I have started few discussion about the recent problem my BF is having.
He is wetting his bed for about 2 months.
We saw a doctor and he said its from stress
and deep sleep.
According to the advice here, he has also stopped drinking water
about 2 hours before sleep.
For last 2-3 days, he is sleeping on Rubber sheet naked, as it will decrese the washing
the day after if he wets.
The bed and mattress can be safe too.
in the last 3 days, the day b4 yesterday, he did not wet,
next day he woke up when he already started to wet.
And yesterday, the problem was more.
He wetted twice completely and next time during early morning when
he was about to do again, he woke up.
I am giving him support and telling him not to be so demoralized.
But today morning when he called me, he was nearly crying and tellng that he is ashmed of himself.
What can I do to pacify him?
I have told him not to think that much.
He is now scared to sleep!
Pls help. I am also very depressed for him.

My BF is very depressed.. He is demoralized! I would think he is feeling quite scared and depressed over the situation but it is something he will get over. There are many products on the market to help prevent bedwetting. There are medications and personal products thatcan be used. There is no reason for him to sleep on the floor, naked, this only adds to his embarrassment. He needs to talk to a different doctor, one who will prescribe the needed medications! Keep standing beside him and he will know he has a great girlfriend.

Oh my world? Your bf has a health problem? Hmmn... well, that's a bad news. Anyway, since your bf told you that he's so ashamed about himself, why not tell him that don't be? Anyone will go to a phase of suffering and if he can recover this stage of his life, that would be great. You will of course tell him that you're always there for him but, if he himself doesn't want to help his own self. There's no purpose that he can recover again from that demoralization. Tell him, not to get discouraged. And, let his mind recover. Demoralization is just from the people's mind, not really a physical pain that you need to suffer. People's mind are sometimes making us down. So, well? I hoped it helps.

...Here in the USA, there are medications one can take to stop bed wetting. I have a child who sleeps so soundly they do not wake up. When my other child is upset, they will wet the bed.
...There are "Depends" under garments, too. I have a girlfriend whose daughter wears them at night.
...Can he set his alarm to get up in the middle of the night to go? Is there someone who can get him up in the middle of the night to use the rest room?
...All of these should be secondary to alievating the stress. If the stressor is gone, the bed wetting may stop. Find out what he can do to get rid of the stress.
...Good luck with this. Peace be with you. =(^;^)= Della

I know I had some bed wetting when I was on Serequel, and another friend told me he did that too. Serequel is for pychosis, I am also on other medications too. His stress level must be high, There is a new technique it is EMDR Eye Movement Doul Rapid? It helps with stress level, you use both sides of your brain, and hands, which move up and down.I think not sleeping is the depression, some don't sleep for day, and some sleep all day. He is fortunate to have your support. Depression seems to make every one around depressed. You should see if a Doctor can help you, 1 in 5 people will suffer from depression in their life in the US.
