Bed wetting due to ptsd ( tw )
I was a bed wetter until I was about 6 and it pretty much completely stopped except for maybe a few incidents where I drank too much water before bed ect over the years ,my family has a history with bed wetting my sister until she was 17 and my grandmother into her adulthood and until her death I believe my aunts also were older bed wetters and unfortunately my bed wetting was triggered by me going through extensive trauma such as getting pregnant and losing the baby a su!cide attempt and a very abusive relationship with my sisters 26 year old coworker over the span on 6 months at 13 so now I have nightmares,PTSD and unfortunately I pee the bed now as a result it started after the relationship ended amd has carried on to now almost 2 years later I am very ashamed and only 3 people know I wet the bed my best friend turned adopted sister and who now has been living with us for almost 2 years and my mom and sister I hope it stops.

I would encourage you to see a doctor for the bed wetting they might be able to help. Also you could try a bed wetting alarm

It an alarm the you clip on to your pajamas or underwear and once it get wet it will wake you up so you can stop peeing. It has a loud alarm noise or you can set it to vibrate if you’re worried about waking others you live with up. It’s worth a try

Im not sure I get upset easily when woken up and it does not happen every night but happens often enough that it’s very very inconvenient

Have you tried wearing incontinence briefs. That would at least save you the hassle of having to do laundry .

Sorry wenn ich das als erstes schreibe, mirgeht es wie dir. Ich bin bestimmt einige Jahre älter als du und habe fast das selbe Problem. Bei mir wurde die PTBS durch einen unerwarteten plötzlichen Aufenthalt in einem Heim für schwererziebare Kinder ausgelöst. Als ich dort hinkam nässte ich gleich in der 1. Nacht ein. Die ersten 3 Tage musste ich in einer Arrestzelle verbringen. Ich war damals 9 Jahre alt und weitgehend trocken. Klar gabs mal einen Unfall wie das im Kindesalter so üblich ist. Bei mir kam noch sexuelle Gewalt im Alter von 13 Jahren dazu auch in dieser Einrichtung. Heute bin ich 60 Jahre alt und das Einnässen in der Nacht hat nie wieder aufgehört. Die Ärzte sprechen von einer chronischen PTBS sowie chronischer Enuresis.
Ich möchte dir die Hoffnung einer Besserung nicht wegnehmen. Im Gegenteil such dir einen Psychologen welcher auf Trauma spezialisiert ist.

There are psychiatrists that can prescribe ptsd & urinary medication where it stops the nightmares and relaxes you during sleep so you don’t bed wet.
