Being in diapers 24/7

So it's been about 6 months now that I had to start wearing diapers full time.

It's been very challenging not only the incontinent Part but learning how to deal with emotional and stress of diapers. I have recently been n a camping trip with 4 other friends. On that trip I've had to learn to change my diaper leaning against trees,cars and other places that was very difficult. Of course all my friends found out and they've been all very supportive. I have learned on that camping trip that wearing diapers has been very emotionally hard to deal with but it is not as big of a deal that I made it out to be. There actually have been some upsides. One is traveling I don't have to worry about going to public restrooms. This may sound weird but I get the feeling of some comfort in wearing diapers. Sometimes I even forget I'm wearing them. I guess overall I found they are not as bad as what I made it out to be at first. I guess it's just me getting used to them

I am so glad that you did the trip, found out that your friends are understanding and supportive, and that you are getting used to and even forgetting that you are wearing diapers!!

thank you. You know I am normally a go lucky kind of guy. Then but this diaper thing got me down so I can sit and worry about or say screw it. If My friends can't handle it them I figured they aren't really friends at all. This is something I have to deal with no different then if I tell them I have cancer..

Sounds like you have some true blue friends. I am so very happy for you! When I hear about people who disclose their incontinence to family and friends and then are shunned, it makes me so angry. Especially family members. But it sounds like you have some great friends, and for that I know everyone reading this will be cheering.
