Adult Bedwetting Community Group
A place for adults who still have problems wetting the bed to talk about their feelings, to discover solutions, and to talk about life in general.
Hi all,
This group has been going for awhile now! A lot of us kind of know each other already, but a lot of new people have joined who may not be aware of who is here or what kinds of issues we deal with. So, I thought it might be helpful if we all take a couple minutes and answer a few basic questions about who we are and why we're here... so that everyone in the group can see how many different people deal with this problem.
This is completely optional of course, but I hope it will help a lot of us who are still active here (longtime and recent members alike) to get to know and understand each other better!
Just 8 questions -- answer as short or as long as you want to. Complete sentences not required. :)
1. Your age group -- just the decade is fine (e.g., 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, etc.)
2. For how long have you had bedwetting problems?
3. About how often do you wet the bed currently? (Every night, most nights, once a week, twice a month, etc.)
4. Do you have any issues with urinary incontinence during the daytime? If so, how often?
5. Do you know or have an idea what causes your wetting problems?
6. What steps do you take to try to manage or control your bedwetting? (Absorbent products, bed pads, alarms, medication, fluid restrictions, timed awakening, etc.) Be as specific or nonspecific as you like!
7. Who else knows about your wetting issues? (Family members, friends, etc.) Are they supportive?
8. What are you most hoping to gain from being part of this group? Tell us whatever you are hoping to see happen here -- learning more about the facts of your condition, getting to know others, meeting new friends to chat with, just knowing you're not alone -- whatever is on your mind!
Thanks for taking the time to share with us! Please let me know if you ever have any questions or concerns about this group!
