Jamie,

 

I thought you might find it helpful to read about the most common types of incontinence:

 

Types of Incontinence

http://www.healthcentral.com/incontinence/types.html

 

Many times it helps to look at the kinds and causes of things that affect us in order to best understand -- or even figure out -- why we have certain problems, like incontinence.

 

Also, see:

I hope this information is helpful to you.

 

Best regards,

Maria

Dear Jamie,

 

              Sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease.I only wear diapers at night  for bedwetting so I obviously don't know what you're going through but there are plenty of people who can help you get through this.There plenty of health groups out there on Yahoo and MSN that have support groups for various ailments.

 

  I suggest you look up some of these groups and join one for moral support.There are also groups such as NAFC(National Association for Continence) and the Simon Foundation for Continence.They should be able to provide you with further information about different support groups for those suffering from incontinence.

 

  Finally,if finances permit it you might consider talking to a therapist regarding your incontinence.They should be able to help you come to terms with wearing diapers.Good luck.
