I have my first doctors appointment tomorrow, and I'm scared. I'm scared of what's going to happen, I'm scared the doctor is going to accuse me of being lazy for wearing the nappy (I have fairly bad mobility problems and wasn't making it to the toilet in time 90% of the time), I'm also scared that I'm going to be told it's permanent. I was told years ago that over time, my medical conditions would worsen, and I keep remind myself that it's better to lose control of my bladder in my 20's than the use of my legs (again, something that is most likely to happen at some point), but being new to incontinence and suffering with depression anyway, it's hard.
I'm finding that I want to go out and about much less that normal, and that wasn't much to start with. I'm not wanting to be around friends in case of leaks. I guess with time this will improve, but it's hard coping with it now, whilst waiting for the improvement in the future.
Sorry to be post a lot right now, but I really have no one else to talk to about this right now.

P.S - Should I take a urine sample with me to the doctors, in case I can't actually provide one when I'm there? I literally have no control over my bladder right now, so even if I tried whilst at the doctors there is no guarantee I'd actually be able to produce a sample on command. I have no idea what to expect at the appointment.
