How I'm dealing..some reflections and whatnot

Hello..
While other people may be somehwat upsent over a new occournce so soon after being dry for a period of time, I have resolved to not stress out. I knew this was a possibility, which is why i kept protection around in my apartment just in case. It seems apparent to me now that i may never be "cured" Cure implies permanently in underwear. But then i realize, I AM wearing underwear, just the disposable absorbent kind. In an attempt at humor.. i came up for a pet nickname for my incontinence debacle. I dont suffer from OAB.. i suffer from WBS... Wonky Bladder Syndrome. Meaning, that i can be dry for weeks, months, years, and then for vairous reasons or no reason I go back to having accidents.. I suppose the goal for me is not to be cured, but to stay dry as long as possible. I realized that the biggest issue with incontinence is the rash part of it. Wearing diapers isnt that big of a deal in and of itself. It's only a big deal because society has made it one. I don't know if you guys heard, but Depend is starting an underwareness campaign to bring awareness to the fact that its just not the elderly that deal with incontinence. This i applaud, despite the fact that Depend is a subpar product to begin with....but getting rid of diaper stigma is key to helping those deal with this problem.
I suppose you could say..and i know that having incontinence is NOTHING like cancer, cancer kills people etc etc... I know..this is just a very loose vague metaphor.. WBS is a chronic condition with perioids of prevalenace and remission. ..and the treatment i just undewent is like atreatment.. and being dry is like im in remission.. and then it coming back is like the chronic conditons coming back.
It's just something i have to deal with... without shame, guilt or embarassment. Mom thinks that stress is a trigger for this, and i think theres some credence to that theory, since this recent occurance happened the night i found out a co counselor died. At first, i didnt think it was, because i had some pretty stressful times; in 2012, i had a 20 hour week job that was very stressful..but was dry... I guess sometimes i dont have control over what causes my bladder to get wonky.
So, with all this being said, do i plan to see a uroloogist and go through the biofeedback again? Well, yes.. because its possible that if i do the excersises daily, and diet.. i might have a longer time of being dry. Same thing with following the diet.
Peace out!
