It was real hard to accept that I had to start wearing diapers all the time.
The stigmata of only babies or wierd people wore diapers was hard to overcome. But having a couple accidents in public was even harder and more embarising to deal with. Expecially having a messy accident in the middle of the store with everyone staring at me.

Hold your head up and keep going you are not alone.

It was real hard at first to get used to being in
diapers but life goes on. I just take it one day at a
time and keep going. Life is too short as it is to
worry about some of the things that life throws at us.

Like they say, when given lemons, make lemonade, hehe.

Having incontinence is a life altering event.
Weather it be from childhood or getting it later in
life. Its not just the physical effects of it and
dealing with what ever caused it, but its also a
mental altering event. It can be real hard mentally to
accept having incontinence and having to wear diapers
again.

Lots of people are too embarrassed to go to their Dr
and tell them that they are having urinary problems.
That attitude could even kill you if there is a
serious medical problem. Its very very important to
see your Dr and find out what is causing the
incontinence. Some cases can even be cured or, at least,
helped.

Hi I know this post is a little old but there alot real feelings in it.When I frist started with incon tried to push it under the rug boy accidents will bring you around in a quick time.Still dealing with it on the ego side diapers at this age 60's is tought.thanks

I just realize that there's people out there with even worse problems. I also find that talking about it with a few close and trusted friends also helps a lot emotionally.

The biggest thing I found was to disassociate the word "diapers" with babies. That helped me a great deal in overcoming the shame.
