Coping with an Ostomy isn't helped with a doping up of anti -depressents...it needs a total mental health input from all the agencies. Support and understanding. At the moment we are patched up and thrown out of hospital post Ostomy surgery, No one looks at the mental health issues we have. I am diagnosed with P.T.S.D post Stoma surgery, EMDzr therapy was useless. I am alone, desperate and in limbo
Nothing but pills, which I dont want. A bloody disgrace. More mental health support needed. We are left adrift. No bowel, pain and mental health issues. God help us all.

I’ve had a colostomy bag for three years. I also had one ten years ago that was reversed. This one cannot be reversed as I don’t have much bowel left. I feel so sad about this as my husband died three years ago and I now find it hard getting on with my life alone without my husband and coping with my permanent bag.
