hi sophelle. cool name :-). I found this place when i googled teen bedwetting and Im sorta like u i started wetting the bed when i was like 11 then it just got worse and now its full time but the dr said i got probs with the nerves down there cause i dont feel i need to go until its to late. i had to get use to diapers and its no fun but u get use to them and its better then soaking the bed or your pants. my bladder is big too so when i go its a lot so pullups didnt work for me and i have to use real diapers. Dont feel bad theres lots of teens that wet at nite and in the day too just look at all the diapers in the stores! theres a cool group on yahoo called stay dry where theres other teens with our probs. anyway hope this helps.

oh yeah i forgot to say im 15 too. :-)

First check with your dr. prob tell your mom before your new dad finds out, mayby swhe can make him be nice, you cant keep soaking the bed, at least get a plastic sheet, advice on diapers just wear them if your wetting that much. and stress could be all, of it, i get really stressed or sad i start having day accidents too, goodluck

Hi Sophelle
You have several issues here that could be the cause of your problem, stress and depression. I know that my bed wetting gets very bad when I am under a lot of stress. Stress could very well be the root cause. However depression, and more so some antidepressants can cause bed wetting because they can be sedating and some actually relax the bladder muscles. First and foremost, you need to talk to your mother about this and you need to see your doctor. I know that it is not an easy thing to tell you mom or to talk to your doctor about. I saw many doctors in my preteen, teen age, and young adult years and it never gets easy. Just remember that it is not your fault, something that is beyond your control is at fault. I wish you the best of luck with this.

hi shadow here im a bedwetter too i also suffer from depression too and have alot of anger issues and i dont like to admit it but i cry myself to sleep most nights. i have been since on zoloft heres a good tip play your favorite relaxing song while going to sleep and focus on that youll feel a lot better.

Hi am sorry to hear u are having problems.and yes in my experiance stress can cause day and nightime wetting..and yes i know wearing protection is something that does take a bit of getting used to..but take it from me u do after awhile..now i do think u need to talk w your mom about what is going on..and if it goes well maybe for your own peace of mind u two could keep it between yerselves so your step dad wouldnt know.. And i am always here if you need to talk..i will answer any questions u have

sophelle sorry 2 hear the way your feeling get a plasic cover for your bed and buy diappers

I was just researching bedwetting for my great niece has this problem......my daughter was also a bedwetter..........my mother was a bedwetter, so I do think it can run in families. What I read today that I have never heard before is it can happen to individuals who are deep sleepers. I just read from the following site and sent to my niece's parents.........I use to feel so bad for my daughter waking up cold and wet.........getting after her was the worst thing I could ever think of doing. I do think you should talk to your Mom, I think she will be understanding and try to help you no make you feel bad.....you can't help it. Your stress is probably making it worse. Here is the site I found this morning.......http://www.nobedwetting.com/index.aspx..............

Hello sophelle its me shadow i lost my last email so im back youre pretty lucky its just night im 24/7 now w/ no control and have to go to surgery on tuesday

Hey I had a really hard time with this as well. I wet the bed when I was a kid, then in High School I rarely wet the bed. My first year at college I only wet the bed a few times and that was due to drinking. I really thought my problem was over with but then this fall I started to wake up wet just about once or twice a month. I have a lot of things going on in my life that are big stress factors. I was extremely embaressed because I'm at college and I have a roomate. Towards the end of the semester and closer to finals I started wetting even more frequently. I decided that I needed diapers. I went to the store and bought some depends maximum briefs. I started to wear them at night. My roomate and I are not close so I didn't tell him about the diapers directly even though he probably knows, and noticed that I had been washing my sheets frequently. Basically my routine was to go take a shower right before bed and bring my pjs and diaper in a little bag. In the showers there is a little changing area were I would change into my diaper and pjs. Then in the morning I would go take another shower and change out of my diaper and throw it in the trash which is next to the bathroom. I did this until school ended and I could go home. I already had an appiontment scheduled with the doctor when I got home. I had a number of tests done but it is still inconclusive as to the excact reason I have started wetting again. Over christmas break I wore every night, the depends worked alright but would often leak and weren't "super" comfy. So my mom ordered me Abena M4 diapers. I liked this a lot better, even though they are way more thick they do not leak and I feel confortable that I will not get my pj's wet or my bed and they fit me a lot better than the depends. I had a few accidents during the day but have not worn diapers during the day yet. Even though it sucks to wet during the night I am really glad I decided to were diapers. Once you get used to them they are not that bad really and are much better than the alternative of a wet bed. I would suggest you go to the store and try some depends Maximum Prodection and see if they work and if you dont mind the diapers you can check out xpmedical for some higher quaility more protective diapers.
