Teenage Bedwetting Community Group
This group welcomes all teenagers who are experiencing some form of wetting, including daytime and nightime, however, this group is centered around nighttime wetters.
Hi everyone I'm zack. This is very new and scary for talking about this but here i go.... I'm 17 and wet the bed every night.
I tried everything at first bedwetting alarms, getting woken up in the night, no drinks before bed. Nothing worked kept waking up in wet sheets. I was also always needing to pee alot during the day even had a few day accidents.
Went to numerous doctors and specialists finally I got diagnosed with having an over-active bladder. I've been doing therapy and I've pretty much tackled my day time issues and made it easy and manageable
However still wetting the bed every night, doctors say I might not be able to stop the bedwetting
The most embarrassing part is my mother got sick of wet sheets. She makes me wear nappies every night and often have to wear the same ones as my younger brother while I still fit in them. She says it save her money and effort.
I'm just really stressed and embarrassed and could really use someone to talk to
My name is Jay and I know exactly what you're going through. I only recently turned 18, and I wet the bed every night, too. Only difference is, mine is from an overactive bladder AND sleep apnea. But the rest is pretty much the same; I've tried all those solutions they recommended you, and they didn't work for me either. Like you, I was able to master my daytime wetting problems with some effort, but I still hardly ever wake up without being wet.
You seemed to be irked by the idea of nappies at night, but I know from experience that it's infinitely better to wake up in a wet nappy than in wet sheets. I know I tried going without nappies for a time, and the experience was a lot worse than with the nappies. However, I do recommend getting some adult-sized nappies as opposed to your younger sibling's. You can find them in your local Walmart or convenience store, which is where I get mine. If you need someone to chat with, I'll check back at my messages soon. I wish you the best of luck.
