As
a young child, I always knew that there was something different
about me compared to my siblings and friends. I was the only
one in the family who had to wear "pull ups" to
bed. I didn't understand why I was different. I had no idea
that I could be like other kids. I thought, as my mother told
me, that it would pass. I was embarrassed to go to my friends
houses but I was very open about it and was always able to
answer any questions that they had. I was however afraid that
they would laugh at me or tell other people. I went thought
a lot of different "programs" to get rid of my problem.
None of them worked. I tried pills, nasal sprays, no fluids
after dinner, and a restricted diet of certain fluids. They
all failed and in a way made me feel like a failure also.
This is where the Enuresis Treatment Center came in. When
I first came into the program I was thinking that this probably
wouldn't work just like all of the other treatments. As soon
as I walked into the door to the office I felt welcomed. I
was greeted and was given the encouragement that I needed.
Through the program I learned that I had a sleeping disorder
and that bedwetting is just a symptom of this disorder. The
program fixed that problem and now I can say that I feel much
better about myself when I go to sleepovers. I don't feel
like I have to hide it anymore and I feel much better about
myself.
Thank You Enuresis Treatment Center! I
will never forget the way you helped me!
