Bedwetting Support Group

Bedwetting (or nocturnal enuresis or sleepwetting) is involuntary urination while asleep. It is the normal state of affairs in infancy, but can be a source of embarrassment when it persists into school age or the teen or adult years. Find others who are coping with a bedwetting problem and share your experiences and questions.

Hi I'm Kirsten and I'm 19 years old.  I have been dealing with bedwetting since middle school due to the physical strain on my body and being overly tired after long practices.  I joined the thread in order to help others who deal with bedwetting and making sure that they know they aren't alone.  Currently enrolled in college training for triathlons that doesn't help with bedwetting issues but my feelings are that its a small price to pay in order to enjoy what you love to do.

Hi Kirsten. Your attitude is really good and I try to have the same where I do what I want to do and if I get stressed out which happens if I do concerts or have choir solos then I'm much more likely to have a wet bed. But the important thing is to have a life and not worry. :)

Hi Sazx. A good attitude came over time and did not happen over night. The first year I was a emotional reck and fought accepting the new night time routine. I agree with you on stress can defiantly increase bed wetting.

You have an amazing attitude towards bed wetting I wish I had the same confidence you do while I have accepted my current condition I still have so many negative thoughts towards it

Hi Kirsten,

Thanks for posting! I really do love your positive attitude. I agree you can’t let bedwettibg or incontinence get in the way of your goals or just simply enjoying life. Good for you!

A positive attitude is important when dealing with incontinence and bedwetting because it’s not your fault!

Hi Kirsten - great attitude! I have always been a bedwetter. At your age I ran 100/220 hurdles and started pentathlon. With riding horses and jumping; hill climbing; fencing; and dancing too, my peers at work overlooked the bedwetting.
And I could laugh and be easy about it too! Good luck!
