I was just curious if wearing diapers helps you with your mental health. I know for me it does help me I can be down,stressed, or have a touch of anxiety and I can put a diaper on and it seems to help relieve some of the stress or feeling down at times. I also like just wearing diapers for no other reason than I just want to wear them and like wearing them. Most times I wear it’s just at home or running errands or hanging out with people. But there are times where I feel like I need to wear almost 24/7 which includes wearing to work just to help me through some of my tougher mental days. Just curious what others think or feel.
Definitely helps me, but I’m also urge ic. I’ve been wearing diapers off and on my whole life. Besides containing regular accidents, they allow me to go about my day with a lot more confidence and a lot less stress.

Well if you count (some not all) anxiety - but that’s not really fair in my case. Yes there is some that is untreated otherwise - but I am talking about the little bit of added anxiety if I have my diaper off too long. That happens because I start to be worried about accidents. And having IC issues my whole life - that is a real concern so…

There is definitely a relaxation element to it. I have quite an intense position at work so the knowledge that when I am not at work, I can just regress into a diaper and not even have to worry about using the toilet is of great comfort.
A few hours sat in a soggy (and occasionally messy) diaper is just the ticket to help me reset.

My wife told me that I’m a lot happier now that I’m wearing a diaper all the time. I don’t feel as high strung either. I’m sure wearing has something to do with it.

Diapers were primarily just a relaxing kink for me for a long time, but it wasn’t until I started regressing that it became majorly beneficial to my mental health.
So, technically, diapers alone don’t do too much other than simply being fun, but as part of the whole agere package, it has a profoundly positive impact on my mental health. It doesn’t quite take the place of meds and therapy, but it helps!

This is completely how I feel about wearing diapers too. I’m just sad it took me so long to discover the brilliance of wearing.

Same here. Since I became incontinent and dependant on nappies 24/7 I am a much calmer person.

Yes, I have noticed a huge overall improvement on my mood since starting to wear all the time. They are relaxing and comforting. They have a way of making me feel complete. It has been a great stress reliever.

I think this depends on where you are coming from. As someone who is incontinent and has to wear it’s the opposite side of the coin, rather than helping my mental health it is a cause of concern and anxiety and sometimes even depression. Which is why I tell ab/dl’s that want to be incontinent that they are far better staying continent and having the choice to wear or not.
The only time I think they may help is when I’ve regressed completely and know I’m safe and loved with my mummy.

I do find that they help me relax in the evenings after work for sure. On the flip side I may actually be more stressed now when I am not wearing. I definitely think I am a happier person in general when wearing.

I definitely feel more secure (and therefore relaxed) wearing protection at night now like I did when I was age 4 - 10 and then in college.

Like others have said, I feel less stress when wearing diapers, although I don’t wear just for stress. That is, I sometime wear just because I want to.

I think diapers take some of my anxiety away. I always feel much more relaxed in the evenings when I’m in a clean, dry diaper and fresh pyjamas.

I lost bladder control in 1968 .the first few years I absolutely hated it, then I got to where it didn’t bother me. Then sloley
I lost bladder control in 1968. for the first few years I absolutely hated it.Then i got to where it didn’t bother me much at all.Then slowly over the years I have become a little bit of a DL.The weird thing is that embarrasses me far more then wearing diapers do.

I think any activity that brings you joy/satisfaction in any way is good for your mental health. So in that sense, it sure does.
That being said: I don’t do it specufically to battle mental health issues, it is something that I want to engage in rather that feeling a need to do so.
Other people will have other experiences, reasons and links to mental health.
This is a very personal topic and I think we have to be careful to not generalize it. Because I am not comfortable with wearing diapers being seen as just a way to deal with mental health issues, but rather with something that most people do because they want to, that could possibly have certain mental health advantages for some people.
I do not want to put stigma on anyone and I am all for open-ness about mental health, but I don’t like my “hobby” being “medicalised” in general.

I don’t do it specifically for mental health. It’s just an extra tool for me
