baby vinny Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 I have been in the hospital on several occasions over my life. They have all been against me using diapers as a coping mechanism, going so far as to shame me about it in front of the other patients. I have used diapers as a coping skill for years for stress. I have urinary accidents when stressed and bowel leakage so it is necessary to use a diaper. I got Tommy to try and have a item to slow down and hold to keep my hands busy. i have always had dogs and they always have helped with my moods. i still use diapers but don't feel as lost when i can't when i have my puppy Layla or my baby doll Tommy. My need for these items have been listed in my medical file as regressive behaviors. the Doctor in this last stay asked when she discharged me If I was going to go back to my regressive behaviors and i said yes and she acted like i was wrong Link to comment
