I have a trauma history (current diag: CPTSD, DID). I wet my bed until approx age 13 but this coincidentally stopped when i developed eating disorders. My eating disorder was severe & i spent a lot of time over many years involuntarily hospitalised. Eventually i was put on an order 2 comply with treatment as an outpatient. During this phase of treatment i started drinking a lot of alcohol. I kept this a secret but it caused weight gain, which ultimately got me released from the treatment order, funnily enough!! Over the years since then ive slowly built a kind of good life (as good as i can with DID). I have a partner and a child.

ova the last couple of years my bedwetting has randomly started up again & ive had random incidents during the day as well. Ive been concerned obviously, but due 2 embarrassment have been self managing this problem until now.

Thats kind of my history. Its a lot, i know.

Just wondering if there’s many/any peeps out there who experience this combo and r willing 2 chat?

stay well evry1

If the incontinence has started since having a pregnancy, I am wondering if perhaps your pelvic floor muscles were weakened from the pregnancy. Have you thought of talking to a physical therapist who specializes in working with pelvic floor disorders? It could be that some exercises to strengthen those muscles might help tremendously. And please don't be embarrassed to discuss this with that kind of specialist ... this is what they do :-)
