So tomorrow we’ll be having a 6 hour stop over in Taiwan and we’ll only be exploring the places near the Taoyuan Airport. What would be much better to buy in Klook? The Easycard or the Unli transportation card? We’re having a sort of debacle over this so I need a little more help and clarification. And also would it be necessary to learn a little bit of Mandarin to communicate with the locals? Thank you so much!
I’m 17F and I still wet the bed every night. I used to wet my bed as a child but I stopped 9 years old. And then, I do not know what happened, but when I was 12 it came back and never went away ever again.
What I am having isn’t normal and I know it. My mom hasn’t tried helping me and cusses me out when my diapers leak. I really am frustrated with her because I told her it could be a “medical condition” and that I might need to go to the doctor about it and all she said was “Think that your not gonna pee the bed anymore” (like using mind over matter) and had this condescending tone about it.
Mind you we are talking that poor as well. We can afford the doctors but she just idk doesn’t care or something. My diapers cost around 240 dollars every year and that costs more than a check up.
The only person that truly tried to help me was my dad and his wife but my mom hates him so ofc I couldn’t continue the treatment he had planned for me.
It’s super embarrassing and I can’t sleep in school because of it. No matter how tired I am I cannot go to sleep in fears of everybody finding out.
I am almost 18 and I truly need help about it.
Here are somethings that I noticed about my nocturnal enuresis:
If I sleep in the day or very late at midnight, most of the time I do not pee at all or just pee a little bit.
(It’s not me but I heard it can be genetic too) my mom in her teens also peed the bed and I had to find out from my aunt who my mom hates. I also had an aunt from my grandpa’s side tell me that she used to pee the bed in her teens. I also have a niece who is a year older than me that pees the bed but not so frequently. So that’s something.
I have slept sitting up in planes, cars, and, accidentally, in school before and I haven’t had a pee incident whenever I sleep sitting up.
Somethings that I have tried and do:
I have tried that mind over matter thing and there was 3 instances I remember where it worked but in all of those I slept during the day. I also try it every night before going to sleep but it doesn’t work.
The help my dad offered me was this sort of acupuncture or massage and the person said that I had a cold? (she said “lamig” (Im filipino) in my stomach and I felt a big ball in my stomach which might be my constipation since I didn’t have a bowel movement that week I was there with his family) in my stomach because I slept with my shirt up exposing my belly a lot.
I’ve tried drinking less water (I used to drink 2 liters now I drink 1 liter 😭) to which did not help and just resulted in very stinky pee.
I used to not drink caffeine and that also didn’t stop my nocturnal enuresis. (I drink tea nowadays to keep me up) I also drink milk tea (but like 3 to 4 times a month only) and that doesn’t seem to induce the peeing.
I do not drink anything else besides tea, water, milk, milk tea and laban (which I only started drinking this year and not in the previous years) (I also drink it not so often)
I eat once and sometimes twice a day. My diet always contains a lot of chicken and protein with flat bread or rice and rarely any vegetables or fruit (but I do like them and used to eat vegetables and fruit and no meat daily when I was 12 to 15).
This might be the reason why I have this condition so I am gonna say it: I hold in my pee A LOT and it started when I was 11 years old. But I do try not to do it and I pee every night before going to bed.
I am usually not under any stress, I am a very laidback and ignorant person, I rarely stress over anything.
I do masturbate before going to bed (I do it every time before going to bed whether it be day or night) to help me sleep but there are times where I do not do it for weeks and that doesn’t seem to change the fact I still pee. I also started masturbating at 12.
I haven’t tried anything else to help me like medicines or teas that help increase adh production because I can’t find corn silk tea anywhere in Dubai (yeah I live in dubai currently.)
I do not have any mental conditions or any medical diagnosis. Except for when I was 3 years old and had trauma according to a welfare agent cause my mom tried to seek psychiatric assistance in our local Department of social welfare and development in the Philippines. She was abroad when I was 2 to 3 and I was left with my dad’s family where I remember being hit a lot and being filthy.
Please help me ☹️ I am so frustrated about it and desperate to find a solution for it (if you have tips that would be nice too). If you have further questions I am very willing to answer. Thank you!!!
