I have a suprapubic catheter. I find it very embarrassing when people find out. I struggle with fashionable clothes and starting new relationships so awkward and embarrassing. Does anyone else go through thisann-marie wideman

Hello @cakey
I understand what you must be going through, please remember this is not your fault you have a Medical Condition that does not allow for high fashion, and if people don't understand that's their problem not yours. as for new relationships tell them from the start, if the can't handle it then they are not the right supportive person you need in your life. i really do understand how you feel, -
