Telling a professional you like wearing diapers

The talk about private records being private made me smile-Am I the only one who finds that when I want something shared among professionals, it never is. And when I want something to be private, they all know about it? Maybe I am just unlucky...

I too have tried pelvic floor PT and had some success. I would encourage everyone to try it. It is available for men and women. It takes some dedication but, has great potential.

I was diagnosed with BPH probably 10 years ago. I remember having to pee in a cup while driving home from work because I couldn't hold it. Worst case of "leaking" I had was while pumping gas - completely lost control and emptied my bladder just standing there. The last few years have been much better - occasional leakage but not very much. I take my wife for long walks - 4 to 5 miles and have never had a problem while walking. But at the end of the walk, as we approach the porta-potty - I get a tremendous urge to go. Same thing happens after a long drive, when I get close to home or pull into a gas station I have a tremendous urge. My doc says it "proximity incontinence" - a form of stress incontinence. Psychologically induce involuntary muscle contractions put pressure on the bladder.

Never had a problem of leaking at night. Maybe once or twice a week I have to get up around 4 AM to pee.

I am so glad I had C-sections with both of my kids. I probably won't have to worry about this sort of thing. THank god!

My depression and anxiety is out of control do to the wetting. My Dr is making me see a therapist. I have told her about wearing and useing diapers. She said it could be both medical And mental. But she thinks right now to keep wearing untill they can figure out what's the problem. Now my heart is not normal and I'm wearing a heart monitor and I have test witch is making my anxiety go through the roof.

Be careful about seeing a therapist. They are not all qualified to explain this with you. However there are good child psychologists who are aware of this phenomenon and know that it is not something to be taken lightly. Please read the rest of my post I hope it can help.

This is true information. And a diaper is specifically referred to. If you need more information please email me.

I wrote a reply to this question on Quora.com I hope it helps you a lot. When I was 12 I was put back in diapers for medical reasons. I was scared to death and found the only people who were able to help me were DL?TBs. I am not a DL but it hurt me a lot when my DL friends told me how badly people looked down upon them. I wanted to help them and started doing research to find the answer as to why they liked diapers. What I found I posted on Quora. I hope it helps to give many of you some reassurance that there is nothing wrong with you. I hope it is okay to use urls here too.

There is a lot to this question that good child psychologists are well aware of but many others are not.

This is about what is known as the Transitional Phenomenon and the Transitional Object . This phenomenon is something that all children experience and certainly not something to be taken lightly.

I do not normally reply to posts about Adult Diaper Lovers but after thinking about this I’m thinking I should, because an adult DL is normally a child or adolescent DL first. This is not about Infantilism you are always a diaper lover first.

First let me reassure you there is not anything wrong with you. Yes this is very normal for some boys and girls, though not as prevalent in girls.

There is nothing that you should be afraid of. This is much more common than people realize.

This phenomenon happens to a child in infancy.

This is about the baby’s first personal possession the first comforting possession known as the Transitional Object that helps the child to console themselves during times of anxiety, when the mother is not there for the child, and is carried with the child all the way through adolescents. And yes a diaper can very normally be that first possession. Just as easily as a teddy bear or a blanket. This is not something to be ashamed of or afraid of. All children experience this phenomenon.

It is not unusual but not something people know much about.

Do not shun your child for this. This is about the bond between the infant, child and adolescent and the mother that is crucial to good healthy development. (This is not about regression.)

This is something very important throughout a child’s life.

Please read my reply at the following post. Please read all of it, it is very informative.

How common is it for a 12 year old to like wearing diapers?

My reply is, Why do boys become Diaper Lovers?

It is a long post but try to read all of it. The last part is just as important as the first.

Some people would call this a fetish but the doctor whose paper I referenced my reply from did not feel that liking diapers in childhood nor adolescence constituted a fetish although it was possible to develop as an adult.

For a person who is a diaper lover wearing diapers is not in itself a fetish. When wearing them takes on a more aggressive nature in affect for sexual gratification that is when it becomes the fetish. When it comes to Infantilism this is a paraphillia which is a derivative of the fetish. You are always a diaper lover first.

It is important to refer to the usage note of the following url.

Usage notes

1.

It is important to notice that the term can be and is also used to imply "less mainstream sexual practices" but without necessarily negatively implying any dysfunction or 'wrongness'.

I have worn diapers for comfort for decades. I avoided telling my Drs. for years. When I finally did they reacted as it was normal, asked a few questions what and that was the end of it. Now. I am not ashamed and do little to hide it from anyone other than the normal stuff people do to cover any other type of underwear. To me this is a relief, but for you it may not be.

I have been seeing my therapist for a couple of months. Yesterday we got into a discussion of how i was doing and some how she asked about some of my medical issues. So i talked about my diabetes and high blood pressure, she could tell i was struggling with telling her more. she said this is a safe place to talk. So i admitted that i am incontinent and she asked how i manage that, and i told her i wear adult diapers for the past 9 years. We talked about some of the shame i feel about that and she asked several questions about, self care and if the backpack i had was my diaper bag, and how there are other adults that have the same issues, and she has had clients before who had the same issues, and that it is ok. it was a very liberating discussion for me. We talked almost and hour about my incontinence and feeling about having to wear diapers. That was helpful.

I had a very nice woman who worked behind the counter of a local place where I picked up my diapers. As she got to know me, my situation, she just recently openly asked me why I do not switch to “Pull Ups” I was taken back.

I just answered that I really need to be in the more traditional plastic tapes diapers I had be wearing. She didn’t question it after my answer.

Waste your time and money on therapy.research has proven that diapers and the fetish is not a psychological disorder.this day and age, diapers are becoming more and more common and popular.theres age regression, sexual pleasure and arousal, mental therapy and found to be a very useful for anxiety, depression, agitation, relaxation, stress reduction, and very calming.endless people of all ages have recently discovered that wearing diapers is exceptionally comfortable and incrediblely pleasant.try not to be too hard on yourself, I've been enjoying diapers for over 50 years.there was a time, even myself felt mentally deranged.the mental health documents in the DSM also indicate that a diaper is a form of fetish item.and certainly not anything associated with a disorder or disfunctional.some research and studies do suggest a person evaluate the usage of diapers and possible interference it may create in terms of living a pro social, productive life
