About Me

I am an incontinent individual. That encompasses urinary and fecal incontinence. I unfortunately was born with a very underveloped sphincter and bladder muscle which makes it almost impossible to control my urinary and bowel movements. I've not gone a day in life without a diaper...and have not gone a day without being wet. More often than not I move my bowels on myself, but I can sometimes make it to a toilet. I've dealt with much silent humiliation, a child in a grown body is how I feel most often than not. With surgeries, medications, and advice not able to make any difference for me, it's now just a matter of how many diapers should I carry with me during the day, instead of being, what can I do to finally end this. I deal with depression, I deal with emotional rollercoasters, I deal with humiliation. I have frequent anxiety attacks (which most often cause bowel movements), but I do have some family members who help me with that. With all the help they bring, it's still not enough to end the diapers. I'm here to see what others have to say about their experiences, and share my own. I see this as a way to 'vent'...maybe keep a journal, and chat with others.
