NOTE: kind of sensitive topics
when I turn 13 years when I got my monthly cycles I needed help because I had chronic enuresis and bedwetting and luckily my mother decided to seek help from general physician to help me with this difficult situation. When we had the appointment I admit I often wet myself and also the fact that my cycles were long lasting and quite heavy. My doctor then prescribed me protective underwear so we didn’t need to spend a lot of money and I really needed this aid to function. So my mother really was saving my social life in several ways even if it felt strange wearing it to school in teenage life, my classmates sometimes noticed that I wore them and bullied me saying they would post photos on nettby but I don’t believe they actually did that.
I have Asperger syndrome and was often bullied in general for my way of being different in several ways; I was of different ethnicity than the tall, blue eyed kids and I came to identify strong with my background and the cultures of Sámi, Kven and Finnish peoples as well as my likely Romani/Reisende roots after finding my deep passion for family research/genealogy. And thanks to my mother I could sleep much better and don’t worry a lot about visible accidents at school.
I want to break the stigma around bedwetting and enuresis as well as about period troubles in youth and I hope to be successfully bring hope to the people, including the teenage girls struggles with these experience in life.
thank you for reading and don’t hesitate to seek help from health-care and support groups. You are worthy as you are ❤
