Is it okay for me to wear diapers since I deal with depression and anxiety?

I was just on quora.com recently and came across this subject that I really can relate to.

Here's my honourest response.

Absolutely yes, I wear diapers/nappies from time to time as a adult who is partially incontinent and yes I have to admit that when I am stressed out or depressed

that I regress to my psychologically childhood or back to being a toddler, bit that's another story for another day.

I would say do what ever makes you feel right if diapers gives you comfort then wear them, after all that's what I do on a bad day.

However if your really badly suffering from depression and anxiety, my advice would be to seek help from a trained professional

or better yet get yourself a dog they are the best psychologists ever as they understand when you need them and they give you nothing but unconditional love and affection.

As I would be totally lost psychologically and emotionally, without the love and affection that my best female furry friend gives me on s daily basis

Talking of which having someone with a wet nose and soft fur who will kiss away your tears and hug you like you are the most important person in their lives is nothing short of heavenly.

Of course its OK to wear diapers if you are feeling down. I wear my diapers and rubber pants in part because I feel happier and more content in my diapers and even more so when I go potty in them. Love to potty several times during the day, making my diapers wetter and wetter and me happier and happier.

If you break the world up into bite sized chunks . We have needs and wants. Needs can be physical or emotional just as wants .

I want to a cop when I grow up i want to drive a Ferrari, I want a pulled pork sandwich ,I want to rich . All things are optional ,things you want to happen ,your life could change you may decide you want to a a cowboy ,you want to drive a Porsche, you don't have pulled pork but you have tuna so you make a tuna melt ,and yout not rich, but being middle class ain't bad ..

Needs are also physical or emotional and have to be met .such as wearing diapers because you physically require them or emotional require them

You adapt and function with life as an incontinent by keeping your waste contained in your diaper ,no embarrassing or potential staining or destruction of stuff .yours or someone else.

An emotional needs requires you to adapt your life and behavior in the same way for different reasons. Some people cope with emotions by drug or alcohol ,or some other substance abuse.

If you need diapers to help you cope with anxiety .WEAR THEM! they arent illegal immoral or fatening ,have no addictive or withdrawl effect harmfull to the bodies homeostasis .

There is a component of stigmatization of adults using diapers,many believe it originates in parents and geandparents use of language durig potty training such as “big boys/girls dont wear diapers,are you a big boy/ girl” “ your too old to need diapers” etc… in any event that stigma needs to go ,for everones benefit ,we have entire generations of eldery americans with dementia who truly need diapers but will do anything to get them off ( the rise in the textile industry of mew and different restraint/ anti strip clothing ,they cant remove what they cant get to ) its not a kink or ABDL issue at its heart ,its a nursing actual use/need industry . And theres a modesty / shame component people are raised with with which is a whole other novel that i wont dive into here.

Many people of all ages use and need diapers ,for various valid reasons ,the quicker we tackle these stigmas as invalid unreasonable unproductive the better we are . I am an incontinent ,I wear glasses,I wear splints and braces,I use a wheelchair ,(ask my G/F and she will probably say I need a hearing aide too) they are all accommodations to help me live the best life I can .

The same applies to your use, if diapers fill the need ,fabulous . Many people take anti depressants, anti psychotic's.anti convulsants ,hypertension medications as ways to cope ,nobody ever questions what drugs your using or taking or why ,but one little diaper sighting gets comments . In my case being a hot mess in a wheelchair removes astonishing quickly any diaper stigma and replaces it with good will and "need a hand ,brother?" And I really wish people needing diapers were met with that positivity and can do attitude ,all in all the problem is not with us ,its in peoples hearts and souls ,who tittle and giggle at adults in diapers ( then again when I went to kindergarten “ I was four eyes” ,by the time the 80's dawned glasses were mainstream /accepted,and since then LGBTQ came out of the closet and many other seemingly impossible advancements in normalizing and accepting different peoples needs ,the day for diapers is coming ,and when it does you'll already be there as a early adopter of live your best life ,even ifvthats using a diaper.

I think a person should feel free to wear a diaper for any reason, be it for need or because they want to.

I have to admit that long ago when I was working and was given an especially challenging assignment that might go on for several days or even weeks, the first thing I did was go home, pin my diapers on and wet and mess myself, and then just sort of immerse myself in how good it felt to be in a messy wet diaper for a few hours. I always felt it was so much better than have several martinis or smoking half a pack of cigarettes before going facing the world. Once I cleaned up, I was good to go.

100% YES

I was tested several yrs ago found to have autism +dd developmental disabilities. I along with it have anxiety which can get high caucusing me to wet myself so have been in diapers for a long time.

There is nothing wrong of wanting or needing to wear diapers for ANYONE. Rather it is for medical or wanting to aka “fetish ”.

If it's a fetish: Keep it where fetishes belong. Just be respectful towards others. Have respectful fun with it!

If it's a medical need: If it makes life easier and better for your condition, makes you more comfortable than so be it.

To sum this all up. I will not judge you for wearing diapers for a fetish or for a medical need. YES IT'S OK TO WEAR DIAPERS IF YOU WANT TO DO SO as long as you do it RESPECTFULLY.

I do wear diapers 24/7 for a medical need. I also enjoy wearing diapers as a medical need known as a fetish. I always try to be 100% respectful about it. I change when needed and I don't flaunt them.

I don't need diapers for any physical need. A kink brought me to diapers, and I quickly realized unexpectedly how much better I felt, besides kink or anything sexual. I felt calm safe like I was wearing a thunder blanket. So yes they are in a way a coping mechanism and just enjoy wearing them under my clothing. I am not exposing anyone or hurting anyone so why not??
