Humiliating Symptom – Wetting the Bed as an Adult
During my eating disorder and mental health struggles whilst in my 20s I went through one of the most mortifying and degrading bodily malfunctions of all time, when I started to wet the bed. This left me feeling completely pathetic and a sorry excuse for a human being, despite it not being my fault or a choice.
As an adult it was extremely confusing and humiliating because I felt I had regressed to something I used to do as a young child. I tore myself apart through the shame and guilt as I blamed myself for the accidents and wouldn’t cut myself any slack, knowing that I was a freak.
I had no awareness of how common it was and that there were legitimate physiological and medical causes for it. Bedwetting can often affect those in the general population as well, through things like excessive alcohol consumption or dreaming you are on the toilet whilst in a deep sleep.
To find out more about my humiliating experience and how I was able to come to terms and move past the shame and self-loathing, please refer to the video above.
Please know you are not alone, there are things that can be done to relieve this embarrassing symptom and it is very likely temporary. I came trough it in my late 20s and it has never happened again.
Please keep fighting, never lose hope, and join me in recovery!
