's mind at ease? Link to comment
Warmwetandcozy Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Yes without diapers I would have gone insane years ago Link to comment
Mark84 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I almost always wore diapers as a coping mechanism. Things weren’t going the way I wanted them to in life? I’d buy some diapers. Didn’t get a promotion? Girlfriend broke up with me? Diapers. Since I’ve been married and my wife and I found a compromise (she has slowly come to accept, if not embrace, my enjoyment of wearing diapers), I only wear them around positive events, like my birthday, and I love that she thought of that! I think it’s way better, for those of us who only wear occasionally, to connect it to positive things, rather than negative. Link to comment
oliver d Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 In the past yes very much so but today that my wife knows it is connect to the good things in life. Link to comment
dlsafrica Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Thanks. I was wondering if I should actually go ahead with it this morning and purchase a bag. I just hope I don't end up with a horrid diaper that leaks. This might be the start of something kind of semi-permamanent. I don't know. Link to comment
Stroller Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Yes, I used to find I'd return to nappies when I was stressed. And then when the stress had reduced, I'd gradually stop wearing. It's not like that now though, as I've become more accepting about what I am & what I need. I don't want to stop wearing any more, and I'm less stressed all the time now. Go with what you feel you need to feel better, just don't feel guilty about it. It works for me anyway. Link to comment
mamasbaba1967 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I don't wear nappies for any other reason than I feel great when in them. Just been given some baby print ones for first time and they make me feel really babyish Link to comment
