I've just been updating my profile information because I had a birthday last week, and so I'm now 25 instead of 24. It doesn't feel any different though!Just so you all know a bit about me: I suffer with anxiety and occasional panic attacks, and sometimes I do an accidental wee in bed while I'm asleep.

In 2013 I had an accident resulting in spinal injury at the base of my neck with paralysis from there down, spasticity (muscle contractions and spasms) and double incontinence. Both my anus and my urethra have been left closed except with manual intervention. I hardly ever pass urine via the usual route (I have a suprapubic catheter passing directly into my bladder about 2 inches below my...
I wear adult nappies 24/7 to manage my incontinence and was recently in hospital and needed help changing. The nurse was asking me about when I lost bladder control and how I came to wearing nappies and I explained that I had tried meds, catheters etc but always got UTIs and so preferred wearing nappies. When I was talking to her, I explained how I had wet the bed as a child, was in nappies til I was 6, was then dry for a few years but started wetting the bed again aged 11 and was back in nappies again until I was 14, when I was pretty reliably dry. Then in my mid 20s I suffered a spinal injury and once again I started wetting the bed. After trying various things without success my incontinence nurse suggested I go back to wearing nappies. Subsequent spinal issues led to me losing daytime control and by my mid 30s I was in nappies 24/7. I am now 64 and as we were talking realised that I had been in nappies for all bar 17 years!
