I put this on the main health thread as well because it's not a sexual health thing but this thread just seems a lot more open about these kinds of topics, so I thought I'd put it here too.
This happened over a week ago now but honestly it was so embarrassing there'd be no way I could talk about it before then.
So I was on a zoom dance class and we were doing a lot of stuff involving jumping around. I'd needed the toilet for like 20 minutes but I wasn't desperate or anything, I stopped to sneeze at one point and it just all came out. I was wearing a leotard and tights (and underwear) and it soaked everything through. Going to the toilet just isn't done in my class and I had nothing to change into even if I went, so I stayed on the call until the end half an hour later just praying my leotard was too dark for anyone to see it. This made me feel so horrible in a way I can't really explain, I'm 16 and this has never happened before, I stood crying off camera because it was so stressful and I didn't know what to do.
In general I'm not the best at holding my pee, I can't really wait that long and I drink less water than most because when I do drink I end up using the toilet a lot. I've peed myself sneezing or jumping before to the point where it's been through my pantyliner and underwear but not anything else, but I just assumed that was normal at the time and now I'm guessing it's not.
Has anyone else ever been through this? I feel horrible about it, and I don't know what to do because I've never heard of this in teenagers before, is it something worth going to the doctors about or are they just going to fob me off because it hasn't happened too often? I really don't want to be telling anyone if I don't have to. If anyone has had something similar please please help or give me your experiences. Thanks!
