Retired on pension, no children at home. but feeling the need for diapers 24/7 more than ever. Pandemic anxiety?
Anybody else?
Between a mix of being able to work from home for the first time and all the anxiety I’ve been having over this mess I’m taking this as a chance to finally try going 24/7 for a few weeks.

Yeah, I’m feeling the itch too. Too much stress and that’s one sure way to release it. I’ve had to adult the last few days however.

I’ve read that one of the first symptoms for the Wuhan virus is intestinal distress and/or diarrhea which would make most folks happy to be wearing a diaper, especially if it appears unexpectedly. It seems as this is a great time to catch up on your reading or binge watching of your favorite tv series. Good luck and stay padded.

Being sick while diapered is not fun. And very few would disagree, no doubt.

I have not changed my usage, my only anxiety so far has been “do I have enough?” In which I do, I think one of the most important things to do while isolated or hunkered down is to maintain some sort of schedule, that means getting dressed by a certain time, still going outside for fresh air, making a list of at least 3 things to accomplish during the day whether its big or small, be aware of the situation, its changing day to day, sometime hour to hour, but also be real about it, don’t get submersed into the mentality of the world is going to end.
I live approx. 65 miles NW of NYC, 2 counties over from me is NJ’s largest concentration of cases, its only expanding, the news here is doom, gloom, fearful, but I refuse to fall into that trap, my fiancée and I have taken steps to isolate ourselves, we no longer meet with people face to face, she’s working from home while I have to go to the office for now, but we are reducing hours and creating an online platform to do limited work.
The point of this is that life has changed as we know it, but it doesn’t mean the end, not by far, it just means we need to be more careful and appreciate things whether big or small.
I can’t be diapered longer than 24 / 7 ( medically incontinent ) .
On a more serious note, baby diapers are getting in very short supply at the local stores. If they run out due to panic buying, there are going to be a lot of poorer families, with young children, who are going to be in trouble .

I’m finding myself more distracted with diapers lately it helps with the stress and anxiety over this pandemic .
I guess we are lucky that something as simple as taping on a diaper can regress our troubles to no more than soothing diaper change when we need it .

I’m usually very stingy with how often I’ll let myself wear a diaper, but with everything going on and being stuck inside anyway I’m finding myself turning to it as an anxiety management method. I even bought some cute Crinklz diapers, which isn’t something I’ve done before.
I had not been stressed much but when my first day working from home started in the morning (NY is now on a 100% work from home order) I could not shake the anxiety… finally I went and found my stash and put one on - I havent worn for ages - it was very relaxing, you have to relax to wet yourself! I got right back into the groove of periodic wetting and I felt much better by the end of the day (and the diaper was Done!)
best wishes to you all and stay safe!
I was just talking to my wife about this I went from just in bed to about two a day when I get home that’s one of the first thing I want to put on to distress about this situation.

This is what I did after my wife died. It was my best way to deal with grief, depression and anxiety. I mentioned this to my psychologist/grief counselor and he agreed that it was a good tactic. One thing I do is have my TV set to turn on to the Today show, so when I wake in the morning via alarm clock, I turn on the TV. This used to work well but now that all the news is about Covid-19, it’s hard to take. Still, I need to get up and going so that’s what I do. I have a routine for the day to keep myself busy, especially since my work place is closed. We need to do the things to keep us going and if that includes wearing diaper, all the better.

Yup, I must admit since this officially started for us early march, I tend to wear more than usually, it helps reduce my anxiety level, I rarely ever do this but I have my paci in my mouth right now, I’m not diapered but plan to be for the night soon, I just feel like an unsecure 3-4 yrs old that would need a hug right now, all the fast-food closing their dining areas around me makes me very nervous, its still cold around here so eating outside isn’t yet an option and they absolutely refuse to serve walking people at the drive-thru, they say its not safe while in the summer they serve people riding their bikes or even skateboards or rollerblades (I may try this, I wasn’t bad in my teen yrs speaking of rollerblades here, my few experiences on a skateboard weren’t really good except at Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 on PC)
