Monica, I'm also a sporadic wetter ever since age 12, and I empathize with the difficulty posed by your (thankfully now former) housemates. I have also been forced to "discuss" the issue with roommates on occasion, and fortunately most of them have been very understanding, but my continual nightmare is having to deal with the situation you describe. With your future housemates it may be helpful to talk with them ahead of time -- I've done this and it always scares me to death, but it makes explaining things much easier afterwards and will take away some of the shock involved when they find out "the hard way." It also helps me to sleep better at night knowing that if I do wet the bed my roommates will be prepared to deal with it. If they seem uncomfortable or outright negative when you first bring it up, then you can at least find another living arrangement before mutual friendships develop and there's a chance for a social disasater. The diapers and plastic pants that others have suggested may help, but if you're only a sporadic wetter they may not be worth the expense or the trouble of hiding them, and your housemates will probably find them eventually anyway. Believe me, I know that it's very difficult to explain to a roommate that you have trouble controlling your bladder at night, but I also know from experience that many people out there do understand, and I think there's a lot of truth to the saying that "true friends don't care." I hope this is of help to you; if you'd like to talk more you may e-mail me at smallblad77@hotmail.com. Best of luck to you!
